just to show you how old this showing is...3/73 Armor (the guys who own the tanks/ bradleys that were being lape'd in and dropped) is now 3/73 cav...3/73 cav has no bradleys or tanks...and was stood up initially in 2006

@90bizzle I think this is from 2005

would've been nicer if you didn't skip parts

[OlderG0ds]

I agree, but I had to they were parts that momentarily froze up. Sorry this is the best it could be.

@108Dax you dont want hundreds of paratroopers having highly mobile shutes. thats how sky sharks are made

[108Dax]

i thought (from WW2 docs) that round parachutes didnt allow for proper steering, that rectangle parachutes were better for controlling.
