Flying through the air with the greatest of ease, it's the Leap Frogs performing a reenlistment ceremony! (It doesn't rhyme, but you get the point.) Last week, over the San Diego County backcountry town of Jamul, Navy SEAL Keith Pritchett administered the oath of enlistment to MC1 Michelle Turner. While free-falling towards the ground at a speed of 120 miles per hour.

Pritchett is the officer-in-charge of the Leap Frogs - the Navy's parachute demonstration team. According to the Navy:

The Leap Frogs are entirely made up of Navy SEALs and SWCC (Special Warfare Combatant-craft Crewmen) commandos.
