Shane completed Airborne school a few weeks ago, and graduated with his new shinny wings! It was a three week course here at Ft. Benning that he thoroughly enjoyed. Though the hours were very long some days, he came home with a smile and fun stories of his adventures everyday. During the last week is when the students complete five jumps out of a plane to earn their wings. I was able to go watch him jump two different days and it was one of the coolest things I've ever seen. It truly looked like a movie with parachuters all across the sky! Though some soldiers landed in the trees, and injured themselves, Shane completed all five jumps successfully with only a few minor injuries.
That was a sequence of Shane's entire first jump. Do you feel like you saw the whole thing yourself? Pictures really don't even show how neat it was!

Ross was in town, attended graduation, and pinned on Shane's wings!
Way to go Shane!
We're proud of your accomplishments!
