Ok, time to start planning that one out....
Abraham Lincoln (quiet, reserved and selfless): “The world will little note, nor long remember what we say here” -Gettysburg Address
Obama (egotistical): “Now the world will watch and remember what we do here”

Did that back in 1990, had a great time, but unless things have changed you have to be on jump status in the military and form a military team to participate...no civilians, no non-airborne status personnel can participate since they are using military aircraft for the jump platforms. Teams were 4 plus 2 alternates as memory serves, and we met teams from SEALs, Germany, Canada, and many US teams (active and Reserve componant). Great support from the community and the R.I. NG.
Stand in the door!
