Mitchel Goosen at your service, I don't know what I want to be when I grow up, don't care, just as long as I live by the beach and don't have to wear a tie, then I'll be stylin.

Somebody tries to push me and my Abrams out a perfectly good airplane, they'd better be ready to fight!

All kidding aside, nothing but respect for you airborne boys.

I haven't, but my Dad was 173rd Airborne in Vietnam. Made jumps into combat. Passed away 3 years ago. Still proud of him.

Big regret I have.

Been there done that in the 1980's.
My company commander was heavy in the airborne and I was stupid enough to volunteer.

Scruffy can get airborne with just one jump. What are you fat or something?

32 for me. Just enough to get comfortable in the air without totally destroying my knees.

I'm not in the millitary, but could somebody tell me where to get one of those get ups.

I hear you can pull mad arse if you dress up like a soldier and walk around campus.

Never jumped, but I've chunked a bunch of meat bombs on DZs. I've chunked >1000 in a day at Benning.

I've got 22 jumps. I would have had more but Desert Shield / Storm kept me from jumping for a while.

Friend of mine is one of the few Grenada Rangers still on active duty. Made the jump, ETS'd and enrolled in college a week later. Stayed in the reserves for years, went active after 9-11, went through the Q course at 42, and is a fiftysomething SF Medic. His picture was on the front page of the NYT shooting it out with a suicide squad trying to breach the Kabul embassy.

From our small town in BFE we have one SF dude, two SEALs, and a West Point grad who crossed over to "another government agency."
