Graduated from Airborne Training in the summer of 1974 while in ROTC. For anyone with any kind of coordination and even a bit athletic, it wasn’t all that difficult. Once you got through the 60-90 of PT and running in the early morning, it was a lot of fun especially watching - or hearing - guys count to four while jumping out of the tower and not having all their harness straps properly adjusted.
I could have gone through Airborne training when I was 45 and have made it easily.
While this woman may be older than most students, it’s not that big of a deal.
Dude it’s her......
LOL! This “woman” is kjenerette.
You're probably right; but, I didn't want to wait until I was 45. It was enough of a challenge at the 'tender' age of 39-years old. The woman 'part' does offer certain advantages when it come to the harness; etc. (Ouch!)
Anyway, thanks - I was 6-years old when you went thru Jump School in 1974 and like you - I did have fun at Benning, even during the morning PT runs!
Airborne!
