Good evening beachers.:)

Long day but I did get a nap in while GD napped. :)

The brother that was going down to AZ with me is getting out of the hospital today. He had to have surgery and now got about 6 weeks recovery time ahead of him.

On the exciting front, my niece parachuted out of a plane today. Her first time!!!

    Me too. Last few weeks have been something else. 8-o

    Niece is very adventurous. Single right now so letting those wings fly. She was attached to someone who knew what they were doing...... I hope. Still waiting to hear if she made it down okay.

    Another 6 weeks! 8-o I hope he heals quickly and perfectly.

    I'd love to parachute out of a plane. I used to want to do it more than now, but I still know I'd enjoy it. :)

    They could attach a Zip Line to the plane for you. :lol:

    They don't let you go by yourself at first. You need to have a few jumps before they'll even consider it. These people are generally very good, so you shouldn't worry.

    She just wanted to jump once, I think. It actually sounds like fun but my stomach wouldn't handle it very well.

    I used to be totally fearless (and senseless! :lol:). Now that I'm getting a bit older and more aware of human fragility, I worry about the landing a bit. But the jump and ride down would be akin to riding a motorcycle, to me. A feeling of Freedom.

    Dad was in the Navy also on the Midway :)

    They don't take people with hearing problems :(
    I was a rough & tumble girl tho' ;)

    I didn't get the job I wanted because of my hearing problem. I wanted to be a Aviation Electronics Mate, but they said I couldn't hear the Sonar Bleeps, so I was given Aviation Electrician's Mate. They normally work on batteries, light bulbs, and wiring, etc. on an aircraft, but I still got to work in electronics. I worked on a Computer Navigation System for the aircraft.

    I was lucky and didn't have to go on a Aircraft Carrier. The plane I worked on didn't have a tail hook. It was a Search and Rescue plane that also did Antisubmarine Warfare. They dropped sonobouys to find them and reported their positions. This is the aircraft . . .
