Excellent work! butā¦ the yellow triangle with black scull and crossbones on one of the helmets is a German land mine warning marker, not an American brassard.

Okay! The photo caption explains it all. Those paratroopers had an odd sense of humor!

Hi Dmitri, these are awesome! Is this figure checking his stick member going to have his feet planted flat on the ground as this pose is almost ergonomically impossible to stay in unless one falls forward?
Did you do your course at Lee or at Benning? I remember while going through 76Y school, Red Caps were all around, down the main drag from where our barracks were, you could see the Riggerās School building almost at the end of the street.
All i could say about riggers is ('tention to detail - 'tention to detail).
I did mine at Camp Williams, Utah, and famously had strippers show up on the DZ for one of our jumps. Good times!
Also, Samantha Madsen was my personal assistant, and inspiration for passing a course with a 50% failure rate. Look her up - youāll see why i was inspired. She was the chief medical officer for 1/19 Special Forces.

Remind me not to let you pack my chuteā¦ ever. 
Oh, Iām not a rigger, although I did learn to pack my MC-4. Iām talking about the Special Operations Static Line Jumpmaster Course, which differs from the regular Army Jumpmaster Course.
I think you thought I was a rigger.
I did think you were. I stand corrected. 
Excellent figure work!
