Soldiers from Davis and Joel Dental Clinics on Fort Bragg tandem jump with the Golden Knights before the Tandem Team Heads to New Jersey

Resident Dentists from Davis Dental Clinic and Soldiers from Joel Dental Clinic spent Thursday skydiving with the Golden Knights Tandem Team. For most it was the first time jumping out of an air plane. Some were afraid of heights but over came the fear and made the 2 1/2 mile jump. Everyone had a great time and learned a different meaning to Personal Courage, one of the 7 Army Values.

After the Tandems were down the Tandem Team began packing all of the equipment up to head out to Lakehurst New Jersey. The team will be there from the 3rd to the 7th of May conducting tandem jumps for “Center of Influences” for the army.
