So my waiver for Warrant was not approved.

Somebody's drinking tonight!

Being a Warrant was sweet back in my day.

Bet the plump cav guys won't be cold.

Lol. None of the Cav guys are going (from my M-SLC). There's only 4 of use that wanted to go (3 passed the initial RPFT).

 

[Toujours Pret]

BAH here I come!

 

[YankeeVol]

That's sexy right there

 

[malinoisvol]

BAH here I come!

Gawd...I remember guys picking up girls and bringing them to the barracks. They'd go from room to room to room until they got escorted off base by the CC. Memories...ugh!

Awesome. For me jump #20 was a no illumination combat equipment night jump. That was the night I tore my PCL. Safe landings, Yank.

Edit, I was able to get another 5 jumps after rehab before I left Ft Polk and jump status.

 

[YankeeVol]

It was pretty cool. I was the number one jumper on the second pass. I never got to do a night jump in school like your supposed to be used of weather.

Depends honestly. If you're afraid of heights it might be a little nerve racking.

Be safe my friend. That's a heck of a drive, and I'll be praying you and your family have a safe trip.
