#1 Looked to be a full mission profile with the heavy drop (jeeps/arty) then the mass tactical jump w/combat equipment. Great job 82nd.

#3 Even at my age, if I were offered a chance to jump one more time (Hollywood or Combat Equipment), I'd get vaccinated immediately.

#4 ^^^! Right there w/you. I only had a couple dozen jumps and most were water/nigh jumps (pissed my pants and closed my eyes..). I'd strap on a MC-1C and go out the door today if I could though.
