I'm alive! Oh God I'm alive.
....to quote myself once I checked my canopy and opened my eyes.
That school was.....unpleasant. Back to the basic living standards, cold weather, rain, running everywhere and tight equipment.
But I made it. My buddy that came with me from our unit wasn't so lucky and ended up with a broken femur, a metal rod and two screws.
Jumping was a rush though and once I made that first one I was ready for the second.
The posts about the training being good are absolutely right. It might seem unnecessary but it might come into play and if it does you'll be ready.
I managed to land on someones canopy and had to run off just before my chute fully collapsed due to the lack of air above the other jumper.
Well, now I'm off to have a nice relaxing and well deserved shave.
aaaaaaAAAIRBORNE.

Hey congrats, good to see you back!
When plummeting to the earth at 120mph tight equipment is a good thing
Glad you made it

I swear parachute harness' were designed by a crack team of eunuch engineers.
Congratulations!!
I've never done it, but I've wondered about that. Congratulations!
Congrats!
Yes, but better than a loose harness, and having one of the "boys" settle under the strap. Talk about opening shock!
Blood wings?
Is that where you get the wings stuck in your chest? I seem to remember a practice from a while back with SEALS doing a similar thing.
Anyways WELL DONE mate, one of the few.
