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.
Political tags - such as royalist, communist, democrat, populist, fascist, liberal, conservative, and so forth - are never basic criteria. The human race divides politically into those who want people to be controlled and those who have no such desire. ~ R. A Heinlein

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.
