Waterjump 2007

The good news is that this year's water jump will be a recruitment drive, and anybody who is jump qualified can jump.
Even if they are not on strength.
 
The jump will be held in Bloemfontein on 28 November 2008, retraining  and registration will be on 27/11/2008.

We will depart from Cape Town fort ikapa  by rented bus and two drivers at 19h00 on Wednesday 26/11/08.

On Thursday morning we will arrive in Bloemfontein and go to the mall for breakfast, you have a choice of mugg and bean or wimpy (yeach).
 
After a hearty breakfast we will depart for 44 for registration and retraining.The afternoon is spent catching our breath after hanging in harnesses,doing rolletjies,and a  2,4km (only joking). The evening is usually spent talking about everything from calculis to  k #k over a few well deserved milkshakes.

On Friday morning we will rise early enough to wake the sparrows,and after combing our teeth we will depart for Bloemspruit airfield.

The bus will drop us off and depart for the dam, usually the Rustfontein dam.

We will eventually emplane and head for the dam. Approximately 15 min flying time you will feel the rush that only a paratrooper will know.
 
On touchdown a smaartie in a rubberduck will attempt to pull your heavily waterlogged hide into the boat, after which he will proceed to take you to a pont located somewhere in the dam. When they have filled the pont, you will be taken to the waters edge where you will hand back your chute and nootie.

As your body is still filled with adrenalin, the only way to reduce it is to head for the bus and dig out a few milkshakes from the cooler box. The day usually is long and hot, so don't forget your sunscreen .

We usually end up having some pissing contest (like making a beached whale swim in a race against a provincial champ)  with our brothers from Durbs, but fun is had by all. If you can assist us with any other activity that we can give Durbs carrots, please let us know.
 
That evening we will burn meat and go to "the wild boar" a pub owned by a bat.

This year I will introduce you to a very interesting pub called  "the bunker" also owned by a bat .The rest of the night is up to you....
 
On Saturday morning we will surface and head for home,to a much needed rest.  We will arrive early evening.
 
Sunday ............much needed rest.
 
This is the kind of memorable trip that keeps us together as a brotherhood,and motivates us to looking forward to next year.
   
[ Lets dig out bats from the woodwork and make this a big one.]
