what's a demo?

While on an un-named Halo team we were told we'd be doing a "demo" somewhere because the GK's were busy and some general wanted to see a military freefall team. (Not even the Team Sergeant was happy with this tasking) I told my Team Sergeant that we did the jump that I was going for the refreshment stand and would take it "out" in a blaze of glory!!!
We never did the mission.....

Another time we were "asked" to be a part of an Army recruiting commerical, they wanted to film a HALO drop! Not a problem, sure we'd do it, until we found out they wanted us to jump from the tailgate of a "parked" C-141 onto a mattress....... we "passed" on that detail.

Some guys get the good demos!
