  • An interesting type of extraction called SPIES (Special Patrol Insertion/Extraction System) for the Coca-Cola 600 at Charlotte Motor Speedway. They had completed the Insertion via fast-rope earlier, but I did not have my camera ready then. Audio was garbage, but I managed to clean it up enough to be presentable at the very least.

I do have to say when my husband reached his 20 year mark and we discussed him retirement I do have to saynwas relieved when he did. I am so proud of our military men and women. However I do want to give a shout out to the military wives that stand behind their men and support them in all they do. I don't think people realize how hard it is to kiss your husband and wave as he goes off to fight for his country. To be home with the children most times in a different state then your family on your own. To hold you breath everytime you hear a knock or your doorbell. So being a military wife for 20 years stand strong your never alone. 🙏

    In Vietnam, we called it "riding the strings". I think the rope length was 160 feet. The placement of the harness was critical running between your legs. As once you where picked up there was no adjusting it. You did hide with your arms out, until you passed out. That would be about 10 minutes due to cutting off circulation from your femoral atrial.
