One of the guys in my Ranger class was the dummy who'd ejected, his squad leader in Iraq was one of the RI's in the desert phase, we didn't hear the end of it because that same dummy lost his rubber duck - at White Sands of all places...there's no words to describe how much we'd low crawled looking for that rubber duck while his ex-squad leader turned RI yelled at the top of his lungs that he was gonna wish he had died ejecting from that MIG if we didn't find it...an entire day and half and a night later we found it, the dummy got to live but had to recycle the desert phase.
If it were up to me I would've voted him off the island, I'm pretty sure he would've been peered out had he stayed in that class. I don't know why, but I thought for sure he'd come from the 325th, it was awhile ago though and there was about twenty guys in the beginning from Bragg and a few from the 173rd, I could've mixed it up somehow.
Great photos VoZ! I've never seen a tank catch air.
