| Optio | Post; Airborne Op Pictures From 06/14/05Here are a few of the pictures. If you want to see them all, then head here. Below are the pictures with an explanation. This is me sitting in the Black Hawk, waiting to lift off from Normandy Drop Zone. I'm in the center of course. To my left is SSG Willis. I don't know the guy to my right.  Here is a picture to crew cheif took of me exciting the Black Hawk at 2300 feet Above Ground Level (AGL). You can the guy's feet next to me. lol  This is another picture the crew cheif took. The picture immediately following this one is the same, just me circled in a thin red line.   This is me and Jack Richards. His truck was hit with an IED in Iraq. He received the Purple Heart and is still undergoing surgeries on his left leg.  This is me and Chris Park hanging out waiting to load for our first jump. I'm in the center with my ballastic helmet under my right arm for those who don't know what I look like right off hand.  Now, the following are a few pictures I took on the way down during my first jump from 1500 feet AGL.      The following pictures are a few I took from inside the Black Hawk while I watched my 1SG jump. I didn't jump on this bird, just observed.    My 1SG exiting at 1500 feet AGL.  Well, I posted most of them, but on that link are a few more of the helicopters and other stuff. Hope you enjoyed!

| Centurion | That's very impressiv. I wish I had the possibility of jumping, too. One of my sergants once said to me that it is better that way, because only crazy people jump out of a vehicle that is not broken
