Troopers make document-setting jumpSgt. Stanley Grodzicki of Nanticoke virtually jumped into the file guides on Feb. 3.
Grodzicki, a member of the 82nd Airborne Division, produced his 240th parachute soar in the course of Workout Snowdrop at Pine Camp (now identified as Fort Drum), New York. This was a record for the 82nd Airborne.
As aspect of the Army’s winter season maneuvers, some 600 paratroopers jumped from plane above a snow-covered landscape. The troopers then invested the night time in the under-zero weather conditions with the equipment and materials they jumped with.
This maneuver was the largest mass over-snow parachute bounce in U.S. Military background.
