Other Memories Volunteered for Ranger training with the 101st Airborne, making the required two jumps to qualify. I froze at the door during my first jump, the jump master pushed me out with the ball of his foot and I started spinning as the chute opened, I was spinning head down almost all the way down. The people on the ground were yelling at me on the megaphone telling me to right myself, I was able to right myself before hitting the ground but instead of landing on my feet I hit the ground hard on my butt 5 miles from the drop zone. My next jump was a night jump, I ran out the door so I wouldn't freeze. I returned to my parent unit after completing my training.
