Having just made his offering at the spirit house Dan anxiously waits to see if a keg of beer and female paratroopers will drop out of the incoming C-130.
CLEAR TO DROP BABY!

federico,
where's your pic???

Federico · 7th December 2004, 06:31 PM

Last time round, I just posted the only pic I had on file, which was one I had of my son and I at my dad's funeral. This time round, I want to actually do a theme pic, and was waiting on some stuff to arrive to make it work. Now I just gotta wait for the sun to come out, and itll be up soon. So be afraid...be very very afraid

Hey! Aren't you the guy who put us in the trees on the back side of the Khao Cha Mao Mountains back on Cobra Gold '95?

G-D@#%$ door bundle ended up upside down in a khlong.

Salvaged most of the gear but the TP was a mess.

We were very "tactical" that night.

Radu Transylvanicus · 17th February 2005, 03:33 PM

Back to the Ice Age ... Me and my brother in one of his mountaineering/ski patrol trips last week in Transylvanian Alps, jackassing around with Icicle Age mass destruction weapons ...

Rick · 17th February 2005, 03:36 PM

I thought the stake had to be made of wood .

Radu Transylvanicus · 17th February 2005, 03:41 PM

We were using dummies, my sibling would never threaten me with real hickory, way to dangerous and the light was fake too ...

Rick · 17th February 2005, 03:45 PM

DA,
Sorry can't take credit for that, was in Korea at the time, had you said Cobra Gold 85,86,87,88,89,91,92,93 it might have been me. But now I'm intriqued!Are, or were, you a fellow "brother in arms". The fact that you were concerned about the TP is a comment only a GI would make

DAHenkel · 23rd February 2005, 04:41 PM

Well "Brother in Arms" might not be the term exactly. In a former life, I was one of those geeks with the loudspeakers and leaflets in the 4th PSYOP Group(Abn) out of Fort Bragg. They did let me play "soldier" every once in a while though.

Even gave me a real A-2 to play with

In '95 I was attached to an ODA from 1st Group for the UW component of the exercise. Which was a blast except the bastards stuck me with a bunch of spare radio gear, det-chord and C-4. That s**t is heavy

The night insertion off the tailgate of a 130H onto a postage stamp of a DZ is an experience I wouldn't trade for the world though. Of course it was a complete cluster you know what but all the more memorable for it. And it turns out it wasn't the jump master's fault we missed the DZ actually.

The Thais got the word to steer towards the lights and made it in just fine but somehow that got translated into English as "follow the door bundle".

Did I mention the door bundle ended up in a khlong? (That's a big water filled irrigation ditch for all you non-Thai speakers).

Well, all the Green Beanies and the poor little psyop guy missed the DZ too.

Much screaming, cussing and showing of white lights ensued and the G's had to bring up a pickup truck to haul the door bundle out. (I bet the riggers were not very pleased with the condition of their big beautiful T-10-C after that.) But to my everlasting credit the little psyop guy found his way, unassisted and without the benefit of a flashlight, safely to the R-V; chute properly S-rolled (though not necessarily twig, grass and clump of dirt free - did I mention I ended up in the bottom of the what seemed at the time like the deepest, darkest hole in the ground in all Central Thailand?), just behind the medic and well ahead of the rest of the team.

And as a gratuitous edged weapon tie in - I can state with pride that it was my very own surplus store, Marine issue KA-BAR that the medic used to dispatch the two celebratory end of exercise pigs. Mainly because after 18 days in the Khao Cha Mao it was about the only sharp thing we had left.

Not a sword but here's a pic of Guro Richard and I taken locally here in Battle Creek MI about a year and a half ago.

Then here's a younger and a lot slimmer shot of me playing by myself with a dummy I made in the back yard. I had just got back from about a month and a half in Aspen Colorado with Guro Dan. 1980

Spunjer,
Would you like to do some travel training together sometime? You could come up for a weekend and visit and I could come down and train with you for a weekend.
