Kyo-
looks like what I remember - but my brain got frozen a few times, and water logged a few more than that. Ah yes, rubber pajamas with feet and a hood, and no way to pee on a long swim...
Pete- 0230 is the magic hour, when you're on the ramp and the jump gets scrubbed, when you're thinking infil is in 4 hrs, and they tell you to suit up now 0300 dive in the water with a sweet little 2 mi swim, the grenade and arty sims go off on the first night idoors in a month at Camp McK, when you get busted sneaking the girl out of the barracks by the SGM....
