Airborne School
Many people have skydiving on their bucket lists, however my first time jumping out of a perfectly good plane wasn't for pleasure, but rather because it was required. The jumpmaster opens the door of the C-130, wind rushing by our faces as we make our way to the exit. As I take a leap out of the door, count to four seconds and check my parachute. I look around and it’s quiet, no sounds except your own thoughts as you fall back to the ground from 1200 feet. You prepare to hit the ground, not knowing what to expect, just relieved you survived your first airborne experience.
