It's a metal container like a connex or sorts... called the "Pod". It is like a normal tailgate jump, only you can't see out. Not a big deal... but, it is cool to be able to say that I jumped one. 8)

49 + 1, with 50 being Rio Hato. I had 4 months left when we got back, and I worked hard to have Panama be my last. :lol:

Luckily for me I am a proud bearer of the torch, so I volunteered for any and every DZSNCO mission I could find, probably did 3 or 4 before I got out. That was actually a good time.

Something around 75. Never went to JM course because I had so many squad leaders with over 100 jumps that I didn't want to be one of those Lieutenants that bogarted the quota.
