These are the guys and gals we used to invite to our shop, that we’d take on demolitions shots and let em set off 3000 pound shots . We took em to our shoot houses, we made tandem jumps with those that wanted the experience yet weren’t jump qualified. We’d make sure they got video and lots of pictures to share with their families and friends. We made sure that they saw the end product of their efforts.

Folks that did the hard dirty jobs in far off places that didn’t have some special identifier, or elite specifications or dangerous occupation. The grunts in the trenches, folks we knew worked really hard and got little praise for it ! Folks we respected, honored and tried to reward everyday for what they did and continue to do. Folks that keep the point of the spear sharp and well oiled !

God has a special place for them in this world and the next IMO.

Just my opinion ......Stay safe Ya’ll !

REMF's (what we called 'em) took a lot of crap, but a serious line unit knows that if there aren't ten guys behind them shoving the 3 B's, they're just surly targets.

I always said 'thanks' whenever I had dealings with them. And I'll always be grateful.
