Glad to find the site. Went to jump school in 1979 (44th Company) and my 1st jump was a C-123! 2nd was a C141. Didn't jump a C-130 until Bragg in the Q Course. 10th Group Jumpmaster School in 1984, and Master Wings awarded in 1988.

Same with me. We had 4xC-119 and 1xC-141 jumps in the BAC. Our first C-130 jump was for MC-1 'slip risers' transition training during MOI prior to jumping into Mackall for Phase 1.Originally Posted by beretverde

Hello.
There was of course no way of knowing whether you were being watched at any given moment. How often, or on what system, the Thought Police plugged in on any individual wire was guesswork. It was even conceivable that they watched everybody all the time. But at any rate they could plug in your wire whenever they wanted to. You had to live -- did live, from habit that became instinct -- in the assumption that every sound you made was overheard, and, except in darkness, every movement scrutinized. E. A. Blair

Welcome to our AO. Thanks for your service.
I need to ask you to tighten your shot group.
Here is what we are looking for:
Step One: Post a satisfactory introduction in the “Introductions” forum. At a minimum, your introduction thread should tell the community:
· The dates you served.
· Where and when you went to basic training, AIT and (if applicable), jump school.
· Which units you served with.
· Any schools you attended, or combat you participated in.
