:25:03
But you're my friend, ain't you?
Don't let me freeze.
:25:06
If I stick, they'll kick me out, you hear?
:25:08
Miggleori...
:25:09
I ever tell you about the time
I froze in the door in Fort Benning?
:25:13
- You, sir?
- Sure. Oh, boy.
:25:16
I think it was about my fourth
or fifth jump.
:25:18
Anyway, about five minutes
before it was time to go...
:25:21
I felt myself starting to get the shakes.
:25:23
I got up to the door,
I wanted to go and I couldn't.
:25:27
I froze just like a cigar-store Indian.
:25:30
There I was, like that, looking down.
:25:33
My brain kept saying to me,
"Go on. Jump, will you? Jump!"
:25:35
Couldn't do it.
:25:37
Finally, I got so sore at myself,
I said to myself:
:25:39
"If you don't jump,
when I get you back on the ground...
:25:42
"I'll drill a hole right through you.
Understand?"
:25:45
I guess I got so scared
at the idea of shooting myself...
:25:48
I jumped in self-defense.
:25:51
Take it easy. Everybody gets
a little nervous in the service.
:25:54
Have a cigarette. Would you like
a nice, stiff shot of bourbon?
:25:57
- Yes, sir!
- So would I.
:26:05
Ten minutes!
:26:13
Ten minutes more, sir.
:26:19
Stand up.
:26:24
Hook up.
:26:32
- Williams.
- Yeah? Excuse me, please.
:26:35
I know you're an old hand at this...
:26:37
but just to refresh your memory
here's what you do.
:26:40
You hook this on up here, like that.
:26:42
- You hang on to it till you leave the plane.
- Yeah.
:26:45
When I say, "Stand in the door,"
you get in line behind me.
:26:48
- When I go, you go. You got it?
- Yeah, I got it.
:26:50
That's about all there is to it.
Step out with your right foot first...
:26:53
like you're reaching for a bar rail.
Your static line will do the rest.
:26:57
It'll open your chute for you.
:26:59
When you get near the ground,
keep your knees and feet close together.
