Right back at ya, bro. There are a lot of things I worry about before each jump, but none of them have ever had to do with the aircraft. Every time I leave a plane I know without a shadow of a doubt that I will get a green light at the exact right time, when the plane is where it’s supposed to be, and at the speed and height where it should be. When I get done thanking Jesus on the ground, my next batch of thanks always goes to you aircrews dudes and the parachute riggers.

Thanks guys, for the stuff you do.

These SEALS live in some pretty rarified air and they do stuff in training that has a better than average chance of killing most people. Sometimes, it kills them too. If training weren’t dangerous... It ain’t training.

You have had more better and consistent experiences with Air Force pilots than some of us.
