Nothing like the times of Vietnam, but there are still some great young Americans raising their right hand for our country. I'm going to Ft Benning on Friday for my son-in-law's graduation from his 3 weeks of parachute training; he had a night jump last night. He's a 36 year-old Army Captain and a great young man with many other opportunities that didn't require this. I know my daughter and their two little boys will also be proud when he says, "Airborne!"
I'm sure several here have been through that training.
Last night in a text to his dad he said, "“Two jumps today. Two more tomorrow then done. On track for 11:00am Friday. This is kicking my ass but almost to the end…”
