No apologies necessary, you can babble all you want. And congratulations
on making your first jump! Your comment about making two or three more jumps
next time you go out is an excellent idea. You will find that you learn much
faster that way, because any mistakes you make can be worked on immediately
on the next jump, while still fresh in your mind.
Something you said, however, puzzles me. You said that you and the
jumpmaster passed the pilot chute back and forth. What kind of system were
you using, and what was the deployment method? I'm not familiar with any kind
of system wherein the pilot chute is visible, much less handled, during exit.
Please describe, to appease my curiosity.
Keep us posted on your progress!
