In honor of Veterans Day thank you all NCO's

[TEB]

To All NCO’s and first sergeants the glue that keeps it together, one of my most fondest memory of my first top. Was at BRAGG he was Vietnam vet fine infantry NCO, and he cared for all of his Airborne infantry warriors.

One night practicing hunter killer ops I heard a growling whisper addressing me. PFC give me that fucking yo yo there will be no yo yo in my Airborne infantry soldier.

And walking back to the company with platoon my plt sgt maybe 0200 in morning he just turned and looked at me after I surrendered my yo yo to our first shirt and we both busted up laughing.

1. Did you ever get your yo yo back?

My hubby still has his Duncan from his youth - he won $ from the Duncan reps who used to come around to the schools and get kids to try out for prizes. That was back in the 50s.

6. Those old NCO's were golden

It was a difficult balance to try and learn as much as we could but also not stand out too much.

Mine wasn’t a yo-yo but my 1SGT caught me doing a standing landing when we were doing a Hollywood jump. I think it was a -1C which was a slower descent. I came down in the area between the two runways. There was a huge pond size puddle and I landed about 15 steps in the water. I saw that I was going slow so I just didn’t do a PLF. I moved quickly over to the edge of the grass and saw him standing up on the runway. I quickly did a PLF and then starting gathering my chute. And he was like “OH HELL NO! YOU NOT GETTING AWAY WITH THAT!” He really liked me but he spent about two minutes making me do push-ups in the water. He was laughing and never said anything more about it.
