Pvt. Carol Sue Hynd
Enjoys Sky Diving
In a letter to the Gazette
Times, Pvt. Carol Sue Hynd of
the WAC, daughter of Mr. and
Mrs. Herb Hynd of Cecil, enthus
iastically describes her exper
fences parachuting and sky
diving. She took the parachut
ing as part of her WAC train
ing and now has become fas
cinated by sky diving.
Writing from Fort Ord, Calif.,
where she is now stationed, she
says:
"I am writing this letter in
deep appreciation of my home
town paper. It keeps me inform
ed plus giving me the feeling
of being close to home.
"At this time I would like to
give you and my friends a look
at what I am and have been
doing.
"As you know, in September I
joined the Women's Army Corps.
I enlisted in Spokane, Wn., and
was flown via jet to Fort Mc
Clellan, Ala., for eight weeks of
basic training. Upon completion
of basic I was sent to Ft. Sam
Houston, Texas, to be trained in
the medical field. During my
stay in Texas I became inter
ested in parachuting. 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). "On March 2 I completed my
first phase of training in the
medical field and was sent to
Fort Ord for my final training
period. Here at Fort Ord I have
joined the Monterey Buy Sport
Parachute club. It is different as
it is sky diving, not plain jump
ing. Also, here we leave the
plane at 3000 feet. (Quite a
thrill!)
"The week of March 23 I had
the pleasure of being able to
show my mother and father my
army home. It was wonderful to
see them again as I have the
most wonderful parents in the
world.
"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

lowing me this letter. May God
Bless Each and Every One of
