    Paratroopers fly through the air after jumping from the tailgate of a C-130 Hercules airplane on Fort Bragg, N.C., June 11. The tailgate jump was part of the XVIII Airborne Corps Commanding General’s Retention Incentive Jump. “This is the best job in the world,” said Staff Sgt. Timothy W. Jeffrey, a career counselor with the 82nd Airborne Division, Headquarts Company. “We get paid to jump out of planes.”
