Actually I believe one of those guys pinned my jump wings on when I graduated jump school. Class 8-87 "Chute to Kill"

Unfortunately, I was to young and stupid to appreciate the honor at the time. :nope:

Excellent!

I was with the 10th SFG(A) from 81 to 84. Before that I did a tour in a leg Infantry battalion stationed in Germany.

I'll ask them if they remember you.:hmm: :rotfl:

"Yeah I remember that kid. He's the one that wanted all the targets moved closer. He kept saying; before I jump, can I save?":oops: :rotfl:


Oh, I just bought my tickets!:up:

Lucky devil!:up: I just finished reading the book just the other day and I had seen the mini series when it came out.

Not many of them left now, and the number getting less as time goes on. Try and keep track of who shows up and any interseting stories they may tell.:yep:

nikimcbee 10-24-08 02:42 PM

Camera, check.
extra chips, batteries, check.
listening ears, check.
book to have signed, check.

4 hours to jump time.:up:

mission accomplished.:up: Let me get moved, then I'll post details. It wasn't quite what I'd thought it would be, but it was totally worth it.

There were lots of German and French jokes told. (By the dutch guy at our table) I won't repeat them here due to the fragile nature... nevermind.:cool:



I'll just say, it was great to shake the hands of true American heroes, and tell them thank-you.:up:
