New jumper in town
 

As of this afternoon my son is a qualified Canadian basic parachutist. This makes him a third generation Infantry Officer and third generation military parachutist. Airborne - good to the last drop!

Nah...you're not a real jumper 'til you've jumped dressed in Battledress, kitted with full P37 webbing with Bren/Sten/LeeEnfield (pick one) plus a shot of brandy before you sort out your chalk.

Just like a few of us on this Forum...

(Gotta get in our bragging rights too!).

:salute: :cheers: :no4:

jumper
 

tell him welcome to the Airborne Community...best regards and good luck....malcolm :nono:

You're just bitter because now they give you parachutes. :cheers:

Congrats..
 

Clive,,..
Congrats to young Law..and Old Law too..For spawning such a wise young lad..Only problem I can see is him jumping out of those serviceable aircraft..
We put a lot of effort to keep them in the air so we don't have to jump out...
Must have been something he caught offa you...We'll straighten him out with some of those young ladies floating around Gracies..when he shows up..
Well done young Law..
:remember :drunk: :support :salute:

Clive;

Congratulations ... so is he looking to be posted to ‘M’ Coy, 3 RCR or maybe one of the other Para companies (‘A’ Coy, 3 PPCLI or ‘A’ Coy, 3 R22eR)

... What manner of men are these who wear the maroon beret ...

Have a good one jumper!

Cheers

Congrats to the new jumper.....
 

Clive....... are we still jumping to attention for recovery on the 21st......???

Affirmative. I will be in the Caribbean that week but Young Law has your telephone number and will make contact next Friday evening or Saturday for a Sunday recovery. He is presently in Trenton and out of contact.

Cheers,
Clive Clive

His first choice is 3RCR, followed by xRCR.

Better to contact me Saturday evening....
 

...will be driving down to Acton Friday evening.....March 19th... and googling the 18th.....

Sunday confirmed 9 am at the barn..

Boob

The seller can only accomodate us at 1300 hrs. Working backward perhaps a 10:30 meet at the barn is more in order? What say you?

So it is.....
 

....barn 10:30..... now it will cost you lunch and supper...!!!

Boob

PS... hope you're getting a sunburn....!!!! say HI to Mikie

... funny, thats the same battalion & location I started off in many moons ago ...

Pro Patria

... when Centurion was a rank, not a tank! :cheers:

... that explains why my original copy of the Regimental Catechism is a stone tablet ... :D
