I don't see a Supers thread yet so I guess I'll post this here for our Sunshine state brethren @Gatorubet @gatormarc. Have to root for some underdog and y'all have some orange in your colors too, so go Gata. Who knows? After name dropping last time and getting him a big raise by Perrin, maybe CDC tries to steal your coach !!! (I keed, I keed)

Very cool... Not to derail the thread, but I was in Germany in the spring of '84 for a few weeks and got to fly into Tempelhof in Berlin to do a DZ survey for the airshow jump that was to be done there in West Berlin the following first week of May. It was to celebrate the 40th anniversary of the end of the war. I was replaced in Germany a few days before the airshow, so I didn't get to jump in, but just getting to fly into Tempelhof (and flying over the wall) was a pretty big deal to a WWII history buff like myself. Hats off to ALL of the Greatest Generation. They truly saved the world.

I had gotten out of the service, but these were friends and teammates I served with. They were stationed at Rhein Main in the early 90’s and got to be part of the American service members that participated in one of the reenactment jumps at the Normandy drop zones in 1994. (one of them reposted this pic of them on his FB page 20 years later in 2014) Taken from the DZ after landing. [emoji631][emoji2527][emoji632][emoji1063]

I really liked Stephen Ambrose' D-Day Of course Cornelius Ryan The Longest Day, also... Every Man a Hero by Ray Lambert ( he and his brother both wounded that morning in the first waves) Alex Kershaw's ... The First Wave Can't go wrong with any of these IMO. shoot! forgot the one posted above 👆The Bedford Boys also by Kershaw.... very sobering.

The WWIIDT fly their own or use others over there in Europe for the jumps they do for the bigger years....40,50th, 75th, 80th etc... https://wwiiadt.org/

That is a great book...Small town in West Virginia. Truly shows the sacrifices made during the war. National Guard troops that were in the first wave on Omaha... hardly a family in town came away unscathed Jake McNiece and his demo squad. The movie The Dirty Dozen was based off him and his "Filthy Thirteen" They suffered such heavy casualties in Normandy and Holland that him and few others decided to join the Pathfinder units thinking they wouldn't be used again and could stay out of more combat. Nope, with troops surrounded in Bastogne, McNiece and his Pathfinders jumped in and then set up the Eureka beacons for follow on drops that gave the 101st, bullets, food, and medical supplies. csb//? the unit I served with is a direct descendant from that team and the other Pathfinder units that dropped into Normandy, Holland, and Operation Varsity (the drop into Germany just across the Rhine) In BOB, showing the jump into Holland, a replacement struggled to get out of his harness, fumbling with the quick release. Bull opened it for him. This quick release was put into the harness after the Airborne found out with their AAR after Normandy that many of the troops drowned in very shallow water (Rommel had flooded the marshes and areas thought to be used as drop zones and landing zones for the gliders) Many of those troops drowned due to the weigh of the equipment they had and with no quick release on their harnesses, they were unable to get out of their gear or even stand up in the shallow marshes. Those quick releases (maybe updated slightly) were still in use 38 yrs later when I went to jump school. I weighed about 150-155 lbs while in and the heaviest ruck (equipment pack) I jumped weighed in at right around 110 lbs. Like Toye said in BOB, I still had my chute, reserve chute, weapon and LBE to add in, so everything total was at least my body weight (or more!) getting up and out the door. Good times! 🤣

Got punched in the face early. But too many mistakes throughout the game. Get em tomorrow hopefully. 🤘 (on another note...what does that stadium hold? Pretty BS they get to play every year they go in front of a crowd that has to be 90% oU fans)

That's all the Florida LF needed to do the other day.... ( just a little jump)

Reese has had a pretty shitty game...

Beat me too it. Going from OKST to there?...One thing and one thing only.
