I just went outside and it's cold and raining
Florida life.
80 is usual fall temp.
At least it's not almost 100 anymore.
Someone link me to the video to Big Iron but it's about the Christ Church clappage
I can link you another video
What the hell
Okay YouTube broke for a second, I copied the link for for the German song and it brought some D&D shit?
I found out why air Assault is harder.
Why brother
The strictness, a single failure on a mechanical check can get you sent out of air assault school.
Yes
It’s book smart harder
But we’re not here for no books

I also found out, that earning your jump badge, and being jump ready, does not mean you are a paratrooper, you have to be put into the 82nd.
82nd baby
You can't simply finish school and immediately go in.
I would love be air borne if I wasn’t such a pussy about heights
That would be an issue, it isn't a debilitating fear, but it would distract me so much.
What’s funny is that my dad said a lot of marines going through jump school were whinny little babies about having to jump. They were really scared
Same
I could do it if need be, but my heart would be pounding out of my chest the entire time
Because if you don't hand off correctly when bailing out, you could rip the guy behind you's arm off, and if you don't do it right, you could land on top of another man's parachute, ensuring both of your deaths.
Yeah
At the same time though, many people in ww2, even the toughest would say they’d go on “walks” before a jump but really they were shitting their brains out some where
5 successful jumps are required to get your badge, and then you have to do one jump a month to stay jump qualified.
Ye
But a lot of soldiers in WW2 didnt even do their 5 jumps before going in
One colonel, can’t remember his name did his 5th jump into Normandy lol
Soldiers getting stuck in trees and shit was a serious issue.
Like that accident a month ago, several airborne died during an exercise, because the wind blew them off course.
Yeah it causes a lot of deaths. That’s what’s really sad
“The army doesnt make mistakes”
How the fuck did they not notice it was super windy
