We are northwest of Atlanta. 2 minute call, 1 minute call and jumpers away on both approach and unicom. Unicom is more detailed.

I don't jump yet. Never really wanted to until I started dropping meat missles, but I am intrigued now. Maybe this summer.
I didn't get to jump myself either. First - I wanted that $10/load. Second - I was only months away going to OCS and didn't want to take the risk of straining or breaking anything It was good while it lasted though and the atmosphere around the school was a good time.
