58 Army static line jumps. I was Jumpmaster Qualified and had Senior Wings. C-130, C-141, C5A, C-7, CH-47D, and some kind of Fokker (one time). I would not do it now as I would probably shatter my legs on impact. You hit hard with those T-10's!! My standard night landing was feet, ass, head LOL!! Worst jump was on Njimegan; was twisted bad, real bad, ripped my helmet off of my head. I didn't think I would have my ears on when I hit the ground. I was the last jumper, the Jumpmaster and was first on the ground while everyone else was still 250 ft up. I remember I was moving from right to left at a good clip during the descent and going in without a helmet, I told myself if I don't get hurt this time, I will never get hurt. I slammed sideways into a creek bank with no PLF. That probably saved my noggin.
