C-5s are HUGE... I wouldn't get nervous on the maintenance stands to repair engines, but a few times I had to get buckled up to learn how to do T-tail inspections... some of the scariest moments of my life. <br />I WANNA parasail, but I don't want a white-knuckled, hold-your-breath for minutes experience either. I'm also terrified of being in the middle of the ocean unless I'm on a cruise ship. And I'm a piss-poor swimmer.<br />Anyone with similar fears ever try it? I'm afraid I'd get buckled in then begin to scream for my life after being released 5 or 10 feet LOL...Ssgt Jessica Cokelyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08623031445004256283noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-69718788765876875092017-02-27T14:51:24.960-07:002017-02-27T14:51:24.960-07:00Thanks for the encouragement!

My fiance and I are thinking about parasailing while we're in Florida next week for my 30th birthday, and I could really use some fun and stress relief. What better time than my birthday / vacation to Florida? I'm afraid of heights and not a wonderful swimmer but with him by my side I think I might just have to try it =D Wish me luck!DncngKittenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04984459936902279225noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5910185897876102936.post-86433801956758246642013-08-16T09:48:33.380-06:002013-08-16T09:48:33.380-06:00Oh wow!

Because that's the only thing been holding me back from trying it. I can't swim and I don't want to drown. If that's the case, then maybe next time we get to the beach, I'll be brave enough to try it.
