Pete Hegseth: "We're also taking care of our people... Also, I've got a bit of an announcement today that might be of interest to this community. For the first time in 25 years... we are increasing jump pay."
For too long, we’ve allowed standards to slip within the ranks for men/women serving in combat MOS’s. This is unacceptable and over.
For those willing to serve, the standards must be high and elite!
This is vital to maintain the greatest fighting force the world has ever known.
AIRBORNE EXCELLENCE!
@173rdAbnBde paratroopers leap into action, executing a precise airborne operation with the @usairforce’s C-130 Hercules in Pordenone, Italy.
Jump Master probably saved this guy's life. Bravo 🇺🇸
“Shout out to SSG Murillo for saving this dudes life. The jumper had the static line wrapped around his neck and Murillo prevented a serious injury.”

Full Metal Jacket (1987)
Stanley Kubrick allowed R. Lee Ermey to just wing it, an act practically unheard of for Kubrick. Ermey was so good, Kubrick rarely needed more than three takes per scenes, another rarity. R. Lee Ermey became a legend in just 40 minutes of screen time.
GySgt Walgren’s John Glenn speech before 1/6 Alpha’s assault into Marjah, Afghanistan, February 13, 2010
Hours before dawn, US and Afghan special operations forces inserted into two key target sites in the southwest corner of Marjah. They would be isolated until Marines, Soldiers, and Afghani troops from Task Force 3/4/205 could link up. Just prior to dawn, the landing waves of helicopters across central Helmand marked the start of the major offensive. 3rd Battalion, 6th Marines were inserted into the northern part of the city and 1st Battalion, 6th Marines in the center of the city. In the southern edge, Task force 3/4/205 conducted a ground breach and companies of 1st Battalion, 6th Marines also conducted a ground breach from the southeast.

Any Marjah vets that would like to share some photos from their time there are more than welcome. Help me tell your story.
