With
eight
companies
that
gave
us
not
quite
a
drop
each
week
,
and
then
it
gave
us
a
little
more
than
a
drop
each
week
as
attrition
continued
,
whereupon
the
drops
got
tougher
--
over
mountains
,
into
the
arctic
ice
,
into
the
Australian
desert
,
and
,
before
we
graduated
,
onto
the
face
of
the
Moon
,
where
your
capsule
is
placed
only
a
hundred
feet
up
and
explodes
as
it
ejects
--
and
you
have
to
look
sharp
and
land
with
only
your
suit
(
no
air
,
no
parachute
)
and
a
bad
landing
can
spill
your
air
and
kill
you
.
Some
of
the
attrition
was
from
casualties
,
deaths
or
injuries
,
and
some
of
it
was
just
from
refusing
to
enter
the
capsule
--
which
some
did
,
and
that
was
that
;
they
were
n't
even
chewed
out
;
they
were
just
motioned
aside
and
that
night
they
were
paid
off
.
Even
a
man
who
had
made
several
drops
might
get
the
panic
and
refuse
...
and
the
instructors
were
just
gentle
with
him
,
treated
him
the
way
you
do
a
friend
who
is
ill
and
wo
n't
get
well
.
I
never
quite
refused
to
enter
the
capsule
--
but
I
certainly
learned
about
the
shakes
.
I
always
got
them
,
I
was
scared
silly
every
time
.
I
still
am
.
But
you
're
not
a
cap
trooper
unless
you
drop
.
They
tell
a
story
,
probably
not
true
,
about
a
cap
trooper
who
was
sight-seeing
in
Paris
.
He
visited
Les
Invalides
,
looked
down
at
Napoleon
's
coffin
and
said
to
a
French
guard
there
:
"
Who
's
he
?
"
The
Frenchman
was
properly
scandalized
.
"
Monsieur
does
not
know
?
This
is
the
tomb
of
Napoleon
!
Napoleon
Bonaparte
--
the
greatest
soldier
who
ever
lived
!
"
The
cap
trooper
thought
about
it
Then
he
asked
,
"
So
?
Where
were
his
drops
?
"
It
is
almost
certainly
not
true
,
because
there
is
a
big
sign
outside
there
that
tells
you
exactly
who
Napoleon
was
.
But
that
is
how
cap
troopers
feel
about
it
.
Eventually
we
graduated
.
