Nick nice mug shot "squat-hold!" Curious, is that a bona-fide JM performing the JMPI, or just going through some posing/motions?

And thanks for the pic's. Ft Mac was my stomping ground, born and raised but a few blocks from the upper reservation and just next to the lower reservation.

Yeah just posing...Getting ready for Holland. Jump master inspection indeed! No runways at Mac of course... as you know ...
So no C47's waiting unfortunately! That will all be added by the artist.
Here some more images! The Germans in full wool for winter battle scenes which is the 2nd theme! Yikes!

Funny!
Yeah it shrunk in the heat!
His work is very popular with the military!

Our group also posed for this one ("at the Cross roads", Sainte-Mère-Église )

Great photos! Fort MacArthur is a great historic park and like Ray stated, I also lived just a few blocks from the upper fort and a block from the lower fort right on Bluff Ave. Beautiful part of San Pedro! I still miss living next the beach. Steve

We will be doing another JamesDietz (airborne related) painting pose on July 16 at Fort Mac!
This time reinforced M41 jump suits! D-Day theme! Hope the weather cools down a bit...
Yours truly on the left (with tilted helmet and "Operation Varsity" 17th A/B kit)
