Derek Parish

I can ask Blake if he’s familiar with the name. I know there are a lot of units within the 82nd, and they do jumps together and field training with other units as well.

Thank you Gienna. I know the 82nd is a big division.

Wait!? You were in an Airborne Lawyer unit?

Nah.

I went to Airborne School, but I was never a lawyer in the Army.

I was always a regular “line” Officer.

I was a Logistician first, then an AFPAK Hand, then a South Asia Foreign Area Officer.

Also, after I did my five jumps and got my Airborne Wings, I never jumped again. I was a “five jump chump.”

What an honor! DP’s jersey in the College Football Hall of Fame in Atlanta. Very few players in the history of college football can make that claim.

Thank you! He is one tough kid. No matter what you throw at him, he’s going to make sure he comes out on top.

As I’ve said before, so glad he got that performance in before the injury. Hope his hard work leads to a pro career but I’m sure he’ll succeed at whatever he does.

Derek going to try out at running back/full back…?

He mentioned they will have him split between FB and Edge. They have seen him at Edge, I’m guessing they want to see what he can do at FB. He would most likely go back to LB like Anenih did at the next level.

With a 54 player limit versatility is a valuable commodity in the NFL
