Proud to be a JM

Proud to be a JM………. An essay by William Marshall

Do you remember the fleetingness of titles? I was proud to be a SPC, because I was no longer a Private, I was glad to be a SSG, because I was no longer a SGT.

Jumpmaster is different. Once you have earned that title, it never grows old, you don’t get tired of it, it will always bring respect. Even the Commander in Chief can say, “Look here, lowly General.” But he/she can’t say. “Look here, lowly Jumpmaster.” You just can’t not be proud to be a Jumpmaster!
