I'll never get used to those damned parachutes. It seemed so adventuresome an idea to join the 1st Airborne, and God knows the training nearly killed me, but try as I may, jumping out a perfectly good plane seems fit but for morons. I can't believe I actually hit the clearing.....I was told our pilot flying our old Iron Annie "Greta" was the best their is, and damned if they weren't right. It's not often command gets something right! Chute is buried, and I'm nursing my bruised balls; that piece of engineering bullcrap "Danglke Bag" caught the wind just so, and slammed the Family Jewels at full ramming speed. If the boys ever get wind of this, I'll be buying beer to shut them up for years! Well, at least I'm not hungry anymore...I still feel like throwing up. GOD, I WISH I HAD SOME ICE!!!!! First light in 2 hours. I hope the boys made it down safe and sound.
