Current or Ex-military?

i can imagine you missing it, did you do actual paradrops into "hot" zone's ? thats what i respect about paratroops, they willingly and knowingly jump into a "kessel"... not the most tactical thing to do

didnt knew we have active duty boys over here.

i was active back in the day so i know to say thanks for the people who are now in our old shoes.

god speed to all the boys in active duty.

USAF E-5
Avionics Technician ( Almost all C-130 models )
currently 58th SOW (those that know feel my pain)
10 years and counting !

I am actually surprised how heavy we are on US Military here. Either that or a lot of non-US mil members aren't speaking up.

I bet we all gathered at a pub somewhere there would a lot of what we called "Sea Stories".

I also hear the the Foreign Legion had a had a crazy training regimen. My hat is off to you for completing it.

Cheers to you all!

you do a lot practice with para, but if it comes to what you call "hot " we came most times with helicopters .

Yes the uniform in the picture is an Army uniform but, damn it, the ABUs are too fucking hot in the desert.

Something like that, only I was usually on or near a boat because shit was wrong. Like say, that other sub-contractor screwed the pooch on specs and then our (who I worked for) gear/app didnt work.

Just lots of time standing in Fire Control or maybe AMR#1 with my engineers, I'd get my ass chewed down to the bone and have to ask for more. I'm the first to say, that ain't nothing like wearing the uniform. Just lots of time dockside.
