Bump just moves a thread back to the top of the sub forum so it doesn’t get lost. POOf means he thought you hauled ass.

Since your new here some back story is Bubbas second or third post on the forum was to bust out a poser. The guy seemed legit and it caused some grief until Bubba was proven right. This was back when the forum was small and the thought of someone lying about being a Ranger hadn’t really occurred to any of the actual Rangers on the site. Now we have our vetting process and the questions that get sent out to all those that claim time in the Ranger Bats or Ranger School.

It sounds like you sent the answers back to Stead, they will check them and if you get the green light then you will get a full set of keys to the place. If your shit doesn’t check out you get the boot.

In RS class 3-92 they had high winds on the DZ (Ledo DZ) and some of the experienced jumpers were complaining on the DZ. Purdy came back to the PZ and was yelling about how big of pussies we were. He proceeds to put on a chute and jump. After the jump he came back with a huge limp, still telling everybody what pussies we were. That was an eye opener.

On my jump later that day, my 6th one, I landed in the trees with a sprained ankle. It also landed me as the 4th RTB CQ for a couple of days. There I got to listen to CSM Purdy a lot. He was able to mix in some great concise "how to train" advice with his "countries we should nuke" opinions. The Army back then needed more CSM Purdys.
To answer the question.

No Purdy and Ledo at two distinctly different pieces of terrain a significant distance apart. Purdy is a HLZ only and was named in honor of CSM Donald Purdy.
The way in which a man accepts his fate and all the suffering it entails, the way in which he takes up his cross, gives him ample opportunity – even under the most difficult circumstances – to add a deeper meaning to his life.
