jake7030 0 #1 March 13, 2007 Went skydiving this past weekend with some ROTC buddies and we had a blast. For the most part we kept calm and collective and then once I found myself staring out the door it became real. I want to thank my jumpmaster for a great ride. I didnt have the best exit though, totally forgot to arch my back and keep my legs together, but he quickly corrected us. If funds were available I would get certified, but I will defintly go a couple more times and have been spreading the word to get more people involved. Thanks Jake Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jake7030 0 #5 March 17, 2007 The rush was so amazing I can honeslty say I do not remeber the first 2 or 3 seconds. I guess I was just so overwhelmed, not scared, just in awe of what I was doing. We are gonna try to get the rest of our field training class (12 people) to go as a group next time, instead of my lonely self. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
