NickyC. wrote:Sorry it took so long to reply I was too busy on the best detail available to the airborne soldier......Chute shake-out!! but anyway, that first jump is one I dont think I'll forget. Especially being the breakoff man for my chalk. When they give the "standby" command and your just staring out that door, its a feeling that made me all warm and fuzzy inside. And then of course "go". Overall It was pretty F*ckin cool. My grandfather pinned my wings on. He was with the 101st in the Battle of the Bulge so it brought back some good memories from when he came through Airborne.
We are getting picked up for R.I.P. this week between tues. and thurs. so that should be a blast. I'll keep you all up to date.

Damn proud of ya boy! My first jump, right after hitting the ground, I started patting it repeatedly, to make sure it was really there.
