Paratrooper takes fish on parachute jump

Practical Fishkeeking ^

[Unrepentant VN Vet]

Never take a fish above 5000 feet in altitude.

You apparently have never heard of the area immediately surrounding the Continental Divide, or the MANY fish living quite happily there at altitudes over 12,000 feet.

....or maybe even those at higher elevations i.e. the Andes or Himalayas.

(Just gotta watch that "always" and "never" deal, doncha?)

As a former Airborne RANGER, I feel fully qualified to repeat the observation (probably from a leg):
"Only two (2) things fall out of the sky - bird sh!t and fools !"

**but I guess the Army will always be better “back in my day” than it is now.**

My dad was a retired Infantry CSM.

When I was a young Captain I accompanied him to a doctors appointment at the base hospital. We were on the elevator with another retiree and a couple young trainees. The trainees get off, the door closed and the other guy looked at my dad and said “The Army ain’t what it used to be!” Dad looked back at him and replied “It never was.”

I thought that was pretty profound.
