Basketball has nothing in common with being a qualified paratrooper. You just needed an excuse not to join and made this comparasion to avoid further questions. I played basketball myself before going in the military. Got sprained ankles, knees and bashed up tendons on a few fingers to boot. Yet these same injuries never interfered with me firing a weapon, communicating on a radio or humpin the boonies in days gone by. Excuses are necessary for those that can't or won't cut the mustard. It is a mental crutch to say the least you have given yourself. I think there is nothing for you here on this site and you should just keep on going until you find a place you can call home because this site is not for you.

Keep on moving kiddo, this site can never be your home. Your excuse is your home.

buh bye

For example: Paratrooper SkyShark and Ranger Bell

Not "Hey," "Yeah," or whatever.

Oh yeah, welcome...
