One of our own...
Achilles, an 18x BAC student, was injured on his 4th jump at BAC this week, yesterday I believe. The story is that he became entangled in someone else's static line during his exit of the A/C and has injured his arm extensively and is infact still in the hospital. I had spoken with him earlier in the week and he was due to graduate Friday and begin SFQC PH-1A on Monday.
I dont have any further details at this time, as this info was passed to me second hand by another 18Xer here who is in his BAC class. I will update it as I know more.
Please keep him in your thoughts and prayers.
Crip
