All those guys are great! I jump with them in at the Skydiving Place in Parkton.

Demo team...not likley they will go to the nationals.

The 82nd has had a team for 30 years, I can't ever remember them or the 101st team going to the nationals.

FWIW. Mulford was on the GK team as a demo jumper.

Stiffler was on the 82nd team

Rene Jewett was the XO for the GK's (I had a really cool canopy wrap with him.)

Rodney Cruze is a fantastic jumper, and Won the Advanced medal in 2002 with Nemesis.

Ken, Tony and the rest are very good guys.

Bummer.

From reading the article, it looked like they not only did the Demo stuff, but also turned a few points.

It's a shame that with so many different military teams out there that only the GKs get to play from the Army.

I think we all get a kick out of seeing the Air Force guys and it sure would be nice to see other teams too.

When I was on the 82nd team we did a few competitions...But most military teams have just the demo team. You don't see many of the Competion GK's doing demos, or the Demo guys competing...Yes, it does happen but they have seperate Demo and comp teams.
