Off to Airborne Training!

[Pastfinder]

Well, today I head off to the US Air Force Academy for a two week airborne training course. My first jump ever will be at 4500' out the door. I am really excited, will try and post pics when I get back.

He was just a rookie trooper
and was surely filled with fright
the sergeant quickly checked him out
and made sure his pack was tight
They stood him up and hooked him up
and turned him toward his right
and he ain't gonna jump no more

He felt the wind, he felt the cold
he felt the awful drop
He quietly counted to ten
to feel that tightening stop
The silk from his reserve poured out
and tied up in a knot
He ain't gonna jump no more

There was blood upon the risers.....
There was guts upon the chute
Intestines were a dangling
from the paratrooper's suit
The medicos picked him up
and poured him from his boots.....
And he ain't gonna jump no more




Good luck

Don't be like that jumpmaster down at Ft. Bragg, who made an unscheduled exit from a C-130 without his chute. :Q
