THANKS TO BOB MARSHALL ,WE ARE PRIVILEGED TO SOME CLASSIC CARTOONS FROM THE 1950's and 60's Bob, was with the 1/502, first D Co. then HH Co. from '62 to '64. Did JUMP SCHOOL @ Ft. Benning. Now you might wonder about the 502 patch, as I did , so I asked Bob about it. Here's his reply: "The SKULL & BATWINGS patch is from 502 PIR/101st ABN from WW2. We used it in the 60's, we were told it was not an "AUTHORIZED" Patch ....like we gave a shit....it was cool !   Enough said. Heavy Drop and I forgot to pee Don't look like a T- 10 to me either. When you do this, you really get your ass chewed out. The vision you get when an old timer tells you how it was to jump a T-7 I Knew I forgot Something April Fool !! Made a 800 ft Jump and let me tell you this cartoon ain't that far off I was a Medic and I want you to know I resemble that remark Boy what an Opening Shock, but man did you see the PLF I made I don't care how funny I look get the Damn thing off me If you look to your right, you can see why Bob has the lean and mean look.
