On my way

Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in

I am now in Atlanta Airport on my way to Seattle, Washington. I will arrive there about 10 - 11:00 pm. My flight is not till 8:00pm so I have about an 8 hour lay-over. Fun Stuff. Lots of movies and lots of naps should pass the time.

I am Leaving

Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in

I am going to be leaving Ft. Benning on Wednesday the 28th. I am going to be going to Ft. Lewis Washington. Dawn is still trying to sell the house, we have tons of people that are looking at it and love it but no one is buying anything.

I am trying to ride out the rest of my days here cuz it sucks. I can not wait until I go but it will suck to be so far away from the family. I will not be able to just go home for the weekend. We have our last formation @ 2200. I am almost done here.

It is over

I was told yesterday that I would have to complete jump week again.
I was only able to do one jump, if I was lucky, according to the Physical Therapist.
He would not give me the RTD (Return To Duty) for the jumps, so I am done with Airborne School.

It sucks that I am unable to jump and that I am leaving without my wings. Oh Well.
The school is not bad and I have fun jumping so I will have to come back. I WANT MY WINGS!!!

I guess it is all for the best, I am not in any condition to jump and I really shouldn't either but I would jump my last jump if it was going to get me my wings.

I am going to be here either until my report date or they are going to be changing my orders and I will have to wait until they come in. Guess we will have to wait and see

Just hanging

Airborne Update

Posted by Gordon Woolley placed in

I had my cast taken off yesterday. And, the Orthopedic Surgeon said I need to have Physical Therapy for 4 weeks. I had Physical Therapy this morning and we are going to condense my Therapy time to about 1 - 2 weeks. I have some exercises to do to strengthen my ankle.
I also found out that I broke my leg in Basic Training. Funny how they did not know when I did it, it would have saved me a lot of pain but I would have been restarted.

If I do not heal in enough time I am going to be dropped from Airborne. I would have 6 months to come back and jump my last jump but if I come back any later I would have to do Jump Week all over again.

My Orders are going to change because I am still going to be here when I am supposed to report, either that or I am going to have my report date changed. No matter what happens I would not know until it happens.
