That's a "hop and pop"? Don't take this as a dig. Seems to me that considering....clouds from 4000-2500 feet and you're dumping in 'em????? AND you haven't jumped since????? Sounds like your DZO and the DZ training staff need to re-think its' safety standards. Sheesh. Do you guys have a coaching program in place? Just curious.

Aggiedave and I jumped with a pretty good hole below us. By they time we pulled clouds had completely covered the ground. We both had to fly through a pretty thick cloud with absolutely no visibility. Luckily, it wasn't too thick, but yes, scary. Definitely don't want to repeat anything like that.

Tuck it down in your jump suit during freefall. Make the lanyard long enough to point it where you want under canopy. That way, if you drop it, it stays attached to you.
