A Promise Kept

Recommended Posts

I am humbly here to say:

Welcome Home Max!

Welcome to the Screaming Eagles Parachute Demonstration Team!

I am happily handing off my rig to you and step aside to watch you go forth and do well!

Please all, join me in saying good luck and best wishes to SPC Max ("Gawain" here) Ramsey, of the 2007 Screaming Eagles PDT.

(We already had him assisting in a FJC today B|)

Congrats, Max! Can we assume the media frenzy will be forthcoming? ;)

Technically NO. He got accepted prior to deploying but deployed before his attachment was complete.

But buy the Beer rules we have and as ruled by the Team S&TA YES!

And next week will be his FIRST C-130 and UH-60 jumps. He and 2 other new fellows.

Aspirin, I will need aspirin next week.:P

The media frenzy will rival the ages...;)

I've informed the team that beer debts will be el-cheapo because I don't drink...Schlitz or Milwaukee Mud forthcoming...:P:D:D
So I try and I scream and I beg and I sigh
Just to prove I'm alive, and it's alright
'Cause tonight there's a way I'll make light of my treacherous life
Make light!

Max made his two C-130 blasts today!
All is right in our world now.

Max do you need a lift to the Class-6?;)

Matt



I don't think they sell the kind of class stuff I'm willing to fork out for the team...do they still make Schaeffer beer? :);)

No sh*t, C-130s are quite cool to jump out of. Now we just need to bump our altimeters up a bit...say 13-grand? B|

Free and Cold, only two rules that matter when it comes to THE RULE.



And that right there, ladies and gentlemen, is an incontrovertible sign of the Decline and Fall of the American Empire.

When a country's defenders are willing to drink Budweiser to mark a special occasion, you know their heart's not in it. Can you imagine a drinker of Bud Lite marching through the trackless jungle for weeks at a time, surviving on earthworms, grubs and rainwater, and still accomplishing his mission? No, a drinker of Bud is the kind of soldier that's lost without his Humvee, mobile canteen, and three square meals a day.

Stand up for yourself! Stand up for your country! Make the man buy you proper beer!

I am old and getting soft I do suppose. Beer in the proper quantity regardless of quality will do the job.;)

But from that side of the Pond should it not be an Ale?B|

Okay, so, let's review the massive quantities that have compiled in only the past week:

First jump with the team last week -- check
First jumping amputee with the team -- check
First jump out of a C-130 -- check
First jump at DZ Corrigedor -- check
First jump at Skydive Alabama -- check
First jump with a 7-cell F-111 StarTrac 1 (the size of Kansas) -- check
First jump out of a UH-60 Blackhawk today -- check
First jump at the division parade field -- check

Anything I've missed? :P

Hope the weather is better tomorrow. It would be fun to make to altitude in the UH-60...B|

I guess this could be a sign to investors to buy into Anheuser Busch...:S:P

I was thinking with Vern jumping with us it would raise the point average greatly!
Even more so when I run dirt!:P

Did the suits come in yesterday?

This moving thing is ruff on the lower back and stamina.
