Jump into Ft. Pickett, Va.
THEE best jump ever! It was a rare day jump T/CE. We had a small DZ so we had to do a couple passes. Our JM was Sgt. Kratzner from our plt. He stood me in the door of our bird "C-130" for the whole passing. It was f'n AWESOME!!! I don't remember now exactly how long the ride was before the green light came on. However it was my best Airborne experience. We "played" with the jarhead's who were there for that day "14 Oct" and the next day "15 Oct" and jumped back into Ft. Bragg that night. It was also the first AND only time that I had back to back jumps since jump school.
