    As an old Paratrooper a lot of us changed the words a bit - from Gory to Glory very easy to do, and most times very appropriate. Only way better for a Airborne Trooper to go out is being in the middle of a big pile of brass and sounded by the enemy as they blead out !

      Good man you are. I’m a retired 11H/11BB4 but never did Airborne, I embraced the Air Assault route and did all the fun filled schools as I went up the ladder, lol. The 173rd has a deep and well respected history. Here in San Antonio, TX there’s not many Infantry Vets so I would go to the Airborne Association meetings and chat with some old Vietnam era Grunts and as they told me their stories I could visualize every detail since I’m well familiar with the tools they used and Dak To was no damn joke. With my 6 years served in 2/502nd INF, 101st I learned a lot about our heritage in WWII and Vietnam and was amazed. And I know being in an Airborne unit isn’t an easy assignment, lots of ruck marches like we did at Ft. Campbell.

    Right before we got loaded onto our first jump they played this over the PA and the Jump master said "Dont worry, youll reach the group, I cant promise youll land in 1 piece or alive but youll find the ground for sure." and then we got loaded onto the plane. God I hated that jump but I now sing this before most jumps.

      I’m a retired Army Infantryman and we need good men in the Infantry and could use you. Contrary to public perception the Infantry isn’t populated by retards, before I retired in 2009 the average IQ in my Battalion was 119. Intelligent men can’t handle a mundane job doing the same task day after day, it’s like prison to us. We prefer a fluid and constantly changing environment that challenges us individually and as a group. In my 26 years I saw a lot of the world and met some great people who are my lifelong friends and I miss them dearly. I still keep in touch with a few of the men I served with and make sure they know that I’m here if they need help or to just laugh with. It’s odd how we remember the hilarious stuff we did since Infantry humor is legendary and I have no clue how they dream things up, lol. I know I sound like a Recruiter but I enjoy talking with good men who I’d share a foxhole with and the fact you watched this video speaks a lot about you as a man. My job was MOS 11H which is Heavy Anti-Armor Weapons Infantryman where I used the TOW system to kill tanks, I liked it since we didn’t have to walk so much. Years later they dropped my MOS of 11H and I was assigned as 11B Infantryman and fought in two wars as such. We don’t work on weekends and each month we have at least one 4 day weekend and our paycheck is always the same so it’s not like we work on an hourly basis. We work from 0900-1630 daily and come in for PT at 0630-0730 4 times a week. Well, that’s my pitch, hope we can see you in our ranks one day or, you can relay this info to someone you know that you think would be a good Soldier, we have around 150 other jobs to choose from, my daughter served as a 68C which is a Practical Nurse and after getting out, she started working 2 weeks later making $29 an hour doing the same job she did in the Army and now she’s attending college part time to get her Nursing degree which costs her nothing. I wish you well young man, do great things in life.

    My father was a medic in the 221 Airborne Medical Company, 11 Airborne Division in WW2. Maybe because the song hit to close to reality he didn't like the song. One war story he told was about a friend who bounced 30 feet back into the air and rolled almost 200 yards. Putting him on the stretcher he was still alive with near every bone in his body broken and sticking out. A PTSD situation. His only advice he gave me going to Vietnam was don't make close friends it hurts when they die.
