I put the video in to illustrate a point - how military jumping is different to civillian. No matter how well train...

I hope this link works.
A picture paints a thousand words. I know they're Yanks and they're jumping "jet" by the looks of it, but the lessons are still the same. But if you've got a history asthma, then I don't think you'll be joining anyway.

Why not start a new topic for pissing contests, nationalism and the finer points of the World's ammunition calibres? This topic was looking like a useful way for the blokes to give gen sitreps fr...
