How high is the trainasium exactly?? I was under the impression i can hack it (since i used to climb massively high trees when i was a kid :P ), and that it would be the parachuting that would cause me to buy a fresh set of underware.

Surely the parachuting is more scary than the trainasium..?

Never found jumping particularly scary when I did it. Hanging off the side of a Cessna in an open hatch, with only half your ass touching the plane, legs dangling, wind trying to pull you off, waiting to jump - that was a little more worrying...

So I can imagine trainasim might be worse than the actual jump, because at least with the latter you have a chute!

Trainasium is the easiest event on p-company. Heights are all in your head. So dont let your fears get in the way of you goal of passing p-company and that beret.

Whoah whoah whoahhh! Hold on there a min space cadet :evil:
We may be part of the Navy (the best part undoubtably) but that doesnt make us 'Navy boys'.A navy boy is a sailor.A Marine is a sea soldier.Enough said? :)
