The luckiest unlucky SOB in theater. I wonder if he had the same WSO on both losses? I hope that in any case his combat career is on long term hold for now. Ejecting is hard on the body due to the forces involved.

well the MO must’ve cleared him to fly but you are right, long term spinal injuries are potential issue.
I wonder if he has a new callsign… maybe Ripcord or Ground Rush lol… maybe he’s been reassigned to fort Benning as a parachute instructor

Well the requirement for wings was five jumps at the school or one combat jump… he now has two of those… 
But he still needs to go to Jumpmaster school
