Yeah, i know about the red devils and as soon as i've completed my first 2 years i'll be applying. I was more interested in whether i'd get any time to jump as a civvy at civvy dropzones. This is my passion and it would be great if i got enough time to continue

Are you already a soldier...?

Not ...

Enough Time to be a Skydiver?

Just a quick question really as it's something i've been wondering for a while. Will i be able to continue as a civilian skydiver 'when' i get in the paras? Obviously work commitments will always come first when i'm in but was just wondering if it still leaves time to do stuff like skydiving?

If he's going into the paras i sure hope he isn't in my section during basic!!

No doubt there will be people just like him though shouting their mouths off giving it the big 'I AM'

Should be interesting me thinks :lol:

Come on Flo, let the lad have his moment. It is his 18th after all. I'm sure if he tells his corporal that it's his 18th birthday he'll arrange something very special for the occasion!!! Who knows, maybe a nice little birthday cake with 100's & 1000's on top (possibly even chocolate if he's been a ...

It sure is, i know that each time i jump i have a rig attached to me with 2 canopies (1 reserve), if 1 doesn't open i know the other will. Fall from the trainasium on the other hand and you got no parachute anywhere in site.

All that said though, i think my mind has probably been warped as i find ...

I loved the trainasium section, i think its the one test that i'm looking forward to the most.

Isn't it meant to be a test to see whether you would have the courage to jump out of a plane or not? If so, i'm a skydiver and i know for sure that i'll be bricking it when it comes to going across. I ...
