andrew.anderson Posted July 24, 2008 Share Posted July 24, 2008 I'm going to the BAR (Basic Airborne Refresher) here at Fort Bragg tomorrow. If my orders get cut I should be jumping on Saturday or Sunday. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I'm going to the BAR (Basic Airborne Refresher) here at Fort Bragg tomorrow. If my orders get cut I should be jumping on Saturday or Sunday. One of those things you dread doing right before, and can't wait to do again right after.... My last jump was at dawn on my 30th birthday at Ranger School, Eglin AFB, 1983. I have already told my daughters never to trust a man unwilling to exit an aircraft while in flight. Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
feersum dreadnaught Posted July 25, 2008 Share Posted July 25, 2008 I think that's bassackwards - it is "Don't trust men who jump out of perfectly good airplanes or squids who ride in boats that sink on purpose..." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

No such thing as a perfectly good airplane! Airborne FTMFW! Nice pics above, dmp.... I have many good ones of us slinging and dropping our howitzers from CH47s that I will post when I can.

Eblues70 Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 nothing wrong with jumping out of airplanes been there done that. now going underwater in a sub different story. Just to get the record straight... Submarines submerge, not sink... and there are more planes on the bottom of the ocean than submarines:lol: Just remember... Submariners go deeper and stay longer!!!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dmp Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Best reason to not join the Navy? If you go to war, would you rather get shot, or drown? SOLD | '06 spec.B - VF52/AVO/740cc/Up/Down | 238awhp | 50-80mph 3.1 seconds. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
starhm Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 it would be a concern...if we went to war with someone that had a navy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Garandman Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 The Recruiters have it all wrong: "Join the Army and see the world - we have the part you can walk on." Of course, that also includes garden spots like Korea, Iraq, A-Stan, and Fort Benning..... Who Dares Wins スバル Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SBT Posted July 27, 2008 Share Posted July 27, 2008 Punching holes in the ocean is not a bad thing. It's actually quite cool. You can fly, you just do it quieter and deeper. - Pro amore Dei et patriam et populum - Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mrmako Posted November 4, 2008 Share Posted November 4, 2008 I'm at Gordon for training right now. Did you like it here? Man, I was there for parts of the following years: 1987, 1988, 1990 - 1992, 1993, 1994 - 1996, 200, 2001. Once I was a civilian, going there was OK. I mean, I'm from NY (not the city). And Augusta does not like the military (at least prior to 9/11), and the whole "south" thing just wasn't me. There's a few good people there, but not my cup of tea. I even owned a home there for a while, but just didn't warm up to the place. I guess when you ask people there where have they traveled in their lives, and they say "Hot-lanta", you know you've reached the end of the educational rope. My favorite bar was a place on Washington road called Rhineharts. They had a volleyball pit in the back, and a huge tree growing through the middle of the bar. I guess the best place for beer now is across from the theatre off Wheeler road. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
