The build up to the jump
Will your ass so puckered up
You wouldn't be able to pound a greased BB
Up your butt with a Ball Peen hammer
Get to the plane you will be shaking
Like a chiahuaha on an ice skating rink
As the plane gains altitude your heart rate
Will double, your legs will feel like you had
Just run a marathon. Green light flashes
The Jump Master gives the signal to stand up
And hook up. You check the guys chute in front
Of you, the guy behind you checks yours
Green light goes solid!! The moment is now!!
Your legs feel like lead as the paratroopers
In front of you shuffle to the door. The troopers
Behind you are forcing you forward. The wind is
Roaring like a run away train, you are at the door
If you lock up the Jump Master will shove you out
If you resist, you will be fucked with when the bird touches
Down. That fear overtakes your other fears!!
You keep moving to the door and the Warrior Soul
Takes over! You are at the door, the Jump Master
Gives you a quick look to see if there is panic
In your eyes. There is little fear in you. You take the last
Step, throw a nod at the JM as he gives you a final
Shove. Your eyes are closed tight. You count to 4
Which seems like 40. You hear the wind, you hear your
Heart beat. You hear your internal countdown
2....3.......ffffuck!!!! 4!!!! WHOOSH !!!
The chute opens!! The harnass snaps tight around your
Shoulders and nuts
It's the Greatest Feeling in the World
As all your senses are magnified as you
Soar with the Eagles. You look around
And see your Warrior Brothers float
To Terra Firma
It feels like it won't ever end
And you don't want it to
After what seems like an eternity of
Defying gravity, Gravity speeds up
And it can be your friend or enemy
100 feet ... 75 .... 50 ....fuck!! I'm moving to fast!!
40,30, 25... Release your tethered gear
15...10 arms and elbows up, knees together
IMPACT!!!
Don't lock your knees,hit the ground, tuck, roll
You did it !! You are Airborne MF!!
