Wife's 1st jump

I do admire them that do without having to do laundry immediately after landing.

hehe... that's not always the case... I remember a guy who had 500+ jumps when he was asked to video a jump for a 4 man team. since he had just landed and they were on the flight that was boarding, he had to borrow a student chute... student chutes use ripcords.. his personal chute used a bottom of container throw out to deploy the chute... he couldn't find the throw out to deploy his chute (because it wasn't there..it was a ripcord DOH!) and he was fighting it all the way down... at 2000 feet the CYPRESS fired the reserve for him (gotta love those things)... he landed real fast hopped up and informed everyone he was in need of a change of clothing ....

That's one time where patience is NOT a virtue!
