AIR ASSAULT!

Post by awp101 »

Army Amputee Is First To Complete Grueling, Elite Air Assault School
FORT CAMPBELL, Ky. (AP) — Sgt. 1st Class Greg Robinson has become the first amputee to complete Army air assault school, a course so grueling his prosthetic leg broke twice over the 10 days spent rappelling down ropes, navigating obstacle courses and completing strenuous road marches.

Each year thousands of soldiers are physically and mentally tested at the Fort Campbell school. Instructors said Robinson accomplished everything other participants did and trainers cut him no slack even though he lost part of his right leg on a deployment to Afghanistan in 2006.

Good on the SFC from a fellow Sabalauski Air Assault School graduate, Class 01-97.

Gosh that's nowhere as near as impressive as the baseball player dude who just became the first one to be gay and out of the closet.

Its amazing that that soldier could do that! I hope his story is shared with any of the Boston Bombing victims if they are feeling any despair.

Doc, That really hit a note with me. I saw both stories and the Army guy's story took up a half page in the middle of the newspaper but the faggot queer got front page news. I hope the queer puts his "radiator hose" where it can get a big dose of AIDS.

That goes back exactly to what i said in another thread about the world not knowing who real heroes are anymore . Personally, i dont wish any ill will against the ball player, but to put him up on some kind of pedestal for being a deviant is just a reflection of a lot of other things wrong with society

Getting your WopWop wings at the Dope-on-a-rope school while an amputee has to be tough. Tells me that this man has more going for him than someone who plays children's games for a living.

I think he's a pro basketball player, kind of. Supposedly a 36 year old, mid-level, unheralded bench warmer at the end of his career. Desperate for attention? :roll: I'd say so.

I agree with the sentiment of this thread.

Kudos for Sgt. 1st Class Greg Robinson and .... I need a puke icon for the ball player.

If this were FB I could click "like" for this thread.

So ...... "LIKE" ...... click....... there.

Yea, and you boys know something else that I did not see discussed. The soldier makes little money compared to the stupid rich whatever-he-is. The soldier did it for the love of his country and personal self esteem, when he could be sitting back getting 100% disability.

I would pay the soldier $100 for his autograph (and he would not take it) and would make the fag pay me to throw his autograph in the trash.
