I know you feel mm my brother.
Actually, its funny you mention combat drops.
I had already done skydiving before I joined the army, so when I went to get "airborne qualified" I though it was gonna be a piece of cake.
It was totally different because of the gear ( of course).
The instruction was basically the same though.
Then I did my first combat jump ( instruction basically the same) and MAN was THAT different.
Psalms 144:1
Praise be my Lord my Rock,
He trains my hands for war, my fingers for battle !
