Only 66 & 1-OJC Rio Hato. Which kind of SUCKS seeing how as Support Psg at 4th RTB and was involed with drawing all the chutes and supporting just about every jump we did in 94' & 95', I could have jumped as much as I wanted. That's alright my troops got thiers and more. But it was enough to earn my Master Blasters! RLTW

Old-timer asks me, "Hey lieutenant, how many jumps you got, anyway?"
I sheepishly replied,"Seven, sir." (that was jump school, Ranger school, and 1 in my unit).
He told me, "Aw, don't feel bad. I only got four."

In the future if asked a question I should try and avert the attention from myself by lauding the experiences of others. (Great plan sir)

I'm lucky I got 35 static line jumps from '92 to end of '95 with the 501st with money as tight as it was.

Jumping at -20 is interesting.

I gotta admit: I never liked that damn plane myself. When you're sitting on it, you can hear it going through all of its motions on approach to the drop zone. First, it slows down and makes all kinds of noise. But you're okay with that. But then it makes all kinds of other damn noise, as if its speeding up. That's not the sound you want to hear when you're about to jump off of the damn thing!choirboy wrote: C-141 (I hate 'em.)

I'm jealous I never made a copy of my jump log. Wish I did, it'd be nice to be able to have on paper all of the jumps I had and the various birds in which I jumped out of.
