I don't know how I got over the hill; I didn’t even realize I had made it to the top.
BAS = June 1975.
"Q" Course = Start August 1983

LOL - doesn't that question fall under the "don't ask, don't tell" category?
Back to the original thread topic...
Here is something not many people can say about BAS:
I got my wings in January 1983
My wife graduated jump school in July 1985
Our son graduated in January 2005

Jump school January 1966. C-119's. First jump at Bragg after jump school was from a C-46. I too would do it all over again. No regrets.
