    You must have been the group on the back side that was just getting out of the water when we got there. Having dived ABWA several times I knew the water was cold but asked a couple of young guys in shorties if they got cold. The answer was in the affirmative! Ron

    Hi Chris. Back in the late 1980s I too served with the 82nd Airborne Division. In fact, it was while I was at Ft. Bragg that I got my AOW. The instructor was Robert Carr, there in Fayetteville.
