Re: Put a Face to a Forum Member
Aye. Back in the 80's I was trained as a cannon Artilleryman to fight the Soviet Army. Now, two decades later, some of closer colleagues served in that Soviet Army, and I've been re-trained to defend against a very different enemy. If only I could just retire, get a big house with views of mountains, and settle down to enjoy family, photography, medals & orders, model trains, good books, and learn to make beer, wine, and hootch... Wouldn't life be grand?

Taken at my last static line jump. All jumps after this were free fall. White spot next to my right ankle is a twenty five foot diameter landing zone.

I'm a "Five Jump Chump" with five static-line jumps at 1200 feet courtesy of Uncle Sugar 22 years ago. It was a thrill, but I'm not inclined to do it again. The wings are cool, but all five times I hit the ground like a sack of sh_t.

Re: Put a Face to a Forum Member
Here is a photo of me during a visit to the Stones River National Battlefield Park. I've always had an interest in Civil War history, and last May my wife and I spent a few days exploring various historic sites from Civil War battlefields, Native American sites, and even the site of a former POW camp for German prisoners.
