    Seeing that 2nd ID soldier giving the little afghani girl skittles in the infantry museum gave me cold chills. In 2009-10 during my first deployment with 2nd ID I cant tell you how many times the little kids would run up to us asking for skittles or whatever candy we had on us to snack on. I always carried a couple bags of skittles on me and I just found it so special that the army has a display to show everyone one of the little things that brought smiles to our faces during the war.

Those towers at Airborne School brought back old memories, glad they gave you the opportunity to jump out of them.

    This brings back a lot of memories of when I enlisted Feb2021 and I got out recently because of my injuries in Airborne school. Loved my time over at Airborne school and loved being in the army

    That obstacle course brought back some memories, not sure if good or bad but memories nonetheless! Awesome video!
