Well, tomarrow it will be twenty years since I made my first parachute jump as a young Marine at Ft. Benning. Looking back I never thought I would be freefalling objects the same height as those towers. Doesn't seem like twenty years.
Damn, does this mean I'm one of the old guys.

Almost, Rick did his first skydive in 1972. Still, we will let you be old!!!

I was born in 1972.

>>I was born in 1972. <<

Yikes, Tom, you're three years old when I first jumped . . .

Getting old my little Fishy

Thanks Nick. Here is a pic from back in the day.
I did finally go to Military Freefall School back in 1987 after I got to a Recon unit. Didn't want anything to do with the T-10 or MC1-1B after that.

Joy, I was only six back in 1972. I'm going to fight this getting old thing tooth and nail. Just like ,MUFF,MUFF,MUFF-He's my hero! Go Johnny!
