CLEP101, I knew there was a reason I didn't go Airborne - it was the ankles and back. It didn't have anything to do with my fear of heights or my thinking that jumping out of planes that were NOT about to crash for an extra $50 a month was for crazy people(present company excepted, of course!) I was worried about the folks I'd encounter in the Army when the recruiting station suggested I become an Airborne Radio something-or-the-other. (They lost me at airborne.) Sorry for hi-jacking the thread, but you just took me (unwillingly) down memory lane.
