Dropping some Reserve (Think Territorials of sorts) Special Forces Troopers at night during one of their Monthly Training Sessions.....they were quite happy to be dropped anywhere near the designated DZ when they showed up late and had to catch up with those that had already been inserted.

When the OC decided (without informing those being dropped) to make it an E&E exercise) we purposely dropped them about ten miles from where they thought they were going to be.

When the Pilots decided the same....without informing the OC as he was jumping....we upped the distance....just being fair minded and all.

He was a very good Sport about it all.....right up until he invited you for a bit of Indian Leg Wrestling near the campfire while the Moonshine Whisky was being passed around.
