About Blue Skies For The Good Guys And Gals Warrior Foundation

At the core of BS3G is Team Fastrax™ Professional Skydiving Team, composed of many veterans, the team focuses on adventurous activities as the back drop to facilitate the enriching, healing environment for the warriors. The deep bonding that forms between the warriors and volunteers is priceless. The experiences are non-denominational faith centered. Small activities take place year round via hundreds of skydiving experiences with Team Fastrax (TFX). These ongoing activities take place primarily at the TFX home drop zone, Web: www.StartSkydiving.com. However, in July of every year TFX organizes a five day Warrior Weekend to Remember (WWTR) that includes many and varied activities. We support more than 20 events around the country and take wounded veterans skydiving during these events. Please consider a donation to the Blue Skies For The Good Guys And Gals Warrior Foundation. We are a 501(c)(3) foundation. We host one event each year and 100% of your donation goes to support this amazing week. The amount of your donation is not important, as every dollar helps. Please visit our sponsor page to learn more about the sponsorship opportunities.

David Willis HomeFront Sitrep Podcast

My name is David Willis, I knew at a very early age that I was going into the military but didn’t know what branch. As I got older and started learning about each branch and quickly figured out that the Marines was the best. I served in the Marine Corps from 97-04. My MOS was 0311(infantry). I went to Paris Island for boot camp after boot camp I was stationed with 2nd blt 8th Marines Golf company. While with 2/8 I went on several deployments to port a prince Haiti, Okinawa, South Korea, Greece, also did two trips to Bridgeport California for cold weather training, I wasn’t going to make a Mediterranean float so I extended and joined 1st blt 8th Marines Bravo company. During my time there we deployed to the Mediterranean and had stops in Spain, Italy, Malta, Africa, and other ports. I got out of the Marines in August of 01, but 9/11 happened and was recalled to go back in where I was stationed with a mobilization support battalion and deployed.
