The Paratroopers in Diani

It has been the highest of pleasures and an absolute honour for us to work with airborne units of the Kenya Defence Force over the last two months.
An extraordinary level of dedication and professionalism results in a new generation of paratroopers for Kenya and Africa as a whole. “Huja!!”

They meant this particular team’s current training…@jazzman is the 20th para same as the green berets?

@Jazzman nilisoma eti parachute landing adversely affects the back and legs with time. ni ukweli?

Same here…but 1st ni bunjee jumbing and going to sa via tz, zambia Zimbabwe

Not really, if done according to set standards. Hapa ndio madaktari husema inategemea na physiology yako. One may develop mild, moderate or severe degeneration as skydiving puts enormous stress on the spine.

Hapo kwa miguu ni mtu kuland vibaya.
