Jumped into Ft. Bliss, TX on our way to Orogrande, NM for desert training in late '86. It had just rained like hell for a few hours before we jumped and after landing everyone was covered from head to toe with mud. A number of us got even more soiled after we tried to push a 2 1/2 out that got stuck.

Training with the 1st Moroccan Airborne Brigade near Rabat in April of '85. The DZ was covered with sheep that began to run in all directions as we started hitting the ground.

I don't seem to have that type of fun anymore...
