Yup. At one time I considered calling myself DopeRope.Dirtdart is a term of endearment for a paratrooper.
Not sure if it is a reference to the high level of intelligence shown by the average paratrooper or ?

I prefer " Dirtdart" over "Meat Bomb" which is a term some of my Afrikaans speaking friends use.Figure in all the adverse variables to a good jump, factor in "Murphy" and that sudden hard landing puts a jumper hard into the dirt. Feet and knees together and the jumper resembles a Dart speeding to, or into, the ground with a grunt or a whom.
Blast From the Past:
" I use to be 6 feet 6 inches tall with a baritone voice. Made my first parachute jump followed by a sudden hard landing.....and...Now I'm 5 - 10 with a high pitch scratchy voice."
I got lawn darted by one too many ranch broncs as a kid. I used to be 6’ but now I’m 5’6”.
I always landed on my head so my ankles are in great shape.Yeap....been put on my backside a few times by horses.
I eventually figured out that the ranch broncs were the perfect ground school for parachute training...I got lawn darted by one too many ranch broncs as a kid. I used to be 6’ but now I’m 5’6”.
