“C-130 rolling down the strip
Airborne ranger going to take a little trip.
Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door,
Jump right out and count to four.”

>>Special operators have been singing that song for half a century. What an airplane!<<

Basic trainees were Jody-calling that tune when I went through basic at Ft Knox in 1966. The Drill Sfgts took particular amusement in pushing the Airborne gung-ho stuff to those of us slated for further training as tankers.

Including me, who eventually wound up with 10th Special Sorces Group at Bad Tolz, and my pal Skip, who wound up getting the Medal of Honor.

Yeah, we reeeelly needed that Jody call motivation. My first jumps were out of the C119 *Dollar Nineteen* *Vomit Comet* though, later obnes out of a C160 Transall.
