JUMP
SCHOOL CLASSBOOK CDs

This 7 ½ by 10 1/2-inch book contains pictures of the
training facilities at Fort Benning, Georgia, scenes of student paratroopers
going through three-weeks of the toughest training the U.S. Military had to
offer, as well as, cadre pictures.

This
CD-ROM contains a graphic image of each page from an original Fort Benning,
Georgia, Airborne Class books. These class books were issued to each student
paratrooper upon graduation from the Airborne Course. Each book contains a
description of the three weeks of the Airborne Course-- Ground Week, Tower
Week, and Jump Week.
This
CD contains cadre photographs, as well as thousands of student photographs
recalling the events in their lives during training. Many of these
students went on to serve in the 3-506th, and many of them also died in combat
in Vietnam. I collected these books during the time I was writing "My
Gift To You" in hopes of finding photos of members of my battalion who died
in Vietnam. This book would be an excellent addition to collections of Vietnam
Memorabilia, as well as an excellent gift for a Vietnam Veteran or the family of
someone who served in the AIRBORNE.
Presented
in this CD-ROM are the following classes and their graduation dates:
