NEW SUITS

Today was freakin awesome! All of your taxes are well appreciated, as I try on all of my new gear (see picture for a taste). We got a helmet bag, 3 flight suits, jacket, 2 pairs of thermal tops n bottoms, flask to fit in flight suit, G-shock watch, aviator sunglasses, a lame flashlight from the 30s, gloves, boots, fuzzy hat, crazy protractor thing, leg strap to attach checklists, and hearing protection (quickly put to use while shooting the 38 later that day). The suits/jacket aren’t in the pic cause we’re getting rank and name tags sewn up at the parachute shop, we made the name tags with a red hot stamp press that burned silver ink into the leather. I had to contain my excitement when we pulled my patch out, only to find I had mis-spelled my own name, whoops, so I didn’t do so well at containing my excitement after all...
