Nowjamessays 1 #1 November 4, 2015 I Spent a few years at ft Bragg jumping military static line. I moved to Texas where there aren't any airborne units. I missed jumping so much I decided to give skydiving a shot. Might of been the best decision I've made in my life Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nowjamessays 1 #4 November 5, 2015 Not very far, a whole 18 jumps. I'd be done if the weather wasn't so bad lately. The staff at dz are probably surviving on ramen noodles and cheap beer at the moment. I don't think they've been able to get the plane up for a few weeks now.

I missed jumping so much I decided to give skydiving a shot. Might of been the best decision I've made in my life Skydiving with square parachutes is sooo much better than static line round jumps. Enjoy! And the best part is . .. you already are expert at PLFs. You can teach some of the class. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
