my dad had to jump when he was in the military during Vietnam. He said it scared the shit outta him, even in peacetime. he was the 2nd guy in the stick, since they ordered them by height, with biggest in front. My dad was the tallest man in the company, while the captain was smaller but in front because, well, he was a captain oOo: . But he said it was an expierence and i think he broke his leg or something on a jump...i forget, i should ask him
