Daniel is in his last week of Airborne School. He has already been in Georgia for over 2 weeks and his ready to be done. The past two weeks have just been training using mock aircraft on the ground and towers and this week starts the fun stuff...........jumping out of real planes. He has two jumps today and two tomorrow and then does his last night jump on Wednesday. Thursday will be a down day and then they graduate Friday morning. Unfortunately, last Tuesday Daniel rolled his ankle pretty badly. He was frustrated because he injured himself as a result of another person in front of him not jumping out of the mock aircraft correctly. He ended up landing on him in the process and rolling his ankle. He's been icing it every night and taping it up at tight as possible in order to get through the rest of the course. Friday he had to complete a four mile run but luckily, this week, he doesn't have any PT. We've just got to keep our fingers crossed that he can land five times!!! Here's a picture he sent me this weekend of his ankle.
