Gladjer here P'Trooper.
Just jump right in. Ain't nobody shootin at yah. Your amongst friends and have a great referral. With a handle like that I'd guess you jumped from a couple of perfectly good fixed or rotary winged aircraft. Personally, didn't see much sense in such foolishness. When climbing into one of those things I always go by the equalize rule; For every time you go up in an fixed or rotary winged aircraft you will come down exactly the same amount of times in same such machine that you left Gods green earth aboard. You only jump from said aircraft if said aircraft is safely on the ground, motionless and you want to get to the bar quickly for a nice cold brew.

Did you ever hear of White Horse Mountain? Did you ever work with the 9th Korean Inf. Div. a.k.a. White Horse Division? I served with them in Vietnam and they saved my life. I am a HUGE fan of the South Korean Army. The White Horse Div. got it's name from the Korean War where they fought off the enemy, totally outnumbered, and kicked their butts on White Horse Mountain. Someday I'd like to go to Korea just to give them my thanks. Lost the book with all their names and addresses though, so it would be ceremonial visit. I was with the 30th Regiment.

Haven't heard of White Horse Mtn., but our plt. Houseman, Mr. Lee was in Vietnam w/ the WhiteHorse Div. & walked with a limp. I asked some one why & they said to buy him a bottle of whiskey & he'd take me to his home & tell me about his limp. He got shot in the foot during a helo-insertion on top of a hill in Nam.
