Update: I finally got around to getting a pic with my gear on.

It's right about here when it hits..................HEY SARGE.................I GOTTA GO TAKE A........................

[Rightwinger]

The engines ain't turning yet or you would be asleep!

[MacGyver]

Now those are fun times. Be safe out there.

[Mr. Brooks]

What M.O.S are you? I know some guys with the 160th.

89B Ammunition Specialist

Nah I was good to go on that jump, the one a couple of days prior not so much. I had to piss like crazy and we sat in the harness for about four hours. It was so bad I was pouring sweat trying to hold it in.

[Mr. Brooks]

The engines ain't turning yet or you would be asleep!

That was about five hours into the flight, we rigged in flight.

[Rightwinger]

I only did that once and it was a C5 jump. The rest of the time, if the engines were turning, we would be sleeping.

[Mr. Brooks]

We don't jump C-5's anymore, I did get to jump one before they stopped though.

Your right though, as soon as the engines start turning everyone goes to sleep.

[Daniel]

That a C-17? Doesn't look like a 130 for sure.

[Mr. Brooks]

Good eye, it sure is!

[Rightwinger]

Yeah, the 130 would have been leaving a greasy spot on his back and his buddy would have been close enough to make him cough!

Don't be too hard on the 130's. I used to work on them out in the same unit that tnrobocop is in.
