I want to free fall out into nothing
Gonna to leave this world for awhile
And I'm free, I'm free fallin'
-- Tom Petty "Free Fallin'"
On March 13 (not a Friday this year) I jumped with SOCOM (Special Operations Command) -- sort of, and made my first free fall parachute jump. I say "sort of" because SOCOM remains blissfully unaware of my existence. I'm sure that the announcement that I jumped "with" them, is news to the good folks at Special Operations Command. But I'm getting ahead of myself. (Link)
