  1. It may be Service Branch pride or common sense If the Trac or boat sinks a Marine can always swim, to shore.
    I'd say Jesus was there that day.
    Somebody get this man a beer.

  3. At first you are hanging on the rope, and then they just attach another(rather SMALL) parachute to the end of the rope and cut the ties. Damn that paratroopers have balls of steel!

    For person in that situation paratrooper was looking rather calm, like he was trained for such situation (or was unconscious).
