My dear sister knew a couple of people who had died in helicopter crashes and thought I was entering a very dangerous occupation.
Your Sis. was spot on!
I once. had a Life Insurance Salesman drop by the house during one of my Leaves.....he was thinking of selling me a Policy.....right up to the point the learned I was headed back to Vietnam flying helicopters in combat.....at which point he closed his briefcase...stood up...and informed me even if the company would approve the policy I would not be able to afford the cost and walked out the door.
