Just wait until you do it at night, with a few hundred people, on a tarmac, with a real ruck and weapon while trying not to trip over the cargo straps in the A/C, in a real blacked out A/C thats bucking around like it about to fall out of the sky.
Welcome to the Airborne.

Both the C-119 and C-141 are out of the system. We are getting old. At least I admit it.Steadfast wrote:What 141, don't you mean C-119?BadMuther wrote: Thinking the whole time that the 141 is coming straight at you!!!

I still miss the 141. Call me a jackass, but I actually liked jumping it. It ranks right behind the C-17 with me.

Tomorrow will be a really fun day for you. Enjoy every minute of it.XCrunner wrote:Rangers,
Got my last two jumps in last night, I'm now officially a 5 jump chump. :D
My class graduates tomorrow afternoon, pickup for RIP will immediately follow. No word on whether or not I'll get any holdover, but either way I'm determined to see this through! Talk is cheap, especially over the internet, so I'll do what I've got to do, and with a lot of determination I'll be reporting back with good news. Thanks for all the advice, it's all on me now.
Congrats Airborne!

Re: All checked in to Airborne School!
Congratulations Airborne! Now go get that RIP thing done. Remember, keep up the positive attitude, physically give it your 110% and then some, study hard, look out for your buddies, and don't quit. It's going to go by faster than jump school and before you know it you'll have the Ranger tan beret. If you think graduating from jump school feels good, wait until you graduate from RIP.

Re: All checked in to Airborne School!
Good going, Airborne! Now the easy and fun part is over and the hard and more fun part begins. You are ready, you just have to do it.
