All of that shit scares you....the mark of a MAN is that you do the things that need to be done, no matter how much it scares you.

First Jump? I was too stupid to be scared, although I did get a bad case of brain cramps just prior to landing and rode in as I was pulling a forward slip? Yes I know, what a dumbass. I recieved a mild sprain to both ankles for my ignorance AND never did that again!

Slide for life is pure fun.
I'd agree with some of the others, in that; the fat chicks were some of the scariest things we ever did!

Fuckin A right.

First jump was a breeze... It felt as if I had been doing that shit my whole life. It's after that, then waiting 15 months to jump again that is really scarry...holy fuck.

Fuck, I don't remember my first jump - I just remember that, for the most part, jumping never scared me - it was the landings that terrified me.

We used to do the "helocast" for O-4 demos.
We'd also fill in as "dope on a rope" for D Co 4RTB and the first time we did it we didn't wear helmets.
CSM Spears was not partcularly amused till he found out I was rope master.
At least we had our drawers on!

At Ft. Bragg I was afraid once. One of the Sgt's in the platoon was getting married. We went to this club where he met his wife to be ( can't remember the name.. but called jeritol lounge as a nickname). I wasn't even 21 yet, I had a few months to go, but they let me in anyway. I was slamming them down, had the Beer goggles on and started having fun. Note that this place was dimly lit ( for good reason too..)

So this lady comes up and grabs my goods and we start dancing and etc, then start making out.The whole time they are egging me on to take her home, go home with her except this one guy. I am thinking "what the hell is his problem". Well after I pass out and get some sleep for an hour I wake up and start to sober up. This chick was [ at least 30 years older than me]

Now THAT was scary!

Just in case you thought we missed a chance to remind you...you have a habit of asking absolute pussy fucking questions.

Understood, but all of your questions have been...well, gay.
Perhaps you should consider an exciting career in finance or supply.
