42nd Company - July 1980

I went to MMF school too - twice ;)

No, I didn't fail - the school was closed for a couple of months because the parachutes were deadlined while I was there. The 2nd time was much better, we went to Las Vegas for the wind tunnel (thanks Bubba).

i thought HALO was spelled MFF...? but then again, i was a cradle-to-retirement rope jumper and square-toed yodler...

We called it "Jump School", early 60's. I still remember buying my first pair of "Corcoran, jump boots"!

You ought to post up a pic of those "Corcorans", I'd like to see them. I had to lie about my boot size to keep from being issued a cpuple pair of brown boots.

I also took basic with the M-1 Garand, and was assigned a BAR. That is one heavy, awkward, SOB!

Me too, but August 1965. Remember having to have these damn pictures taken. They threw a rig on you the first day of ground week and none of us knew which what was what. They kept on telling us to smile and the only thing I wanted to say was get bent and let's get on with it.

Very cool picture, Colonel.

Beats me why you guys want to jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Must be an acquired taste. :D
