  Description:

  in  full parachute equipment, waits while a training instructor adjusts her

  pulled  behind a moving vehicle to simulate a parachute jump from an
  airplane in an  emergency situation.  The parachute creates the backdrop
  for this photo.   Ochoa, along with 22 other ASCANs, participated in this
