Gotta love the draftWhen we got out my two roomies & I were all vets, Navy, Airforce, Army, We'd P.U. the Pilot on the way to the DZ and have a hard core friend meet us at he DZ.First Cessna load most of the time. There was also a guy jumping with us who had been in the marines. Of course he still polished his boots so once a marine always a marine is trueR.I.P.
