I'm thinking of trying to get to their next camp after I get back from deployment. I don't do paratrooper impressions but I have always fancied jumping from a plane.

Yes, I'm planning to go to the refresher course next January myself. Jumping from a plane truly is the most fun you can have with your clothes on! When are you going to get deployed?

Early '09... Think thats about all I can say
 Small chance I can make the 09 summer course... probably have to save money and hit the '10 Winter or something.

Not yet, but I plan to go there. Maybe some of you can attest to this... According to Cornelius Ryan's The Longest Day, Bob Murphy, a pathfinder from the 505th (I think) landed in St. Mere Eglise at 12:115am. He was the one who landed in a woman's courtyard, as she was attempting to go to the outhouse, well Ryan writes that he scared the hell out of her with his "war paint" he also wrote that Bob had a mohawk. I think he's still alive. Does anyone know of this? As far as my research shows thus far, only the "Filthy Thirteen" did the war paint, though some of the guys in the newsreel photo prepping the C47 with them do as well. Do you know what type of paint the 502nd used? Are there any pictures? Thanks! B
