One of my first assignments for my college newspaper was to cover weekend maneuvers with the Air Force ROTC.   When I boarded an ancient C-119 cargo plane for a training flight---my first time ever on a plane---a gruff sergeant strapped me into a parachute.  “What do I do with this?” I asked nervously.   “If we’re going down,” he said, “jump out of the plane and pull the rip cord.” “When do I pull the rip cord?” I yelled as he walked away.  “Before you hit the ground,” he called back.
