Just kidding.
Egg Head - thats me
Nice pics, Playtym!
By the way, what are they doing in the pics? Are they being picked up by the Black Hawk?
It sure looks like they're going out for a swim but why are someof them wearing Pro-Tech helmets?
Safety! Dont want to bang the noodle, bobbing around equipment in the ocean.
Anyone know how many operational C130s the US military has?
It looks like they did a RAMZ jump. That is where they deflate a zodiac, put some chutes on it and push it out of a plane, then they jump after it. They are also practicing getting hoisted. They are not wearing their helmets just because they are riding boats.

It is a RAMZ insertion.Checkout www.moody.af.mil/photos/index.asp?=11
There's a good photo(page 11) showing the RAMZ load with two jumpers as they descend.
edit: the phot actually shows a 'hard duck'(inflated CRRC) and not a RAMZ.Sorry,my bad.

Great pics, He... Thanks!
thanks for transferring the phots to this thread. The second set is also excellent... makes me green with envy.
Hmm, thought most modern millitaries trained their men (and women) to use two hands when firing their sidearms... or perhaps it's his personal preference?
