Lets see if I cant screw this up again...

I have not seen bonedigger since he left Bn to go to OCS. I think that was after Foster went to OCS. I guess I am gonna have to buy a new scanner and start posting pics.

Rangers.......Thank You. It is GD good to be among people of our ilk. I have already linked up with some old buddies. Keep those card and letters coming in. Maybe I can find the Team. I'm still looking for the Jareen Generals son I had to ween. And where are the pair of brothers???? How about that old hippie anthropolgist "Mr Stones & fuckin Bones" I have to contact some others to get on here.

I ran across something on another board several months ago that said Trundy retired as a MSG. I'll never forget when he wound up as a hung jumper and the JM kept putting guys out the door. He was a PFC at the time. I think the second or third guy that hit him finally broke him loose. Thank GRITS his parachute deployed, because I think he was out cold and couldn't have pulled the reserve. Since he wasn't seriously hurt, we put Trundy back on a bird the next day and made him jump.

For the life of me I can't remember the name of the guy that busted up his knee on Trundy's helmet when he broke him loose, but he wound up getting medically released to the 24th ID. I wound up having to send him to a court martial about a year later over there for dealing drugs. He got 2 years in the big house. Just a bad deal all around.

I remember that also. I can't recall the DZ though.. Didn't SSG L.... have his reserve chute deploy in a bird and get pulled though the keyhole...? I think i fucked up his shoulder big time. Yeah, I still think about Cook putting us out over the fucking pines in a Huey one night also, yeah no shit I crossed my legs.....

I think it was Rock DZ on Hunter AAF. SSG L--- did have his reserve chute deploy in the door. I think that was just as I was in ROP. The stuff of legend. I've heard the story told that he busted up his head on the rear door frame, had a steel plate in there, and that it was Chaplain Gi----l that caught him on the way down. I don't know the whole truth on it. Doesn't matter. Us FOGs are allowed to embellish.

Welcome Ranger. Now that you have found the primary PB give your Ranger buddies the grid.

You guys are confuzed. Old bastards, I swear..

When Trundy was towed it was the jump back into Rock after the platoon trip to Florida. Trundy was not cut away, he was pulled back into the aircraft. I thought he was dead by the way his head rolled around when they got him back in. He was just out cold and bruised up. I was airlanding because I was on crutches, I screwed my ankle up on the jump into Eglin.

He was towed due to his lowering line comming loose and wrapping around the deployment bag. It was really bizarre.

I could have sworn that the third guy out knocked him loose. At least that was the story. I didn't see it, cause I went out before he did. Isn't the jump into Florida where Fulkerson shattered his ankle?

[FIST TEAM LTR]

I think so. I remember he was so fucking drunk one night I watched him bust his ass in the hallway on those crutches. He was a Tennessee sauce monster.

The third guy knocked him out...

It wasn't Florida, I had to pick what seemed to be the only stump on the dz to land. I was the only one carted off the dz. He broke his very soon after that.

I almost knock the fucker out. He got kinda lippy after a half bottle.
