Be Thou At Peace
Posted by Rex Perkins on August 2, 2001:
| We were on one of our summer trips visiting army bases and a group of us were all excited about being airborne soldiers. After a night of carousing we returned to the old wooden barracks and decided to have a night jump. Stump was the stick leader and he opened the second floor window and exited the barracks followed by a number of others. Then we decided we should have a "heavy" drop and got some kind of vending machine and were trying to throw it out the window when we were interrupted by a tac, OD or other official. The "heavy" drop failed and it was probably the only time in Stump's career the a mission went unaccomplished. The Greek God, as he was sometimes called, was one of our finest. |
