We're talking about a prior service Florida Man here...that's nothing compared to what he used to be able to do.
You’re forgetting the planning process, which I did not include in the total execution time. I cannot handle two craft beers at 9.6%ABV in 20 minutes! Good God, man!!!
Actually, joking aside, I very rarely drank during my 30 Army years, and I don’t drink *that* much in retirement. -cough-

I think it's kind of funny because I am the exact opposite I did all my drinking back then and I rarely if at all ever touch the stuff anymore.Must be a leg - a paratroooper would slam those down on the way to morning formation!

Well, my bumper-bending pal.. I did the same thing, except I tore the rear quarter panel off of a LaSabre. Dumb bitch slammed on the brakes for a yellow light. It bent the bumper on my CJ5 at almost an exact 45-degree angle. The strap on the tree a little 4 low and slow and "Viola" back to straight. A little rattle can and who knew.Reference previous thread where I whined a little about bouncing off a tree during a Jeep ride event, damaging my Jeep.
I reinstalled the front passenger flare side marker easily; it still works. Then, I parked my Jeep in neutral, wheels cut against the pull, parking brake engaged.
I attached a snatch block to an oak tree, ran out winch line, and attached that to a 30’ tow strap. The other end was looped around the bent end of my Chineseium bumper. All it took was a little back-and-forth with the pull. You cannot tell the bumper was damaged. It did take a LOT of pull, though.
The best part was it only took twenty minutes and the cost of a few beers.
CSM, I provided medic coverage for an 82d Airborne hard and soft drop at night; it’s a funny story, as it was a support unit, not Rangers/infantry. The equipment was fine; some of the troops thought they were dying, but they too were fine
Yep, not ashamed to admit I was a leg. I was a very unusual leg, so much so that after working with the 20th SFG, head-butting and knocking out one of their company XOs, and crashing through their concertina wire at their ECP with a deuce-and-a-half and demolishing it (on purpose), their battalion (3d) CSM and XO tried hard to recruit me.Must be a leg - a paratroooper would slam those down on the way to morning formation!
I was, however, drinking very hard for the short time I worked with those boys, as an E-5.
I've never witnessed a drop in person but my dad has a fucked up story from a drop that happened down at red flag once upon a time.CSM, I provided medic coverage for an 82d Airborne hard and soft drop at night; it’s a funny story, as it was a support unit, not Rangers/infantry.

As someone who was disappointed with that last video, the fact that this worked out okay as well only compounds my disappointment.
