  1. The thing with PLFs is to practice them over, over and over. When I was in AF pilot training we spent a whole day doing them (probably >300) until it was automatic. Problem for me know is I learned them with my hands on the riser buckles (round parachutes). I can do PLFs still but can't get my hands in the down flare position. I'll have to relearn to keep my hands down.
  2. It does hurt. The one time I jumped naked all that flapping gave me a knee injury!
  3. I flew in the Air Force and had great training. If you're interested you can't beat it. I think the commitment is up to 10 years now which is way more than when I went through. The flying is excellent but the life is not for everyone.
