Jungle_Expert_Cert.JPGThe Most Valuable Certificate Ever!190 viewsMany students were "dropouts". Several of the exercises were beyond those officers and NCOs who didn't have sufficient physical fitness. Some were petrified by having to rappel down a vertical cliff. The "practice" run was a mud cliff; the "graded for score" rappelling was done down a rock waterfall. Those very devious buzzards didn't tell us that. Crossing the raging Chagres River with two poncho halfs making a raft was very daunting for the non-swimmers. I was lucky to be paired with a strong swimmer. The 24-hr E&E was not for the faint-hearted, plus they threw us into a raging storm. The maps literally washed out of our hands from the driving rain as a monsoon started. Such fun.

Casp1.jpgThe Final Days186 viewsCapt Mike Casp, Battery Commander, just after monsoon lifted.
It was extremely regrettable that Capt Casp, filling in for a LNO who was on R&R, was in a C&C chopper shot down while on a Recon Mission. He was a wonderful Battery Commander!
