#13 is nonsense..... pfffft.. I mean I only made 98 jumps, graduated one of the hardest tech school in the Army..JUMPMASTER school, earned senior wings, jumped from 8 types of fixed wing, 3 types of rotor wing AC, jumped, landed on many objects not dirt to include HMMWVs, Ice, Snow, slush that was supposed to be snow, water that was supposed to be dirt, water on purpose (that was fun, except the part knowing you were jumping chutes that were at the end of their service life...) ....and I never tell anyone about my time as a Airborne jumper unless they ask, Im awake, I think it's a good story, or its on a day that ends in "y"

MAJ Private RallyPoint Member, this, of course, goes without saying!
Edit (17FEB17) - apparently two discussion threads were combined, because my comments don't match the discussion question. Furthermore, I don't see the 13 tell-tale signs!

#14) When someone asked you if you want to play Lawn Darts, you tell them you already jumped today.

#15) When you see a kid jump off a swing, you criticize their improper PLF upon their landing.
