Oh really??? They had stopped using them when I went thru in 1992, and was told they were never going to use them as training tools again. That sucks, I got jipped!
So you actually jumped the towers?

I went through in 92 also. I think the reason we didn't jump them is they were being rebuilt during that time. I do remember the Black hats saying that they should get rid of them though. There was talk about it but old traditions die hard.

To my dear Steve Orino,
I'm sorry you took my comment about having to walk what seemed like a mile across a DZ with heavy gear as a complaint. Quite the contrary. It was moments such as those that made Airborne school all the more memorable. And if you think that perhaps a female can't be up to par with the "elite" leaders of today's Army, you are talking to the wrong person. I can run faster than most males(12:19 2 mile), did all my pull ups without assistance, and am now flying the Army's most technologically advanced attack helicopter, the AH-64D Apache.

Ma'am, That is all very impressive. But you still don't leave the ground without my permission! 15 Papa!

When I went thru jump shcool my company jumped the towers and that was in 97, the only reason some didn't was because the engines that pull you up overheat.
Good louck in all your training, maybe I run into you here in HOT Afghanistan where the sky is for the most part blue .
