Hey Everybody, I've complete all my initial training! WOOHOO!!!! I Graduated Airborne school today, got my bloodwings, and called it a day. Now I'm just waiting to go to bragg and get to my unit. I just wanted to let y'all know that I'm doing what I said I would. I'm not the kind of person who goes much beyond that in terms of bragging (pun not intended).
Thank you all for all the advice you have provided in the past; I'm sure I'll be around to learn more as times go along.
So now I've gone from a new, leg, Medic to a new, Cherry, Medic. I'm just working my way up the totem pole now I guess.
Take care everybody

Got yor bloodwings? You haven't gotten your bloodwings until you get to your unit and every member of the company pounds those things into your chest and then throws you out the 2d floor window while making you wear a white kevlar with cherries painted all over it to see if you remember how to do a proper PLF.

Congrats.

I left Ft .Benning for Ft. Bragg (Phase I. etc.) Feb 82. We weeeent to MacKall on 4 March 82....and it sucked. But, that was all part of the plan.

Congrats, cherry. Remember where you came from, and that you still have a loooong way to go! The others made, and so can you....just hang tough!

Good luck, and don't quit.

Congrats Cherry! Just remember you have taken the first step on a long walk.. Stay squared away, you are nothing but a FNG when you get to the unit, your actions the first few days and weeks are critical.

Good luck and "Airborne"
