I even managed enough courage to make several jumps from 1400 feet. (I fell in love with jumping just like my father and his fish ing).

It is different as it is sky diving, not plain jump ing. Also, here we leave the plane at 3000 feet. (Quite a thrill!)

"As for the army, dear editor, it Is wonderful. Uncle Sam feeds me, clothes mo, trains me, and pays me. I am being trained as a 'scrub' technician for surgery. I love my work and have 'scrubbrd-in' on many opera tions. In the Army we work hard (I in surgery) and we play hard (my jumping) and most of . cs -?.J PVT. CAROL S.
