In the last year since being back here in NC, Chris has gotten to do some really great military stuff. He's gone to a few different schools that have been amazing! He's had such cool opportunities and i couldn't be more proud of him. He went to air assault school where he learned to fast rope out of helicopters. No thanks! He also went to WLC, which is the Warrior Leadership Course and necessary for later promotions and stuff. He did great there, as always. Then he also got to go to airborne school. This has been his goal since getting here to Fort Bragg. I was sad to have him gone again, but I was thrilled for him to get the chance to finally get his wings. He loved every second of Airborne school and has since decided that jumping out of perfectly good aircraft is the coolest thing ever. Once again, may I just say No thanks!
He recently got to jump out of a chinook helicopter, which he had never done before. I guess the jump is a lot different than jumping out of an airplane. The coolest part was that the girls and I got to go see the jump. We hadn't been able to make it to any of his other jumps, so it was really fun!
This isn't Chris, but this is what the jump from a chinook is like. I guess there's like 6 seconds of absolute freefall before the cute opens. Again.. no thanks!
Now there's talk of another school for him to go to here pretty soon. We will see if it happens. Until then, I won't say too much. :)
