I just met a woman jump master [View all]

Not being rude I never knew my time was 1984 Airborne school after infantry at Benning we never had female master blasters. I was at gym with our sons and this lady who is E-8 first sgt commented on my ball cap 82nd. I said yes we started talking here she was a master blaster ran was in charge of paratroopers on jump then she went to HALO SCHOOL. Which is amazing high altitudes low opening free fall glide across borders. I was just a static drop after jump school.

Think about it HALO school in Arizona IS free fall where you have to keep your attitude body correct not spin and leave aircraft 7 miles in sky with oxygen, to me that is hardcore to graduate HALO school I’m thinking what a stud hard ass so I made new friend. Gave the master blaster my phone number and said give me call. As she is on recruiting duty and come out to house and hang with us I’ll always hang with Airborne I love vets.
