Quote from: M3ta7h3adAnyone thought of doing it?

The thing with skydiving is that unlike most things in life you really want those strings attached otherwise it goes all pear shaped, or rather splat shaped.

har har

I dunno.. just got a major urge to do it. I was looking at local TA Units other than the signals lot that im considering joining and came across these guys:



Notice anything odd about them from a normal army unit aside from the red cross armband?

Theyre C144 (parachute) medical squadron (volunteers)

The only airborne medical squadron in the entire UK, designed to support 16 air assault brigade. Rather tempted to give them a look in lol.

Skydiving rocks  

I did it when I was 18.. I sort of won it in a raffle most amazing experience Ive had!

The thrill of falling a 10,000 ft in 50 secs (ish) is amazing, granted when that canopy opens you do get a feeling of relief, but even with the canopy open the remaining ride back down to the ground rocks! the views are amazing!

If you get a chance in life to do it at least once id do it!!

:D:D

really want to do i again, but would rather learn to fly now... Ive probably got about 22hours flying to my name, but ive never solod so ill have to start from scratch now but from the flying ive done it rocks, it is up there with skydiving !!!
