Hi, Ma!

Did several trips to Pope AFB and Bragg through Active and Reserve exercises and time with the Air Force.

Mostly with C-130s and Snake Eaters jumping out of perfectly good airplanes. Though one time in the 1980s. A C-130 tried to LAPES (Low Altitude Parachute Extraction System)a Sheridan Fast Recon Vehicle (A light aluminum tank with a big honking cannon) that was released high and tumbled on its Cargo Pallet into a pile of very expensive, unmanned junk.

Bragg is surprisingly large and incredibly well maintained. With LOTS of sand boxes and secluded exercise areas. Since SOCOM gets a large chunk of DoD/Army budget.

Jack.
