Tommy went on to a lot more than that little mission, and I'm sure he probably don't even remember it. I slammed him pretty hard, and he turned and shot me a look that made me go white. I started thinking fuck , what I do..started yelling something like "fuck ya, we're going in first..and I'm getting to that fucking door",, Ranger Wilburn got a sick look, and said something like "get the fuck by me and get up there". It was pretty cool.Mooch wrote:You see I knew I was right when I posted that you were Carpenter's static line safety. PAC Man PM'ed me that you were his! Sorry for the screw-up.
PS Has Wilburn ever forgiven you for mashing him up against the side of the A/C while you were trying to get back to the door?
As far as John in the other door, I was staring at the "red light", and heard his static line clank and turned to look over my left shoulder at the right door, we had just crossed the beach, I looked back and the light was green and the CSM was slapping my shoulder and jumped. I know it's been a while, but I believe he told me his actions were deliberate, good for him. I didn't know until I was on the runway that the bird was being shot at.
