Snicker.  Yeah.

My 'sample' doesnt say all that can handle heights have this training, only 
that i have noted all who can, mostly have had it.  Many without those classes 
handle heights well.

Critical is those who have *not* (or self report they didnt do well at them) 
are lacking in that area.

I might add my idea of 'head for heights' is not the norm.  My term includes 
what others would think of as 'extreme'.  

You've seen us antenna apes go at it.  Them radar folks have platforms and the 
best we can hope for, is a yardarm (about 6 inches wide at the outer end on 
most ships, at best 12 at the mast-head and then narrows down on most ships).
