    right.. im not scared of hights bt would find jumping out of a plane very scary. my quetion is... how many times a year do you jump out of a plane as a para if there is a average*(crap spelling) i did my 1.5 mile run in 8:59 on pre-selection today and was told i was good enough to be considered for paras which i have always wanted to do. and what heights do you jump from?
    i now this is silly lol
    thanks

    Why are you so worried about heights?If I were you I would be more worried about the chute not opening and the horrifiying prospect of knowing your life is at its end,just before you land at 200mph and turn into blood spurting entrail heap.

    I'd be more worried about your platoon using you as a wank sock then throwing your lifeless body in a skip.
