What fun things did you do in your younger days? I've done a lot over the years but the most fun I had was skydiving with over 3000 jumps. You could work out your anxieties....and skiing is always fun

I used to enjoy potholing with my dad, I remember 1 particular cave in the uk, the exit was via a rope ladder up a waterfall. The water cascading down as we climed up/through it. There was a dinghy above where they pulled us out the water. Ahh, those were good times. Cracking pictures btw, I was complete opposite to you. You went up to come down....I went down to climb up!

Wow, 3000 + jumps, very impressive. I managed to qualify for this in the sixties.
A lot of jumps, all with military chutes and equipment. I think I had around 70 jumps. Back in those days I was young, foolish and indestructible.

Not quite 3000 jumps, but I made 500 sport jumps many years ago. Me in the bottom right. Have also been hang gliding and white water rafting.
That looks very impressive. But I had to work with the “Stand up, Hook up, Check the guy in front of you ….” jump master. No free fall, well maybe 20 to 30 ft or so

And rounds! Is that a modded T10? I jumped only squares.That looks very impressive. But I had to work with the “Stand up, Hook up, Check the guy in front of you ….” jump master. No free fall, well maybe 30 to 40 ft or so
Indeed T10 was the standard in the 60’s, I think the “B” model was introduced in the mid 70’s.
My first 8 jumps were all from a UH-1 (Huey helicopter) and were static. My first jump was at West Point.That looks very impressive. But I had to work with the “Stand up, Hook up, Check the guy in front of you ….” jump master. No free fall, well maybe 20 to 30 ft or so
That sounds a lot better than my three week jump school at Benning.
So....if I mentioned "Beat your boots!" Or "Check can of beans!", you'd know what I am referring to huh?
Yes Indeed, hands on waist, feet apart and touch them boots. The BAD BOY Routine,
Spent a lot of time sailing with the family
