No stars or moon ...nothing ...just darkness... the DZSO (Drop zone safety officer) had NVGs (night vision goggles) and said he tracked me to the ground from about 2000 feet... my reserve partially opened which was all I had left. Hit the ground going 45 miles per hour and suffered a crushed tailbone, bulged L$ and compressed L5 vertibre. No surgery so far...but some days its nearly impossible to tie my freakin shoes...other days I feel like a kid again... But I tell you one thing Deca works wonders for my back... wish I could stay on the stuff 24/7 for life! :-D
