    I stopped counting my jumps when I got this. Sometimes I wish I could find my jump logs, there were some good memories on there.

    Jump school in 93. On status 96-98 and 02-05.
    Lot’s of cool jumps, plenty of crappy ones too. Favorite aircraft was the CH-47, least favorite had to be the C-5.

    5 jump commando here. Went thru the 3 weeks at Ft. Benning as an Army ROTC cadet in Jan 1985. 43rd herd. -10F on first day of jump week. First jump delayed 2 hours while cadre scrounged the whole base to find cold weather gear for two dozen marines in the class who didn't bring any. Ironically, no one even noticed the cold once under an open chute; everyone just enjoyed the view.
