bmoore21184 0 #76 February 12, 2004 I am at the Air Force Academy so I will be getting down and dirty in the real air force in 840 days! That Lt. pay will make going to the drop zone a little easier on the pocket book (or so i hope). B Moore 'Turbulence is a bitch' Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SlyFox 0 #83 February 12, 2004 Cool. When I first got to group there was one Scuba team and one HALO team per company and then the cuts started. They switched it to one of each per Battalion. Do you know when they switched it back? I retired in 2000. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?

SlyFox 0 #84 February 12, 2004 We may have ran into one another at some point then. I was in F Co 1/1 SWTG 98-99 and B Co 1/1 SWTG from 99-00.

Guest #87 February 12, 2004 Jack, I knew a guy who got out on AFR 35-11 deliberately. He was quite the porker (he began stuffing himself after he was warned about his weight), but happy to get out on a medical. mh"The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."
