I know the feeling. The one before the Assault course was hard, well thats what i thought untill the next morning where we were up at 5.30 and getting 'warmed up' for the log race when we were all aching like hell, i thought that was hard untill i did the one just before the Log Race

Its all good fun and i am looking forward to my go at it again in November. Well i wouldn't say hard but challenging, you stop way beyond the point of this is solid.

Yep shall see you there in November,, The Para sgt said that he might have the Jump tower up and running for us in the winter months so should be good..

Did you see the report that the Paras sent your AFCO??

No i wasn't allowed to see it, did you?? The AFCO said it was a very good report, thats the onny feedback i got. I am off to London this weekend to have a go of the Jump Tower in London Soldier '04, as well as see my family.

Nope i didnt get to see it either. Dont think it'l be that bad,, Had decent scores and didnt jack on anything. Jump Tower looks good mate..
Londons a bit to far for me though.. Have fun

Got1,, please don't mock the afflicted, well I don't know "A dope on a rope" thats a new one for a static line drop.

Tab,
I found my son's free fall records, and near the begining I remember seeing "bad exit and position, back to the dope rope". Have never let him forget it

Thats similar to mine. I was clasiffied as a 'good exit' but 'bad position', because my legs were bent at the knee. Looked good on the video we watched of it afterwards
