I wonder if one of them was the 203 gunner I slapped because his vest was still in his rucksack.
Perhaps they were some of the ones who performed a DAYLIGHT comabat parachute jump while I was eating Chicken A La King.
That being said..welcome.
Thank you for your welcome. As for our 203 gunner, I would say you were performing good leadership :D
Christmas day I just got home from work at a movie theater - the news was screaming about the 82nd taking off to jump into Panama (around midnight now) and you had just jumped in an hour later. I also thank you for kicking ass and taking names and returning on one piece!
All criticism of ineptitude on the part of a few, The men I served with in Cco were honorable Paratroopers and excellent mentors. The men and women who have and will work for me are better because of the Red Devils.
As for your comment about watching them jumping in the daylight, that wasn't my guys. Cco 1/504 dropped around 0200 at a distance of between 4-7k from the DZ. They assembled in a few hours and did an air assault on Tinajitas later that morning (TF BRAVO).
