“Get ready!” he shouted.
“Stand up!” his men stands “hook up!” his men hook the parachute hook to the rail “equipment check!” he told his men to check their equipments.

‘I love the feeling when jumping through that gate… two more jumps and we’re qualified as Paratroopers’ he thought as he float to the ground.
