That's to funny. I can envision them looking at you and saying that thinking WTF is he doing here. What made do it at that rank?

I had over thirty jumps when I went. The only thing keeping me from getting my senior badge was JM school (and night AJ). Did not know how hard it would be on my body. I had an office off of Butner Road (old WW II barracks) and I would go take a cold shower during lunch. Tore my old behind up.

Did my night AJ on Sicily with 3rd SFG (a good friend who was a PA hooked me up with the duty). Thought they would go easy for my pinning ceremony (my buddy did the actual pinning) since I was an LTC. Fat chance. They wore me out. I was black and blue when they were done. Every long tabber that was senior qualified was bashing my chest in. I think a couple of them went to the back of the line and did it again.
