Special thanks to megatalented military romance novelist and my very own navy expert, Rogenna Brewer, for filling in those last-minute, impossible-to-find details! Any errors are mine and the glory is hers!

Special thanks also to Dr. Cynthia McCoy for not carting me off to the loony bin for asking, “I have this guy, and he needs to break his leg jumping from a helicopter onto the rolling deck of a ship. Can you tell me what kind of break it would be?”
