Tandem Free Fall Jump with the Golden Knights US Army Parachute Team

On April 8, 2009, I had the honor of participating in a tandem jump with the US Army Parachute Team. My jump master's name is Noah, and he did a super job instructing me on the jump to ensure that I thoroughly enjoyed every second of it. As a member of the Fort Bragg Culinary Arts Team, myself and several of my teammates were selected to jump with the Golden Knights after winning the 34th Annual Military Culinary Arts Competition in Fort Lee, VA. The opportunity for this jump was available to our team only and gave us an extra incentive to bring home the title of "2009 Installation of the Year." This was my second tandem jump but the first time with the Golden Knights. My first jump was over 15 years ago, at a jump school in California. And though I enjoyed my first jump very much, this experience was, by far, the better of the two jumps. I had a blast, and by watching the video, you'll see that I had a big ear-to-ear grin the entire time!
