Well, I personally think that I made a couple bad decisions and got lucky during the whole process. I do enjoy thinking about it since I got out of it alive. Maybe when the 30 years gag order elapse completely and if I am still alive and I surely hope that I will be in 2017, I will write the book I always wanted to do.Originally Posted by vertstang86
I'd buy it...
It is, of course, obvious that speed, or height of fall, is not in itself injurious ... but a high rate of change of velocity, such as occurs after a 10 story fall onto concrete, is another matter.
Damn RJ! Glad it worked out for you.
fun stuff! RJ, I'll buy the book.

Is life so dear, or peace so sweet, as to be purchased at the price of chains and slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take; but as for me, give me Liberty or give me death." Patrick Henry, Virginia House of Burgesses, March 23, 1775

Me three! Be sure and include an e-book version. I think by 2017 they should be selling very well.
THANK YOU for your service.
A plane meeting a secret agent type guy and then getting shot down in badguy territory.......that gives me an idea.....

I do have have interesting stories. However, in my time to listen to a conversation, we had to go inside and bug the place. Now, it is too easy and a lot less adrenaline flowing. In my time USSR was still alive and kicking. My more recent action as a PMC is so commonplace that there is nothing extraordinary to tell. Except maybe for the suicide bomber that killed 5 of my teammates so close to me that my ears are still ringing today.
As I was going through older posts, I ran across this gem, and it brought up memories from long ago.
Back in '75, i was in an Infantry unit at Ft Lewis, WA.
After an FTX at Yakima Firing Center, our Battalion Commander thought that it would be a really good idea for the entire Battalion to hump it back to Ft Lewis, over the Cascade Mtns.
We were first ferried by Chinooks to the foothills, and then away we went.
The short of it was it took ten days. Dunno what the mileage was, but it was a grinder! Imagine, a whole Battalion of grunts humping through the Cascades with LBE, weapons and Steel Pots.
Oh yeah, and to top it off, the ending was a 5 mile run, in formation, with above equipment on.
Remember those Jody songs?
Fun Times!
