Naw, sorry guys, but that's me on my way to play golf in the Lowcountry. Think I missed the First Tee DZ by a few feet. Damn t-10's...never could get them to steer properly!
Pack...the gator bait!

Amendment to 1:
1a When landing on another guy's chute, run like hell, you're in trouble, not him. (been there, done that) 7 (or 6, or whatever) When landing in water, make sure BOTH boobs on that stupid Mae West are inflated BEFORE you hit. 7a: When jumping in water, don't land so close to the boat you can hang an arm on the gunwale. 8. When landing on a DZ with a strong crosswind, don't undo both Capewells, you will be chasing your chute clear to Alabama. Or the nearest barbed wire fence. 9. When jumping a Huey and your chute hangs up on the skid, don't crap your pants, it may be the deciding factor for those thinking about pulling you back on board. 10. When landing in trees, don't release your gear. Its very disturbing to pass your ruck hung up in the top of an 85 foot tree when you only have a 25 foot drop line. Expect a firm tug on the crotch straps at any minute. 10a: When landing in trees, keep your feet together. 11. When you somersault through the risers, don't expect your toggles to work right. 12. If the guy beside you firmly believes there will be a truck on the DZ where he can exchange his chutes if they both fail, try and get to the other end of the stick. 13. Don't ask a female blackhat to check your crotch straps. All of these are spoken with the voice of experience. Rotorwash
