Not to belittle your service and courage, as a former USAF C-141a crew member (loadmaster) why would any one jump out of a perfectly good airplane.

As a C-141/a aircrew (pilot) I dropped only A/C parts. Several yrs. later while flying the Reservist's C-123 Thunder Pig we were an integral part of Ft. Benning's Ranger training jump school. Jump school was 5 days and scheduled 14 jumps. An active duty C-130 and C-141 were scheduled to join us and give the students practice in several different door-blast environments. One day our crew was fortunate to have an RAF exchange officer ride as an observer. Our un-pressurized, piston powered propellor driven A/C was totally foreign to him. After the first "stick" I turned to him and asked how he liked our A/C. He looked rather pale and said "Now I know why people jump out of an airplane!" We all laughed at his omission of two words.
