In my time in 76 they did not. But I will give you this LT in my time you guys got brutal attention compared to E4s and E5s... I still got my attention with PT based on my height and said my feet touched ground during pull-ups. I was lucky to make my first jump out of a C-123 last before retirement and I wish I could get a photo of it. That beast was like a Harley Davidson and if it doesn't leak oil get off of it... LOL If they did take photos I have a General Officer Retired in Atlanta teaching at Georgia Tech that has contacts with McPherson that is ex Ranger/Airborne I talk to every month.Response by SSG Keith Amacher made Mar 1 at 2018 8:11 PM2018-03-01T20:11:06-05:002018-03-01T20:11:06-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member3406206<div class="images-v2-count-2"><div class="content-picture image-v2-number-1" id="image-217508"> <div class="social_icons social-buttons-on-image">

But I do have pictures of me when jumping with the 82nd. and my own chute. Lucky me, my friend and I took pictures while jumping. We had Instamatic cameras in those days, but my Instamatic camera got wet crossing a river in Panama.Response by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 1 at 2018 8:29 PM2018-03-01T20:29:12-05:002018-03-01T20:29:12-05:00SSG Keith Amacher3406340<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>By the way 2LT Daniel Fahey, great job on becoming one of the brothers it is a career maker for NCO's but especially for Officers. Your field grade officers will tell you to listen to your senior NCO's and I was a SSG on E7 list and my Officers from that time will tell you the same.Response by SSG Keith Amacher made Mar 1 at 2018 9:10 PM2018-03-01T21:10:40-05:002018-03-01T21:10:40-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member3406352<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I take it you've never heard the story of a Specialist and his fish....Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 1 at 2018 9:13 PM2018-03-01T21:13:39-05:002018-03-01T21:13:39-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member3406358<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>5jump.com. This is the company that does all photos for ABN School. If you had one taken they should still have a copy of it.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Mar 1 at 2018 9:14 PM2018-03-01T21:14:51-05:002018-03-01T21:14:51-05:00MSG Dan Castaneda3407831<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>I didn't know they photographed you exiting the plane.

ABN.<br />But the best thing I still have is, my dog tag from the early 70s, with a date scratched on it, my 18 year old daughter wear's it still today. When I'm dead and gone, she'll look at it and remember me once again and Smile.<br />With all that's said, "History has it's own way of presenting itself to you and others."
