I haven't, but my Dad was 173rd Airborne in Vietnam. Made jumps into combat. Passed away 3 years ago. Still proud of him.
Sorry to hear about your dad. My dad was in the 173rd in Vietnam too. I was born at Eglin Florida Ranger Camp after he got back from Vietnam when he was an instructor at the Ranger camp. Jumpmaster, etc. He retired a Colonel with something over 700 jumps. He's one tough SOB.

I've been there. My last gunnery exercise (Tank Table VIII) before I got out back in the 90's was on the tank range they had set up out there in the middle of Eglin's missile range. We were not far from the Ranger Camp. Did they have the giant alligator when you were there? One day when we had some downtime we went over to the Ranger camp to check him out. That was one big assed gator.
