Question.

Has any military, US or otherwise, ever used BASE jumping in any way?

Yeah, for fun while on leave. Not in any Govt. Capacity though...

Speaking of the military...has anyone here ever undergone a DOD background investigation for a security clearance? I'm going to need a secret clearance for a possible new job and I'm sure it will come up. If you can shed some light, email me: mcm114(at)hotmail.com

Wow, I never thought of that. I was dropped from that tower back in 1985 as a young scraping Marine. (Damm I'm getting old) ;( Would that count as a BASE jump? You were dropped, you didn't jump. But it is a fixed object.
