May 2019

I worked with a woman on a project for work and her hobby was sky diving...she had over 1,000 jumps mostly with a performance team.

I toyed with jump school between assignments, but figured it wouldn't do anything career wise being in logistics. I was TDY at Bragg when Grenada went down. It was fascinating watching the deployment on the Green Ramp. My team didn't get involved deploying the troops, but we assisted in arranging procurement and transportation of follow on supplies.
