I'm off to jump school, then unless things change, I'll be going to the 10th at Ft. Carson.

Support only, but I'll at least be near my parents and more importantly near my 94 year old grandmother whose health has been struggling.

Congrats, Timothy. I went back in April/May '87 but never graduated because I broke my foot on my 3rd jump and was dropped.

We had a CSM in my stick whom I guarantee motivated a bunch of young guys (like me) not to fall out of a run "if THAT huffin' & puffin' old fart can do it then *I* can!" The funny thing is, 10 years later SGT Smith (me) was the old guy motivating youngsters to keep running - I was NOT huffin' & puffin', though! (28 is getting pretty old in the army LOL)

Congrats Timothy. May you have many safe soft PLFs. Say hello to the Black Hats for me.

Is this Army or Marine jump school? My friend was slated to go to jump school for the Army this month, but they cancelled the class because there was lack of funding so he has to wait until the fiscal year starts again.

Hey, cool! Wasn't it you with the bad leg keeping you out of the Army in the first place? And now you get to jump from aircraft? Quite a journey you made there.
