I knew the Navy hazes.... And yeah, love swimming, but too lazy.  It's called a swim call. We got to jump off the ship in the Indian Ocean last year. Did again this year, but it's a lot of effort for like 5-10 minutes of swimming (with 5000 people on board, they don't let you do much but swim right back onto the ship), so I didn't partake.

Dang. Well, still sounds like fun. Keep in mind, I'm imagining this happening off of an aircraft carrier.

However, it was from the hangar bay, not the flight deck (so about half the height). Still a hell of a drop. And we did have one guy get drunk in port and jump off the flight deck in his underwear.

Uhh... how high are these drops standardly?

I was guessing 100. That makes a lot more sense.
