How I did it: My friend asked me if I wanted to go and make a jump with him and even offered to pay for it, so I jumped at the chance, went out that day, took the class and made my first jump. The next day, I went back and jumped again. Since then, I have made 13 jumps. Read how I did it…

I’m gonna start looking around and find the rest very soon.
I have already spent 6 years in the Army Reserves and have deployed to Afghanistan. I didn’t go out on the best of terms (I was an idiot,) and I don’t want my service to be marked by that. I love the Army and miss being able to serve my country in a way that I couldn’t in any other way. I have been talking with the recruiters about rejoining for the past week and things look like they are about to happen.
