Bragg, on St. Mere Eglise during SFQC…..We jumped in a strong wind with FULL rucks and weapons, resulting in a “toe to face” plant for me. Capewells were full of sand so I couldn’t release the canopy. Thank God I was in my early 20s…. :shock:
St Mere was a hard luck DZ, lots of injuries there. I broke my right foot in 7 places on St Mere. On an AWOL Free jump too. Laced up my boot nice and tight and made 7 more jumps before heading to the hospital. Yeah, I was young and dumb.

Sorry for the high jack, Ray.
