My hubby still has his Duncan from his youth - he won $ from the Duncan reps who used to come around to the schools and get kids to try out for prizes. That was back in the 50s.

But I respected that E8 he was squared away

One of my true honors was the looking out for my troops.

But after BNOC SENIOR Nco academy all nco’s get there sense humor removed can’t have sense humor and be first sgt or E-9 sgt major

It was a difficult balance to try and learn as much as we could but also not stand out too much.

Mine wasn’t a yo-yo but my 1SGT caught me doing a standing landing when we were doing a Hollywood jump. I think it was a -1C which was a slower descent. I came down in the area between the two runways. There was a huge pond size puddle and I landed about 15 steps in the water. I saw that I was going slow so I just didn’t do a PLF. I moved quickly over to the edge of the grass and saw him standing up on the runway. I quickly did a PLF and then starting gathering my chute. And he was like “OH HELL NO! YOU NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THAT!” He really liked me but he spent about two minutes making me do push-ups in the water. He was laughing and never said anything more about it.

They were golden your so correct

You couldn’t sneak most anything by them. Lol
