Hey all
Long time coming right?
Well Today I graduated from AIRBORNE school. Alot of running here and there... repetitious classes and trying to keep the goof ball to my left and right awake.
Now the important part... THE JUMPS!!! I got to jump out of a plane 5 times!!! IT WAS FUN!!!
First JUMP: Awesome We had a slight breeze and heat pockets ( pockets of hot air in the sky) which cuase a slower decent. Got to sit in the air for about 20 to 25 seconds of glorious peace. Calmness utter holiness. My landing was with no doubt awesome.
Second JUMP: No breeze a cooler day cuz for faster decents. Definatly not a sweet as the first time. As far as the landing goes... BAD!!! FEET KNEES SIDE... Not good. It should be feet calf hip butt side. KNEES HURT AFTER THAT ONE.
Third JUMP: An extra 20 pounds of combate equiptment on plus the knees hurting was bad stuff. IT was the same day as the 2nd jump which means I fell fast again but landed well so all is good.
Fourth JUMP: First thing out the plane my glasses fly off... my only eye correcting lenses. I get over it quickly being i really have no coice. It was an average rate of desent and I landed well so all was good... minus the glasses.
Fifth JUMP: The wind picked up considerally which cuase an incease in speed. I WAS FALLING LIKE A ROCK!!! To add to that I was heading towards a ditch which probably would have hurt... about 10 feet from the ground a STRONG gust of wind lifted me up about 5 or ten feet which cleared me of the ditch and slowed me down. Follow that up with a great landing and it was my most favorite jump.
Thanks you God for the safety and lessons learned.
Cont. to pray for all of you dealing with the Hurricanes that love Louisiana. Remember Nov. 30 ends the season.Not TOOOO far away.
