I'm damned proud of you Weidert, you fucking paratrooper. I wish you the best of luck in recovering and driving on to complete the mission. Of course, after you graduate RIP, the real adventure begins.
Now, what about all the other people on here that are using YOUR avatar? Just going to let that slide, eh?

Good Job Weidert, stay off your foot as much as possible. Foot injuries are slow healing you might want to try a Dr. Scholls foot insert to support your arch that will speed the healing process. Have a good time celebrating your grad from Jump School. Remember this is a series of growth sessions for you each objective you have passed, continue on until you have completed "Your Primary Objective".
Good luck to you young PARATROOPER!

Congratulations young Paratrooper. This is great news. Don't listen to Spartan about your Avatar, you are now eligible to select your own avatar Soldier. Heal up, now is the time to check out what is wrong with your foot so you can gain max. time for it to heal. Keeps us informed Weidert. Good Sitrep. Enjoy your holidays with your relatives. Let the legs in your neighborhood see what a Paratrooper looks like.

Congratulations, Paratrooper Weirdart! Finishing Airborne is a great accomplishiment! Wear those wings with pride.
You are just behind my son. He finished Airborne the week before Thanksgiving. There's a look in his eye that wasn't there before. His favorite part -outside of the rush out the door- was the feeling of having nothing around him as he hung in the air.
I can't speak for your mom, but if it was me, I'd think that a night of caffeine and gaming would be a great way to celebrate!

Jump week was fucking awesome, I had 2 hard landings but other than that it was the next best thing to sex without a doubt. When that door opens and you're just sucked out of the plane it's like nothing I've ever experienced.
Congrats on abn school. You need to get your frickin foot looked at, why not now????
BTW, the easiest landings you will EVER have are at airborne school.....plowed field, pillow ruck......
Good luck!!
I graduated airborne school about the same time....back then the DS buildup was going on, so they put us through an "accelerated" RIP.....no days off (except Christmas) and no jump week.
