If I could I would go back in a heart beat.

Jumping here is definitely different and we even jumped into high mountain DZ’s and in Fairbanks (YTA) and DTA (Delta Junction). Alaska is the coolest place I was stationed and even elected to ETS before indef because I was being forced to leave the 509th after 3 deployments with both battalions.
