Just a quick funny story...Class 02-08 jumping into Darby, the entire first pass which included the battatlion CDR and CSM ended up in the trees...Luckily I was on the 2nd pass and hit dead center of the freshly plowed DZ...No body got med dropped suprisingly...

Won’t be the first time won’t be the last, one of the helos is my class got put out somewhere between Arkman and RTB, seem the jumpmaster heard execute execute execute and didn’t bother to look out the bird and just started pushing people out. Seems about 4 or so went out but there was a bat boy on there who held on because he at least could see that there was no DZ below
