		paratroopers to come and relax, unwind and comment on things that maybe only fellow paratroopers would consider 'Normal' (although we just call it being 'Socially Challenged').
		The only time you might legitimately hear about a 'former' or 'ex' paratrooper is if the individual is in polite company and has actually been a jump refusal and subsequently was ushered out of a jump unit never to put his/her knees in the breeze.
		Yes, if you're a future paratrooper, relative of one of our fellow troopers, spouse of a paratrooper (oh, you deserve SO much respect) or are an enthusiast, historian or re-enactor then come on in.

	THE DECOY PARATROOPER DUMMY HISTORY SITE !
		The first known use of the Paratrooper Dummy occurred in May 1940, during WW II, when the German Airborne used "straw-filled" paradummies to make their invasion of the Low Countries/Belgium look larger than it actually was.
		On the 5th of September, 1943, preceded by heavy bombing and strafing and screened by smoke, the 503rd U.S. Paratroop Infantry Regiment, followed by Australian Paratroop gunners with their 25-pounders, landed in the tall kunai in the vicinity of the Nadzab airstrip.
		The paratrooper riggers who are in charge of "care and feeding of Oscars" are evidently sworn to secrecy due to the highly classified nature of their work.

	The Paratrooper
		The "Screaming Eagle" patch on this Paratrooper's left shoulder signifies that he is a member of the 101st Airborne Division.
		Normally, in battle, the chinstrap would not be buckled because of artillery concussion; the paratrooper chinstrap, which was attached to the helmet liner, would not have been used after hitting the ground.
		Another piece of equipment, found underneath his field pack, is a 30-foot length of rope used to lower the paratrooper from trees or rooftops.
