As a former paratrooper myself, I never knew one who did not drink.
Hell, the Army spent weeks teaching us how to fall down, might as well learn to drink heavily too.
(And, no, of course we mostly did not jump while drunk.)
August 16th is National Airborne Day in the USA! AIRBORNE!!
Don’t forget to get drunk and/or jump something/someone.
2017 is also the 100th Anniversary of the 82d ABN DIV.
Another excuse to drink...
Airborne! All the way and then some!
I couldn’t imagine jumping out of a perfectly good plane sober.
