President H.W. Bush
You are psycho for 80 years old. Nuts. Crazy.
George H. W. Bush way to lead every senior citizen. I can only hope to want to jump from a plane at 80.
BTW, outstanding eulogy of President Reagan. I had a large lump in my throat when you choked up.
I Love Bush Sr.

I love Mrs. Bush as well. She is a shining example of an intelligent and graceful First Lady.
Yeah. I'd miss Bush Sr. But I am glad I have him now. I always liked the way Pres. Bush addressed the nation. He was all business, yet extremely prepared and very believable as my neighbor two doors down. I liked him very much.

Who is on this board from 745?
What would those SCUBA guys know about serious jumping, anyway?

Sir, I seem to have my head in my 4th POC. I thought 745 was a MFF ODA.

Sir,
I never knew ODA numbering, didn't have to as the call signs changed every 24 hours. So, whose ODA is in what and blah, blah, blah....
When is their next contact time? To whom am I sending this burst traffic?
Solamente.
Take care.

Detachment identification:
A-Teams are numbered as ODA-### (Example: ODA-015). This stands for - Operational Detachment Alpha, with the first number represent the group, the second and third representing battalion and team designation. ODAs ending in "4" designate a HALO group and ending in a "5" designate a Combat Diver/SCUBA team.
