Jezzzz.........nobody's gettin off on the "carnage of war"..ok, maybe a little....And who do you think orders the U.S. military into battle? Themselves??? Hell no, we are ordered/directed by a bunch of civilians.. And you better hope like hell you've got a bunch of warriors and warfighters on your side when the shit hits the fan.....And, uh, don't forget about the over 2800 dead at the WTC.............So, get off your high horse.........

Freeflir29 is correct....trying to take college courses as a special operator will be next to impossible....I've got 21 years of enlisted active duty AF under my belt (gosh shouldn't I retire!), and still love it.....I run an altitude chamber unit. It's all what you make of it. Right attitude goes a long way in my book. I don't regret staying enlisted all these years, wouldn't take nothing for it, but wish I would've crossed over to the "O" (officer) world long ago... Better pay would be the only reason. As far as ATC? Depends on your initial assignment out of tech school on how "busy" you will be. Here at my base (pilot training base) they put up over 300 sorties a day, and have a 70% washout rate for new controllers. How do I know? I have 5 guys that just washed out for various reasons that cross-trained into my career field. Now i'm finished jabbering........good luck.....

Yea, it looked like a bitch to hold on......Only time I saw it I was flying the Cessna and had it slowed down to well below 70 kts................Just have to get some good grips.......it's cool when it works......

I've seen it done before... Exit speed needs to be slow as possible. Both jumpers are face-to-face, hold on tight, exit, and one dumps just off the step.....other climbs up on shoulders and well... does a huge swan dive off.........that answer it??!

Thanks for the replies.....Well, I thought that might be him. Saw his name somewhere. I flew some loads for him back in San Antonio many years ago on probably his first jump. Anyways, tell him Buck said hi.....and is he still in the Air Force or did he just go AWOL! Buck
