Para drop!

Post by joseyclosey » Sat Jul 09, 2005 1:31 pm

We just got to to the range this morning when this Hercules flew in and dropped a stick of paras on the other side of the valley, i got these few pics, bit to far away, but i thought they were worth posting.

Saw a CF Scareborne drop into CFB Borden one time. More than 7 jumpers, as I recall. Daft bunch they were. One of 'em, a Jr NCO as I recall said some silly young buck thing about one of my female cadets. I told him about how it's not the clanging of the cell door. It's the whiz when they throw the keys away. Not really a bad bunch of guys, but evidently, their leaders were poor. Mind you, he was right about my cadet. Cute as hell, thin, blue eyed, blond with very long legs. She'd be late 30 something now.

The officers were worse. Rolled into the Mess one Friday evening after the Scareborne officers had been in for a TGIF. Broken glass everywhere in the bar. Finish their drink and pitch the glass over their shoulder. There was a fireplace in the lounge with a big mirror over it. About 15 yards from the door. Drink the liqueur and throw the glass at the fireplace. Yep, they busted the mirror.

One twit stayed behind and in the course of a conversation I didn't hear said something to or about my CO's wife. I had to cool the assorted jets before my black belt CO killed the guy. It was long before our idiot government used Somalia as an excuse to disband the Regm't., so the bad luck got them some other way. Likely in their wallets.
Spelling and grammar always count.
