Here 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.

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.

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.

Well, I posted most of them, but on that link are a few more of the helicopters and other stuff.

Hope you enjoyed!
 
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 ;)
