I remember the first jump I made in Tolz. Col beck gave all us newbies a speech about how maneuverable the TBM chute was and no reason you should miss your damn mark etc etc etc.
We watched as he boarded the chopper, jumped at 2,500 and scooted all over the sky above the DZ.
And landed in a tree. The only one around.
Nobody said anything. The Smaj just glared at us. Good times.
