Oh yeah. As a matter of fact my avatar pic was taken at Hanscom Field waiting to board a C-141 for a jump at Turner DZ at Ft. Devens.

There is nothing like jet jumps. On a C-130 you stand in the door.. It's windy but nothing anyone hasn't experienced on a stormy day in their back yard. On the 141 however jumpers approach the doorway at a 45 degree angle, hands covering the ripcord handle of their reserve. Once you got within a couple steps BAM, you were sucked right out like God grabbed you by the belt and yanked real hard.

Well thank you for your kind sentiment but the real thanks should go to those who gave life and limb for our country.
