When doing my para training with British Airborne we did our first two descents from 800 ft from a static Barrage-balloon with a cage suspended below,(the other six jumps from aircraft).

Standing in the door of the cage with no sound except the gentle breeze blowing past and a very long way down, a recruit was heard to ask the R.A.F. Dispatcher,

"If the parachute doesn't open, how long will it take me to hit the ground from 800 ft?

The dispatcher calmly remarked, "You'll be about halfway through The Lord's Prayer".

- If it's stupid but it works, it isn't stupid. -

 

- No battle plan ever survives contact with the enemy. -

- If you really need an officer in a hurry, take a nap. -

 There is no such thing as an atheist in a foxhole.

Never draw fire; it irritates everyone around you.

.

If you are short of everything but the enemy, you are in the combat zone.
.
When you have secured the area, make sure the enemy knows it too.

.

Sniper's motto: reach out and touch someone.

Interchangeable parts aren't.

.

The quartermaster has only two sizes, too large and too small.
.

There is nothing more satisfying than having someone take a shot at you, and miss.
