JustChuteMeNow 0 #127 July 25, 2007 1978 at the Ft Benning School for Boys T10 round with capewell harness, static line jump from a C141 with a couple of hundred other new jumpers. I was the first one in the door and the jumpmaster told me I was going to fall hahahahahaThink of how stupid the average person is and realize that statistically half of them are stupider than that.

Jumpervint 0 #130 July 25, 2007 Quote April 1, 2000 was a bad day for me. So on April 1, 2001 I changed my karma by attending AFF groundschool. Too windy to jump that day, but April 7, 2001 I did my level 1. Went our every weekend and jumped when it wasn't too windy, got my A license in September. My life is great now. GREAT. It may just be coincidence, but I think the skydiving did it. Still got my family and most of my stuff too. I wish Deuce had read this ealier this year. My first jump was July 3rd, 1971, Deer Park, WA. I was 17. Used miltary gear - round and belly wart type stuff. Of course. Lots of layoffs and returnings. I'm almost to 600 jumps. Vint. . . . .
