"And that is another one down, Sarge you owe me fifty bucks."

"What the fuck- how are ye so good at hittin' mobile targets at such a large fuckin' range?! Jacob?"

"Don' ask me, I ain't the one doin' this shit."

"Waitin' on the fifty Sarge~"

For me, this takes me to a memory. I'm fifteen the rain is pouring down. A salute of gun fire startles me and fills me with pride. Then this sound, taps, that I'd heard for uncles, cousins, friends of the family and now for my father, First Sergeant US Army, veteran of two wars, three Bronze Stars.

How Webster described Nix in Parachute Infantry, I can totally hear Ron Livingston speak those lines in my head.

Nixon gave instructions for D-Day:

Maps and diagrams hung from the rear wall. Our instructor, the S-2 captain, watched us come in and look around. Yale men, his face seemed to say as he stared at us dully with a studied air of unshaven indifference, must remain poised and blasé in the presence of the unwashed. When the last man had ducked in, the guard secured the door flap and the captain started to talk.

"I have something here," he said,

"that may interest you: a sort of field problem... These are sandtables, one for the big picture and one our own size. You've seen other sandtables before at other airfields before other jumps, but these are different.”

"We're jumping behind the enemy lines on the peninsula of Normandy. Don't look blank. Surely you've heard of Normandy? It's a large peninsula on the coast of central France about a hundred miles southeast of here." He stepped to the back wall, unrolled a map of southern England and central France, and taking a pointer, indicated Normandy.

…

"There are two beaches: Utah, here, and Omaha, here. We drop behind Utah. The 4th Division is supposed to pass through us on D-Day.”

"If they take the beach.”

"The 82nd's jumping up here around St. Mere Eglise, and the British 6th Airborne Division will go in ahead of their infantry here. But let's not worry about those people. We'll have enough worries of our own."

Glancing disdainfully at his wristwatch, the captain ended his monologue and looked around the tent, dull-eyed and absolutely uninterested.

Final briefing before the jump:

D-Day was scheduled for tomorrow. It blew icy fumes of fear in our faces as we gathered in the S-2 tent for the final briefing.

"At ease, men," the captain snapped, all indifference gone from his voice and attitude. "I have something important to tell you that you may already know: We're leaving tonight. This is final.”

…

"We jump at one o'clock. As I told you before, we'll assemble in an orchard near Hébert, pronounced Ayb-are. If you're lost and run across a Frenchman, ask the way to Hébert, not Herbert, as I've heard some of you pronounce it. If you've studied your maps and listened to your officers, you'll know that Hébert isn't even a town. It's a couple of houses and a crossroads surrounded by apple orchards. The Germans have planted antiairborne poles and mines in most of the other jumpfields in our sector, but as far as we know, our fields and orchards are clear. I guess they didn't think we'd be crazy enough to jump near orchards, but they don't know how crazy we are. If we were sane, we wouldn't be here.”

Three members of the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team display the typical loadout of gear worn by US Paratroopers of the 82nd and 101st Airborne Divisions on D-Day.

The WWII ADT was one of several groups of airborne re-enactors that jumped in period-correct uniforms and gear, with authentic military canopy parachutes, from a fleet of C-47 ‘Dakotas’ onto original D-Day drop zones during the 75th anniversary of D-Day on June 6, 2019.

STRONG, ATHLETIC, VORACIOUS APPETITE FOR EVERYTHING IN LIFE. ADDICTED TO SENSORY OVERLOAD ( PHYSICALLY, VISUALLY, INTELLECTUALLY), ALTHOUGH, MAYBE A LITTLE EMOTIONALLY HARDENED. U.S. ARMY VETERAN, FIRST TO STEP TO THE FRONT OF THE LINE. I BELIEVE STRONGLY IN LOYALTY AND COMMITMENT. FIERCE DEFENDER OF THE CONSTITUTION AND THE BILL OF RIGHTS. IF I CARE ABOUT YOU AND/OR LOVE YOU YOU'LL HAVE NO BETTER ALLY, FRIEND, PROTECTOR, INTELLECTUAL AND EMOTIONAL CONFIDANT THAN I! THERE'S NOTHING I WOULDN'T DO FOR YOU EXCEPT BETRAY OR SELLOUT MY INTEGRITY AND MY HEART!

"Spoon, y'ever see exorcism shit on base?"

"Not at all. What 'bout the Sarge?"

"Keep it down, we're on the battlefield... An' no, never saw an exorcism on base. Whoever calls for one is a fuckin' idiot."
