Richard's $.02
I once did a jump with two others into the Fla. Everglades, static line, loaded with equipment. SGM said "You're jumping at midnight, no moon, etc etc etc. I replied, "Let me get this straight, you're making us jump static line into a gator infested area, loaded with equipment into the pitch black. Every body of water in that area has a gator attached to it. Should make a great headline the next morning."

We jumped at EENT instead.
