Dropping water??
They dropped water to you in bladders?? Wow, thats a new one for me. Only water I saw coming down from the skies was rain and plenty of that too. Maybe the 101st didn't have them, I don't ever remember them bringing us water in the field. They never resupplied us in the lrrps
We carried 4 or 5 plastic canteens in the 101st and also in the lrrps. We'd fill up as needed and I don't ever remember being all that far away from some kind of water--well or creeks or something. I remember water patrols with guys going down for water with 20 canteens on a strap, looked kinda like a stalk of bananas.
We'd put Koolaid in the water to take away the taste of the purification tablets (not in the lrrps)
