Good for him, but when I got out of the Army I never had the desire to make another jump.

My brother was in the 82nd Airborne in the late 50's/early 60's.When he got out he continued jumping in competitions for a while.

Not every paratrooper will admit this, but I will be honest. I was scared every time I made a jump. I never got to the point I liked it. It was just part of the job that paid an extra $55 a month.
