The Army training kicked in

[Grut]

“The Army training kicked in,” Pharr said. “I knew I needed to get down.”

Oh, getting down wasn't the problem. ;^)

Seriously, good job.

...the toggles on the parachute to try to steer it toward the ground.

Is there something you do not understand about parachutes, April?

He obviously wasn't a liberal. If he had been, all the observers on the ground would have noticed would have been a wailing prayer to Obama followed by a resounding thud.

Instead, his incident served as a great practical demonstration of conservative principles. He recognized and acknowledged the nature of the problem (rather than pretending it didn't exist) and took personal responsibility for getting himself out of the predicament. Quite different approach and outcome from those, oh let's say, at the Superdome, who were a short walk from transportation but instead decided to wait for the government to come get them. Didn't turn out too well as I recall.

Wowzo. Thanks geo. Got himself safely to Earth, then performed CPR. Well done.

Sounds like this guy’s missed his calling at Fort Gordon. He needs to apply to Airborne school.

Q: How do you get down from a parachute?

A: You don't. You get down from a duck.
