nndefense 4 #1 October 8, 2006 Anybody here belong to the XVIII Abn. Corps SPC during '62-'63. If so, remember 195, the black ambulance and Dave Brubeck on the juke box? Didn't talk to Thacker much then. Was sure he was a SkyGod. Ha! Also looking for Airman Penny. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
slotperfect 7 #2 October 8, 2006 The Corps club was still active when I got to Fort Bragg in 1984. Only a year or two later, it experienced some mis-management issues and was shut down. Chuck Blue can give you the details, I don't remember them. That left the 82nd Club and the Green Beret Club, which basically melted together a couple of years ago to be the "Fort Bragg Free Fall Activity." Gone are the days when we used military aircraft on military dropzones. I miss them.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You are *really* making me feel old. I started skydiving with the XVIII SPC club in June, 1960. 82nd Airborne jump school at Bragg in March 1960. At the time, the Army Team was jumping 7-TU rigs which were determined to be way too hot for the likes of 10 jump wonders like myself. I modified my own 5-LL and actually tied my sleeve on. During this time, many folks didn't have a sleeve retainer because it was considered too unsafe! I can't remember any names. I'll have to find my log book from that period. Thanks for making me think about it!!! Bernie///Guru312 I am not DB Cooper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
