That's what I figured. I was in the Corps at the time, but wasn't a member of Force Recon, Air Delivery or ANGLICO, so no paid jumping for me. I had to do it on my nickel.
Worked out for the best- I'd rather jump 7 cell Mighty Maks over T-10s, any day. At least my top teeth are still securely bedded where they should be. :-)
T-10’s? Man, marines must be rich.
We had crash-ones.
