Loving the deadly seriousness juxtaposed with sartorial elegance ( rocking the skinny tie )

Two mags taped together, too

Why would anyone ever complain about seating on a commercial plane?

This is how I flew over 100 times in 8 years. Only with parachutes and many times with full combat equipment, an 80 lb. pack on my lap and the guy's across from me on top of that and a weapons container strapped to my side.

And, you had to hold your pee, cause you didn't want to move.

But would you pay for the privilege of flying like that

Especially ifyou knew E6s (bidness class) and up were being given twice as much space, further reducing seating space in 'steerage'

'No Country for Old Men', I guess

It just gives you perspective.

That was not the worst of it. Jumping with the Infantry wasn't bad, but I put in over a year with the MI support group (most of them hated jumping and only did to maintain status) puke was the order of the day and I just wanted to get out into the fresh air!

I was an E6 for my last couple of years (still MI but back with my beloved Infantry) the only time an NCO or Officer got any extra space is when we were the jump master or non jumping safety.

Imagine that same picture with rucksacks stacked on laps to eye level and the guy walking with a ripcord chute, stopping on top checking your equipment, turning and checking the guy's across from you and then moving on to the next pair.

Some of that was very realistic, but nothing more than the Platoon leader at the end.

Yeah, I pretty much knew I was stretching the metaphor too far

And if the people in bidness class had as much control over us as a sergeant would, life would really suck

Ah the dreaded Cooties. Brings back memories from 47 years ago in first grade.
Us boys even put a CP on the back of our hands with ink pen to keep us safe from the girls.
The CP (Cootie Protection) mark was strong and couldn't be defeated.

Seems, despite being shaken up, the gel was able to repel the attack from the 9mm. Good thing for the gel it wasn't a 45.
