Whohoo

Welcome to the boards, i don't have the time i used to have to come here, but it's nice to have some old stomping buddies on the boards.

We did staggering. L/R but it was only controlled by the inital jumper if the right side sped up then it could catch the left side easily. Ya trust me the regular army doesnt' need any control over thier decent. I was FORTUNATE enough i say that real lightly to spend my last year in the Army at ever...

Yeah i thought that spinning dude was funny as hell too. That is why you get twist in your shit huh? I must have had a pretty good exit becuase in 40 jumps i only had twists 2 times. It's pretty cool also to see the JM struggle when those dudes get all bunched up too. I would have got smacked on the...

Pantel good to see that you are still around. I'll have Medure get on here and talk to you. We are practically neighbors now. I was starting to get worried about you, since you thought you may be leaving.

Hey did Dave Nielson become Rip Cadre?

The funny thing is that most of the people that still know me still call me Happy. People proabably know me better as Happy than my real name. So weird how that shit works out.

Even as i was being taught the Gracie style i had the same questions. The ground fighting seemed very rediculas to me also. As i began to ponder on it more. I started to wonder why they would teach us this. The reasons i came up with where there is no fair fighting in combat. It's not like we are go...

Yeah they came for like 2 years i think they started going to the other Bat's too. We where doing that SF stuff too until they (Gracies) showed up to batt.

Hey salt how did you get your nickname is a batt nickename? I got my nickname "happy" from batt. I always had this dumb private smile on my face no matter how bad the shit we where doing got. So someone called me happy jokingly because the new Adam Sandler movie "Happy Gilmore" w...

The Gracies where there every year at least almost the whole time i was in 2nd Batt. The disemination of information from them was excellent. Overall great training. We learned so much the guys that went to class with them took such good notes that by the time we finished learning stuff from one tim...

LMFAO That was great Spartan.

I think my rip class finished with 20-30 peeps out of like 80. I know the 1st day of rip the 1sg came out to formation after pt and asked who wanted to quit now and a shitload of people raised thier hands. Too Young is correct half of the 20 that ran over with me from airborne school quit as soon as...

I know it's wierd about all the quitters. My class started with like 80 kids. The cadre came over to get my company from airborne school (C CO) I think there where like 20 of us. We ran from airborne school to the Ranger Compound. We walk into the gates and they give us the general don't go here don...

I noticed that the Marines are starting to use thier new BDU's. (cami's whatever they call em). The Army has been whearing this pattern for how long now. Over 20 years right. Any one know if the army is also looking into changing thier pattern of the BDU's. Or are they still looking into the double ...

I think that is the main reason to keep us from tangleing up. I also think speed of decent is another big reason. Don't the square chutes have a slower rate of decent. Sorry but if i'm jumping into combat the last thing i wanna be is defenseless for an extended period of time.

My ranger buddy is in the 173rd. After getting screwed over by the system after trying to come back to regiment after his ETS. (that's another story for another day) Anyway, another friend of mine talked to him on yahoo the other day i know that he jumped into Iraq. I don't know if it was for the go...
