Thrill-seekers are usually overachievers, and the military pushes for and rewards achievers... QED

My Squadron Commander ordered me and my buddies to stop sky-diving without permission. (I think he enjoyed the gravitas though) :^)

Agreed— While it raises the hackles of the progressive and effeminate male politician suicide remains a factor associated with the homosexual lifestyle choice.INDEED a majority of those deaths deemed “suicide” may not be rightly associated with homosexual behavior— but that does not change the fact
spoken of earlier.

Since my bud never went skydiving (nor have I) and you’ve done both, I’ll take your word for it. The closest I ever got to skydiving was military reserve training when we free jumped from 6 feet up— the distance which supposedly simulated a sky jump landing. Never, ever land in a way which could twist an ankle— roll to your backside and let it absorb the impact if necessary.
