Why I love being an Army Wife

How sexy is that??

Seriously.  That's my man in uniform walking back from jumping out of a plane, with some other soldiers coming down behind him.  So awesome!!!

And while I love the 82nd Airborne Division, the Special Forces jumps are so much cooler.  Today he jumped out of a small plane with 8 guys jumping...the plane takes off and lands right infront  of you (10 minutes tops from getting on the plane to walking back to the crowd) rather than from Pope AFB and taking an hour to circle around before they jump out.  82nd jumps are still cool to watch, but much less efficient.

And jumping out of a Black Hawk....AWESOME!!!

And watching guys doing a HALO jump from 12500 ft...seriously, how many people can see that whenever they feel like it.

Dude landing


And what's really cool - this is 3 blocks from my house.  I can hear planes flying over my house right now!
