Airborne is fun when your 20

[Junior Samples]

But man do i feel it now at 40, my knees are friggun shot and hurtin like hell right now, forget my lowerback and my pain threshold about a 6 on a 10 scale every day

errr and the arthritic 4 boxer fractures on my right hand plus the carpal tunnel aint much fun either waking up in the middle of the night with the evil claw.

and to think im only 40... lord help me in 10 more years...LOL...should change my name to McCripple or a rapper M.C. Cripple..YO!

Maybe i should move up on cripple creek

oh its just my spine..lol ..well thank god for air tools cause the days of GI Joe with the Kung Fu grip are comming to an end here.

Ive been looking into some of them new batt powered 3/8 and half ratchets..look kinda neat

 

[Jbenn911]

Sorry to hear it, brother! How long did you maintain status ?? I gave it up after a bad jump with the Brits many years ago(bad landing, ended up with some spine and hip issues too..), havent looked back..

 

[TurboBuRick]

I'm 36 but I feel like 66. The way I feel, I'll be lucky to make 56.

 

[Turbo6Smackdown]

airborne??? what active airborne unit are you with?? what unit is by flint??? You do a bad plf or somethin? lol.

 

[benoitthegr8]

Paratroopers???

35 years old here...still on status, luckily I'm now in SOF so I stay away from the T-10C canopy, I'm used to jumping the MC1-1D, they are steerable and easier to land. I have herniated disks that flair up from time to time, but the way I look at it is 4 jumps a year to stay proficient, $150 a month = $450 per jump...not too bad for a few hours of work and let gravity do the rest...

LOL no no, i been out for years, guess i shoulda rephrased the thread....i think i just like to blame my bad knees on somthin...midaswell be uncle sam eh..lol but humpin 100s of #s of ruck on long scenic strolls through the 100 acre woods prolly didnt help.

The 82nd Airborne destroyed:

My left shoulder
right ankle
both knees


But other than that I'm fine. Of course, I can no longer sneak up on a deer because all my ankle noises give me away, but I'm hanging in there.

Nice buck.

Here's my nicest, keep in mind I'm hunting WV browse deer.

And last but not least, why you don't use 300 Weatherby Magnums for ~125 lb deer within 100 yards:

I won't bother you guys with this year's, I just got a little one, but I did find a really nice 8 point that died from bluetongue, which was rampant in WV this year.

Gnats killed a nicer deer than I ever have:

 

[Turbo6Smackdown]

ah ok, we got some soldiers up in here. whats your mos's mcassteel and benoitthe great?

 

[Junior Samples]

some nice typical racks there guys, i got some older shots on zipdisc but havent been hunting in about 3 years. and a doe on opening day of bow season was last i got.

bout 10(edit) longer then 10 yrs ago... years back had a monster in my feed pile, never seen him but seen his prints and was like DAYM! and like 2 days after, he got hit on road and DNR took him, he was like 18 point non tip and woulda scored real high on B&C. made the papers and state publication called woods and waters he was so damn big....I had good spot on tree line and at other end a guy had 5 acres fenced in with 10 does as pets...bucks came for miles. that year i settled on an 8 non tip that had some weird funk on its ass...donated the meat

 

[Junior Samples]
