As an Air Force medic none. I am not sure I have the stones to jump out of a perfectly good airplane

Just 5. Every one a free-fall, no static cord. Scared me every time.

Sir, I am a triple digit midget in the terms of tailgait jumps.

87, so far.
The better question would be, "How many JFEs?" I'll take a C-130H over Geronimo DZ, with 80lbs of crap between my legs, any day of the week. Too many folks padding their jump logs with A/NT garbage. Who wants to jump out of UH-60s and CH-47s with MC-6s anyways? At least that's what a 1SG in the Division is supposed to say. My ankles, knees and back tell a different story - and really, I love a good, fun whirly bird jump.
