How're your knees holding up at this stage of your career (sincere, not smartass question ) ... ?

Think Rice Crispees, Snap, Crackle, and Pop! Actually its probably more from the running and rucking than jumping. I had some good breaks in 14 yrs of jump status over 19 yrs of service. Now the back....

As they say, it's more the hard landing than the jumping that stresses the 'airframe' - a friend of mine also had decades of jump status behind him and during the latter part of his career enjoyed 'water jumps' due to the relatively 'soft' water landings.

The landing along with the ruck marching after doesn't help either. Of course there was the time I broke my foot, and drove on like and idiot. So many stories, but not to highjack the thread.

Jim - I believe you have just described a case of "Tom Jones Syndrome". I asked my doctor if it's common. He replied "It's not unusual".
