Just thought all of the legs out there should know.
Carry on, that is all.

Hooray! Knee-height 1 qt. canteen shuffle scars for everyone!
Can five-jump-chumps still celebrate?
Why not?
Wait a sec, did you get your wings at the Air Force Academy?
No! but I started a private rumor that had a bunch of cadets convinced the worst part of dropping from the towers was climbing them.
This should be changed to, “National outdated infil mechanism that likely wont ever get used again, that proud yet risk averse commanders will never let fade into history day.”
Nope, it’s still the method that will delivery the mostest boots and rifles into a remote-ish, flat-ish piece of ground in the quickest amount of time. Costly and risky, but still a valuable capability.
Flat ? St Mere Eglise DZ at Bragg wasn’t too flat….
ya or how about the half missed DZ’s that ended up with sticks all over the woodline..
It’s a tool in the Toolbox. Just like tanks, except it’s not just the method of infil, it’s a lifestyle.. BTW, every major conflict there’s been some sort of Airborne Op, not that chairborne chopper op, but Actual Parachutes both static line and non-static line..
Negative Ghostrider. Lots of airborne ops this war and each one of them before it.
You must be a Marine…
As a former rigger I can say that airdrops have happened. And so have combat jumps.
You sure are an idiot, SSD please ban this man… to all my fellow jumpers.. Geronimo!!!!

I’ll just leave this here.
Leg detected.
So are you physically or mentally to weak to be able to jump out of an airplane?

“Airborne, there is nothing like it on earth”
Chairborne!
When’s national “Leg” day?
That picture was taken at FBNC June 6th 2009. That’s the last jumper in the stick who was a COL who told me he would put his 9 1/2 in my 4th point if I didn’t get off the ramp (Cherry Blast jump). my chute is deploying in the pic. If you look there is a gap with the rest of the stick because the guy in front of me had wobbly knees and decided to scoot off the ramp like a Blackhawk LMAO
Happy Airborne Day
