Good Mickey,
RIAT is a distinct possibility, so I'm told...

SET 18,
A particularly dangerous area, give me a break. We all know what happened. And does going sausage side without 'Gucci' MAWS kit make you more 'Tac'? Glad I'm not on your crew.
That painfully thin static line is actually a K static line, by the way.
SA. "The K was sent to an area of high seasonal winds", ahhh bless! Its a shame the Navs couldn't assess these high seasonal winds, more troops might have made the DZ...
The J was never meant to be on the programme, and only came to help out when the K kept going tits.

I think what you guys seem to forget is that most J people have done many years on the K, clocking up many hours in many (if not every) roles. How many of these tedious threads deteriorate into this kind of banter as a result of J blokes slagging off the K? Not many, because we all have a great affection for the old XV Battlebus, and see no need to hammer it to bits. Unlike those of you without knowledge of the J, or a seat.

God help us all when you guys find out that mixed formations are going to happen, I think I need to take some leave....
