And these are the parachutes you're going to fold.
It's going to be on your back, and you're going to jump with it.
So those were no-weed Wednesdays.
So now after six weeks of our intense training, it's time to jump out of an airplane.
And so as a new jump cadet, you have to go up for an observation ride to make sure it's a good idea for said cadet.
And so they pile me in the back of a small plane.
We get up to jump height, about 3,000 feet.
Three people pile out of the airplane.
That's when reality hit this hippie in the face like a pie.
I'm going, holy shit, man.
I want to go back to the gym and just jump off of the bleachers again.
And so we land, and I just sprint to the jump shack, and I call my father on the pay phone, and I go, Dad, I mean, I'm in a pickle here.
And...
And so he listens, and there's a fatherly pause.
And my father says very clearly, son, you get your ass on that plane and out of that plane, no excuses.
And I mean, that was like, well, no help here.
And just then, the leprechaun comes up to me and goes, well, Mr. Airborne, are you going to jump or are you a chicken?
And I go, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah, ah.
I want to be first out on a watch.
It freaks me out.
