I've thought about it. But, I've been told I'm too large to do the required tandem jumps.

I did a few right after I got out, to much assgrabbing going on. The ones that have never jumped in the military made it to be such big shit. Didnâ€™t want to put up with them and most didnâ€™t seem very safe.

The only thing I jump from that is higher than a curb is a diving board into a pool. I learned awhile back that when you gain more weight than 275 lb, you need a custom chute that cost about 2500 american dollars.

True, anything over 250 and you have a problem getting a chute. But 2500 is still pretty cheap for a chute.

I've been doing civie jumps the past eight year, stopped counting after about year five. Would guess around the 3000 mark, but nothing beats jumping out in the middle of the night with a 100 lb ruck between your legs, a weapon straped to one leg and having the guys chute that went out the right hand door running across your body.
Ah, the things that tighten up the old butt hole.
