I was wishing I had a camera lens that got closer than 300mm, but my wallet won't support that kind of photography addiction. lol Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was his 4th jump for Airborne school. He's got one more sometime tonight and then he's finished. I'm proud of him, I know he's been having some pain, they've been working really hard, and he gets airsick. He realized after his first jump that he needed Dramamine to make it through the rest of them. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CatherineM Posted May 14, 2009 Share Posted May 14, 2009 My dad also said the qualifying jump at night was easier for him because he couldn't see the ground. He also said he hoped to never do it again. He jumped twice from burning planes before jump training, and twice after training, but never again. He said he didn't need a hobby that bad. It's like the boy scouts. You have to pay your dues, and get your merit badges. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Benning has several training schools, basic, OCS, Airborne, Ranger, etc. Then the actual Airborne and Ranger units (etc.) are stationed elsewhere.

Tell him dog flea collars around the top of his boots will keep the ticks and chiggers out, but get the waterproof kind. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
