Any airborne out there?

00-03 in C co, 2-319 AFAR(13B). Went by there last year and where it was(across from Towel Stadium) is now the infantry parking lot. Crazy! I got smart and went aviation...for all those looking to reclass.
Headed to 173rd next month in Germany. Can't wait to jump again, hoping to try the new T-11

Not to sure if you will be coming to Germany. You will probably go to Italy.

I guess the riggers of the 173rd will find out when we get back how hard they are to pack. Last I was tracking the big army put a stop on jumping the T11 after the last 2 issues at Bragg.

I think its turned back on. I could be mistaken.

Well as a parachute rigger. I will have to defend them. Yes, they seem to have a huge drug problem. But I still believe if you tested any other mos as much as riggers get tested. You would find the percentage about the same.

Most rigger units are drug tested 1-2 a month. But I have seen it 2-3 times as well.

Hard to defend them though when we do have so many people that are idiots.

Oh well one day I will realize this job sucks and move on.

I wasn't dogging you guys, I sure as shit don't want your job. A lot of infantry guys say they hate their MOS, I'd like to see them go there. They'd come running back

T11 is back up and running btw

 

[AlanSVT]

no worries I dog my own MOS. We have some real winners. But I am sure all MOS's are like that.

Indeed!
