After serving my country in the Marines, and settling down(?) into family life, I'm thinking to go back into service. This time down a different path. I'm looking at the TX ARNG 1st Bn (Airborne), 143rd Infantry Regiment. I submitted my package online and will have solid dates for Benning (BCT & Airborne) in about 1-2 weeks from now. The unit's recruiting officer asked me if I wanted to go to Ranger school (or any other school that I'd like) and said they can guarantee me a seat in my enlistment package because they've a ton of them and want/need to qual guys.
I realize this isn't SF related, but thought I'd throw it out there for feedback from anyone on here who's Airborne qual'd. Jumping out of moving aircraft will be a new thing for me. Not to mention I'm excited to get back into the loop so to speak.
Ahhhhh... I remember an interesting fact that I forgot to add. The Bn CO, Lt Col Douglas O'Connell, is this guy...
