Yeah he was ok. The wind kicked up and unwrapped him before we had to pop reserves. BTW I was the lower jumper so I had the right of way :)

AK, G-3, MP5, M-4, M-240, M-60... AT-4's and the smaller Law. I was attached to a Special forces unit so we got to play with a lot of their other fancy toys too. Got to blow up a lot of stuff. Got to use shotguns to blow off door hinges and handles and other assult type of play. C-4 racks to take out precise chunks of walls and blow put sections of floors. Just fun fun fun. You would have loved it ESD.

and we had the privlidge of blowing all the extra explosives left over from the year (if you dont use you lose it next year thing) for the whole post. Took us ten days to blow it all up. We wrote f-you grahm rugman (cost cutting senators at the time) in C-4 and blew a log crib with it.

It was a blast

I loved playing with that stuff. We used to wait for raining days to head out to the grenade ranges and we would try and throw them into the huge puddles out on the range to see who could get the highest geyser.

If they did, I wasnt paying attention... However...I was on a run one time that some guy needed to take a little trip to the woods. He ran home with just one sock on. Funniest thing I ever saw.

fold into quarters and rip out the corner. Keep that little peice for later.
unfold and you have one quare with a hole in the middle.
insert finger in hole.
wipe with finger.
slide square up to clean off finger.
Use the little peice you "saved" earlier to clean your finger nail.

probly more than you really wanted to know! Sorry!

Yorkhof and Francois Kasernes were built around the turn of the century. Francois Kaserne, located across from Yorkhof Kaserne, was built in 1894 for the 6th Thuringian Ulanen Regiment. Ulanen in military terms translates to ‘cavalry.’ This caserne and others making up the Lamboy area were erected on the battlefield site of Napoleon’s last victory in Germany. After World War II, it was used for a time as a camp for displaced persons until the U.S. took it over for its present use.
