ARRMMMYY Training SIR! In the glorius desert south of Boise Idaho. It was a tropical 95 degrees so the 50 lbs of gear and body armor kept us nice and cozy. :flame: The dust doubled as a great anti perspirant since it was just like talcum powder. :nice: Then, when it rained, we got to cool off and enjoy a luxurious mud bath... :banana: I did get to do an air assault in a Blackhawk helicopter, drive another Humveee and there was plenty of ammo to go around... :uzi: The last few days were recovery and cleanup so they gave us beer and plenty of war movies... :cheers: Oh the really bad pic of the girl is a waitress at a sports bar in Boise when they gave us liberty to go into town. :nice: These are all celphone pics.... :mad:

Take the "r" out of that Paul, you jarhead! Hoooaaahhh! Though, I guess Jordan gets to choose, judging from his present and past branches of service... I had a contract for 11X (11B with ranger contract), but got out to take an Army ROTC scholarship at Oregon (as you can see from my avatar). If not for a rare muscular condition I developed, I would be an infantry Lt. right now! Oh well. Paul and I have a lot in common! At least I am jump qualified.

Why you want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane is beyond me... :shrug: :D :flag:

Actually, considering the choppy ride and state of disrepair that was evident in the C-130's I jumped, it was my goal to exit each bird as quicky as possible, before any of them caught fire or experienced any of a host of possible mechanical failures. The aircraft are so small that to fit a full chalk of paratroopers, the jumpmasters had to literally walk over us to check things before we jumped. It was better to be falling slowly in a T-10C then to remain in those damn plains with over 100lbs of sh%@ attached to me!

I know but I'm not army to say it like that, I say Hoorah like every Teufelhunden does.

I got 18 jumps under my belt also but not from the marines, I used to skydive before.

You proved my point; you are not army! Just kidding. It's all the same to me. Civilian skydiving is a much different experience; more organized, subdued, comforturable and fun. You're lucky. I'll probably do it some day.
