Eric,
Congratulations on your first jump! And welcome to the sport. Sounds
as though you truly enjoyed your experience.
You're right about us being a minority. Activity on this net is very
slow, so if you have anything to say, say it! Tell us about your jump(s),
ask questions, seek advice, or anything else that comes to mind.
By the way, the reserve you used was probably also military surplus,
(I assume), and was likely to be a 24' round -- sometimes called a T-10A.
You'll get used to hanging from that strut after you do it a few times.
I will admit, though, that I prefer to 'bomb-out' the door. You'll get a
chance to try it after you've mastered the art of stability.
Always glad to see new names on the net, so keep us posted. Blue skies!
