Glad to know you don't do anything exciting!
Never could figure out why someone would jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Heck, they had to make me jump of out a perfectly good helicopter! and people were shooting down there! What were they thinking?
Anybody in the Airborne is OK with anyone here, that's for sure. As an old platoon sergeant, let me say how good it is to see a mustang in charge of the troopies. I'm sure your own platoon sergeant is happy as well.
We'll be looking forward to hearing more from you in the future.
