I was there for jump school in the early 80’s.

Good times.

I was there in 1971 and loved it. My favorite post.

I was there for the same in 11/76. One of the most gratifying moments of my life was walking off the drop zone under my own power after the fifth jump...lol.

About 40 years later, I was at Four Corners NM, talking with a Navajo silversmith named Joe Begay. He was a Green Beret during Vietnam, and one of his uncles was an original Codetalker. We both went through Jump School at Benning.

We must have spent an hour rehashing memories, it was probably the last time my youngest son (now 16), would look at me with great respect.
