    1st SFG from 1983-1991 what is now joint base McCord/Lewis. Never jumped from a c-17. Made a bunch out of the 130s and the 141s. A bunch more off of the flying school bus the ch-47. Of off the skids from blackhawks even one off a left over Huey. Even did one with the ROK soldiers in South Korea. A six man stick out of a gondola from a hot air balloon. Yes I miss those days.

Watching them in action causes a swelling of pride in me about our great country. A tradition that goes back many years and is carried forward by these young airman soldiers

    I grew up outside Fort Bragg, my father was stationed there back in the 70s. I still remember heading out to North Sicily to sit in the stands there and watch the static line drops, sometimes there were HALO drops. They used to publish the drop schedules in the Fayetteville Observer back then. Back then they dropped out of C-141s most of the time, C-17 wasn't a thing yet. I flew on a few C-141s and C-130s during my active duty time, preferred the C-141s because of the faster flight time.

      Rusty White nah delta force is top of the line. 82nd is very wide and trust, units like the Devils that are currently so fucked up that they can't go a single without jump with a toe jumper or some getting there arm sliced off isn't top of the line.
      toe jumper: a parajumper who hesitated to jump and as a result is being "dragged" by the plane since his cord has not detached.
      arm sliced off: when jumping that yellow cord pulls your chute. some people instead of handing it to the jump master throw it at him and it hits him and he fails to collect it. it then gets caught on the next jumpers arm and they sustain an injury as to where there bicep is cut and has internal bleeding.
      now a unit like the Falcons are top of the line for airborne and infantry operations

      Toe jumper? Its towed jumper, and it isn't caused by hesitating, but improper parachute wear or bad actions made by the jump master. Also, no paratrooper calls their static line ''yello' cord''. Also wtf is that arm sliced off bullshit? i didn't serve as an US airborne, but i was assigned to the 2nd Parachute Regiment when i was in the French Foreign Legion and i can smell your bullshit from far. It's clear you have never jumped out of a plane.

    Exiting the aircraft in 180+mph deafening winds, then 5 seconds later the most remote silence you have ever heard, then watching the ground slowly creep to you and then at the last 10 seconds mysteriously accelerate towards you. You instinctively want to curl up but your training reminds you to hit the balls of your feet, calf, thighs....then push up muscles. "PLF, Airborne"...Your training kicks in but most of the time it turns into a feet, butt and back of your head smacking onto the clay/sandy soil. I miss it but do not miss it at the same time.
