isn't 1000 jumps abit too much ? hahaah
more like 100 more believable. 1000... his ankle could have given way by now.
for the yellow backing, i guess he is fit to instruct. -
I totally respect him.Nice guy and a well-respected senior of the SAF.

if really is 1000 jumps, even if he jump everyday, it will take 3 years to finish.Originally posted by Ponders:isn't 1000 jumps abit too much ? hahaah

agreed. saw him quite a number of time when he come my camp to fetch his son. very nice, will wave to us when he drove by.Originally posted by LazerLordz:I totally respect him.Nice guy and a well-respected senior of the SAF. -
actually 1000 jumps is not too far-fetched lah... some of those past red lions have even 2000-3000 jumps to their name...

y can't we have more of such people in the SAF ;|Originally posted by Gordonator:agreed. saw him quite a number of time when he come my camp to fetch his son. very nice, will wave to us when he drove by. -
Yes I agree. God has decreed, one can only jump once a day. Never twice. Not to mention 3 times.Originally posted by Gordonator:agreed. saw him quite a number of time when he come my camp to fetch his son. very nice, will wave to us when he drove by.

yah, why not? i did it before too -
But then someone here mentioned that there was no credibility to the thousand jump claim, citing time constraint due to the number of days in active service.
You mean it is physically and logically feasible to jump more than once in a 24 hour period?
Oh WOW! -
Gordonator, tell all of them you can only jump once a day.
-
after 1st jump, walk to rv area, rackup another chute, wait for the next fright, all within 2 hours.Originally posted by crosshairs:You mean it is physically and logically feasible to jump more than once in a 24 hour period?
Oh WOW!
done that 3 times before. -
sorry. i'm no airbrone expert.Originally posted by crosshairs:Gordonator, tell all of them you can only jump once a day.
but i believe it's possible, if time is permitting, no reasons why cannot jump more than once right? -
Ah, my old RSM - he's a true gentleman. I only ever heard him swear once at the men, and he apologised for his language immediately after that.
1000 is not an unusual figure. WO Gunga's successor, WO Kurusamy, was a 5000+ jumper the last time I checked. -
Hehe.....wait for the next fright.....hahahahahah. How apt. So now we can all rest asure that our servicemen do not get badges without earning them.Originally posted by lion02:after 1st jump, walk to rv area, rackup another chute, wait for the next fright, all within 2 hours.

Have you seen santa claus jump out of a Puma before? There were things which we saw, but no one believed us..... -
Well, there was this rumour once that WO Kuru jumped without a freefall chute, and then linked up with another jumper who passed one to him. I've never had it corroborated, though.
