250' Tower

**Ltdan** · 03-16-2007, 09:39 AM

I am currently looking at the 250 ft towers as I write this e-mail.
The towers are what I see every day out of my office window here at Benning. See guys get hung up all the time. I often wonder how they feel, knowing that after they get hung up, they have to do it again.

Who knows about the towers construction?
Is it built of common parts?
Or, are parts special ordered for them?
I guess I'm asking...will there come a time when they can't be repaired anymore?

I got to ride the 250' tower. It was pretty cool. No one ended up in the tower, but we did have a guy PLF off one of the vans. Sept-Oct 05

Some make it through. Most, though, wind up on the truck at the end of ground week because they couldn't make the run.

Roger, Lets find that truck........

With all the backseat drivers the truck has never been seen again......by now tho, they all should be blaming the driver for not stopping to ask directions.

**ShortBusDriver82** · 03-30-2007, 04:58 PM

That's because they're always complaining to the driver to pull over to pee...

One of these days we have GOT to get ourselves somebody is either a current or former Black Hat and have them explain why so many Paratroopers never got to enjoy the 250 Foot Tower.
