BASE and Military Applications

[divot]

Question.

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

[Slick]

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.
