    I was a Jarhead, Artillery....but I gotta say I have absolute respect for the US Army Airborne.
    The Marines preferred invasion route is from the sea, but a massive assault from the air is pure bad assery, equipment and all, unreal.
    We trained at a few Army bases, once or twice at Bragg.
    Driving around their base I would see gun park after gun park filled with M-198, 155MM Howitzers. I looked over at my Marine buddy and asked, “are they dropping those guns out the back of F’n airplanes?”
    He said “I think so dude.”
    I thought....Holy shit. We have enough trouble just pulling them with our trucks.
    A high school buddy of mine and West Point grad was an officer in the 75th Rangers.
    He invited me to Benning once to watch a Mass Tac. They dropped in, seemed like all damn day long. Was very impressed.
    One of the coolest Army cadences I ever heard:
    Hey Mother Russia you better behave,
    or we’ll fill your skies with Maroon Berets.
    My father in law was 509th PIR Gingerbread Men.

    I was the right door safety on this jump. I can be heard at 1:07 telling the jumper with the camera to keep eye to eye contact with the safety. The AJ was a rookie and made some minor (but not dangerous) mistakes. I'm sure he got better with experience. Everyone landed safely. This was one of many wonderful Airborne operations I participated in over my career as a Jumpmaster.

      Even after all these years, I still can't get over being a Para and watching jump videos. There is still nothing like being the #1 man when those side doors open up and you hear & feel that howling wind. It's a combination of pucker factor and excitement especially those last few seconds when you hand off your static line to the safety and you're staring at the engines of a C-17 waiting for those last few seconds to tick away. And just like that, the yellow light turns to green and that slap on your ass is your cue to go knees into the breeze. Best days of my life! Miss the guys, miss the lifestyle. Thank you for your service. AATHW. B BATTERY 1-321st FAR (ABN).

    I received my jumpmaster wings in 1980 and after that most of my just wear as a jumpmaster. As a jumpmaster of an aircraft we grassed both sides of the door and actually hung out the aircraft on a small platform that was kicked out once the door was open. if they're still jumping from a C-130 then I'm sure jumpers have seen it. As a jumpmaster there were times that as soon as the door was open and we made our inspections we would just hang out the door until the 1 minute warning.

    I still remember how absolutely fucking terrified I was when I did my first jump. I never got over that nerve racking feel you get while still in the aircraft and hearing the engines (partly because blood on the risers plays in my head) and that's all I can think about until I'm actually out and see my chute untangle (because fuck me that shit always twists)... still feels like I'm gonna break my legs when I land though.
