We jumped from aircraft (or birds) not aeroplanes!!

I did jump school in 1955 at Ft. Bragg,but graduated SFTG in 1964,wish I could have had the "Tower" experience.....  There was no official SF training in the 50's........  The job I hated most at jump school was "rope man".....

Most others I know in SF experienced something similar. If, as you say, you HAVE searched and read, and you do not KNOW if this is the path for you --- it is not....
