Great footage and story by your television station.

Hmm. Our exit drills are slightly different compared to the US paras. Amazing how they squeezed 1 month worth of training and jumps into like 10mins. Strange to say, i still fear high lol xD

YippY: I too am afraid of hights but made 56 jumps, including 6 HALO. Confidence in my training and equipment got me through. :jump:

Hooah! Super duper Paratrooper! SW, you reminded me of a BAC memory - Blackhat to students before first 250' tower jump: "You'd better not make me have to climb up there and cut you down - 'cause I'm SCARED of heights! Hahahaha...
