Robert, I did enjoy my jumps in the 82nd, fun, yes, but full combat PLF's weren't my idea of "fun". Thank you for the replies, I admit i have much to learn. Kate, do you mean Raeford, as in North Carolina? I used to be stationed at Fort Bragg, but now I am in Lexington NC. I am not to sure about the location of Raeford. Hopefully within the next few months, I can be there to join you.
