Ryana7769 Posted October 3, 2011 #13 Posted October 3, 2011 legs....non-airborne personnel. Atleast we were smart enough to just stay on the ground in the first place...not go hop on a plane fly around and jump out of said airplane and come back to the ground looking like a bunch of floating targets!!! :stirthepot::rotf: Oh...and I'm not offended brother.

saddlebum Posted October 3, 2011 #18 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) While I fully understand their reasoning, I can't help feeling that agreeing with it, just brings us down to their (westboro baptist church's) level and I like to believe that the rest of us, as human beings, are well above those morons.

ArcsSparks Posted October 3, 2011 #19 Posted October 3, 2011 (edited) There was 7 of us, the last Straight Leg Rangers in the Army (I didn't have time to go to jump school before my class stared) after 1970 it was a prerequesite to be jump qualified to go to Ranger School I did jump later at Ft' Riley, packed my own, what a rush (helicopter 2800') made 2 then got orders to Germany and never got my other 3 Check this out, Played it all the way to the jump Zone [ame=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VWgsdexkv18]Blood Upon the Risers(Gory Gory What a Hell of a Way to Die) - YouTube[/ame] Edited October 3, 2011 by Arcs&Sparks added content
Prairiehammer Posted October 3, 2011 #20 Posted October 3, 2011 I did jump later at Ft' Riley, packed my own, what a rush (helicopter 2800') made 2 then got orders to Germany and never got my other 3 I did two jumps with static line from a Huey at Fort Riley, too. All for fun. When my static line broke on the second jump, I decided that was enough. "Been there, done that" sort of thing.
ArcsSparks Posted October 3, 2011 #21 Posted October 3, 2011 If somone tells you they were scrared on the first jump suspect them as not telling the truth, your too dumb to be scared on the first, but now the second is a different story. The jumpmaster had to show me a foot for me to go the second time. both jumps I made 2 points of contact flat on my feet, flat on my a** real hard to walk for a couple of days.

Oh now, there you go insulting the morons of the world by comparing them to those Westboro..uhhh...ummm...oh hell, I'll think of a word eventually. Andy
