Perry Cormen cracked the standard paratrooper joke.“Why would anyone jump out of a perfectly good plane?”And then he did it.Cormen, a 91-year-old World War II veteran, was tethered to his guide back to earth, Sgt. First Class Johnny Hackett, as they made the leap from 13,500 feet and reached a freefall speed of 120 mph.“Each time is like the first time,” Cormen said. “The rush never goes away.”Hackett, who was making his 2,467th jump, is a member of the elite U.S. Army unit known as the Golden Knights, so accompanying Cormen down to the orange target X on a Homestead Air Reserve Base field was like a day at the office — except that his office is at very high altitudes.“To jump with Mr. Cormen was quite an honor,” said Hackett, 34. “My grandfather served in World War II. These men laid the foundation for our armed forces.“And Mr. Cormen was really stoked.”The tandem jumping exhibition Thursday brought back memories for two other veterans. Al Mampre, 94, a paratrooper and medic who was an original member of the “Band of Brothers,” served in the Netherlands, Belgium and Germany.“
You are detached from the world up there and it’s an exhilarating feeling — until another paratrooper lands right on top of you, which happened to me in Holland,” he said.You are detached from the world up there and it’s an exhilarating feeling — until another paratrooper lands right on top of you...Al Mampre, 94, paratrooper and medic Melvin Morris served as a Green Beret during two tours of Vietnam from 1969 to 1971. Those jumps were usually from 800 feet, carrying 150 pounds of equipment and landing in trees in the middle of the jungle.“I dreamed of being a paratrooper,” said Morris, 75, who became a master parachutist. “There’s the intrigue, the masculine look, the appeal to the girls.”Morris was wearing the sky-blue-beribboned Medal of Honor he was awarded for his bravery in combat in the Mekong Delta, when he recovered his team sergeant’s body and helped medivac two other comrades out of harm’s way while under heavy fire. He was shot three times yet managed to elude the enemy.“
I did what I had to do through sheer will,” he said. “The Green Berets do not leave their brothers behind for any reason.” The decorated veterans, who were nearly as spry as the athletic Golden Knights, were in Homestead to make a pitch: The U.S. Army wants you. They’d like to see more young people enlist.“We were part of a generation that was gung-ho about serving our country,” said Cormen, a B-29 bomber pilot. “And I learned how to fly airplanes.”The National Defense Authorization Act signed by outgoing former President Barack Obama halted the scheduled draw down of the regular Army and requires an expansion from 460,000 to 476,000 by September, which is “a challenging mission,” said Major General Jeffrey J. Snow, commanding general of recruitment.“We’ve had an all-volunteer army since 1973 and some say we cannot sustain it but I disagree,” Snow said. “I want our Golden Knights and veterans to tell their stories and inspire young men and women to consider the Army as a career.”
I want our Golden Knights and veterans to tell their stories and inspire young men and women to consider the Army as a career.Major General Jeffrey J. SnowThe Army, which offers 150 training specialties, is the toughest of the four services to join because only about one third of applicants meet qualification standards. Some can’t pass the physical test and some can’t pass the cognitive test.“Obesity is one of the biggest impediments,” Snow said. “A lot of young people have a high school diploma but can’t get the score they need on our screening exam. We also look at character. It has to be a good fit. For example, I will take someone who has smoked marijuana as long as he or she is compatible with our expectations.”Snow has 9,000 recruiters nationwide ready to dispel misperceptions and explain the vocational and academic benefits — not to mention the parachuting thrills — of joining up.Follow Linda Robertson on Twitter: @lrobertsonmiami Group Since May 17, 2008 Members can post 3 things to the pool each day.

Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind. If you log into Flickr you will see your private photos and larger thumbnails. Flickr Hive Mind is a data mining tool for the Flickr database of photography. Flickr Hive Mind is a search engine as well as an experiment in the power of Folksonomies. All thumbnail images come directly from Flickr, none are stored on Flickr Hive Mind. are bound by the copyright and license of their owners, the thumbnail links take to you to the photos (as well as their copyright and license details) within Flickr. Because some other search engines (Google, etc.) index parts of Flickr Hive Mind, you may have been led here from one of them. Welcome to Flickr Hive Mind, almost certainly the best search engine for photography on the web. If you are a Flickr user and use Flickr Stats you may have seen people being led to your photos via Flickr Hive Mind (as a Referrer). Flickr requires that I inform you that Flickr Hive Mind uses the Flickr API, but is neither endorsed nor certified by them.
There are literally hundreds of other web tools built around the Flickr API, see Flickr Bits for a bunch of examples. If you are unhappy with your photos' presence on this site, you can (a) make your photos private for yourself, friends, and family. These settings will be instantly honored by Flickr Hive Mind and all other API-driven applications. (b) Hide your photos globally from text and tag searches on 3rd party sites that use the Flickr API, via your preference settings on Flickr. See the privacy tab at:To also remove yourself from searches for specific user names, you will need to set your Flickr profile to be hidden from searches. Flickr has finally created a single page with all these settings, this is much easier to do now and is the preferred method - it will shut down all API driven sites. Google has a bad habit of keeping out-of-date links and thumbnails in their search results, I can try to help you remove them. (c) Finally, you can From Flickr Hive Mind.
To banish yourself from Flickr Hive Mind, you must first authenticate to Flickr, which lets Flickr Hive Mind identify who you are. This is necessary to make sure you are the user in question, and also because people use such crazy characters in their Flickr user names. You can revoke access when finished. Once logged in, come back to this area and there will be a link to banish you. If there are any problems email me at nosflickrhivemind ... at ... fiveprime ... dot ... org.

Flickr Hive Mind can also be an effective tool to identify photography with licenses that allow non-commercial (and sometimes) commercial use. Inspired by (and thanks to) Flickr Leech.
