#AMA Reply to this tweet with your question.
So, we're ignored some of these questions. We're only answering serious questions related to the Corps' current capabilities & training and to our legacy. This is, after all, XVIII Airborne Corps Heraldry week, which is the reason we launched this #AMA.
Questions are starting to wane...moving into hour 2
We announced our Draw The Dragon contest earlier today but it may have gotten lost in the AMA. Throughout the past week, we've received some really cool Dragon Fan Art. Let's have a contest Submit dragon designs by Aug 16th via email: 18CorpsHistorian@gmail.com.
Noted: an hour is the max these things should go from now on.
Anything else?
