Legend says when they told everyone to fall out for airborne refresher, home slice just followed along, figured it was all part of the course.

If that damn story ain't true, it ought to be!
1SG Lane told a story of when he was an RI at Mountains. they had an African officer that didn't speak a lick of English. He went through pre-jump, rig, etc. they tailgated a 47. got the guy up, threw him out, 1SG Lane said last he saw this guy, he was trying to climb back up his static line. came to find out he was a leg and got a tab and jump wings when he left.
