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).

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.
