We arrived Bømoen five minutes before schedule, meaning perfect timing! After a tour of the field and house, we checked in and signed all the official documents. Then it was off to the shops to get some food for the barbeque. Medical check took about an our with heavy breathing, hard work and a nice chat with the nice doctor. We are all officially fit enough to jump out of a plane! This place is an amazing one, good people and lots of knowledge. We've just finished a nice meal, two pints and a chat with a fellow student and his mate - and now we've been sent to bed. Which is slightly difficult as there are about 25 people sitting in front of a big bonfire with a beer in hand, right outside our window. Just earlier we soon figured what it means to be a fresher: someone shouted "kasse!" from somewhere and everyone jumped up and over the tables and ran for their lives. We just sat there and thought "what the hell..?". Then we learned our first skydiving code: Kasse means you have to buy a case of beer, set it out and shout "kasse" so the 24 first people on site get a free beer from you. Then they thank you and congratulate you, or whatever is suitable for the reason you put it there. This is apparently something we have to do when we graduate. We're in there mate! Now we need to get a good night sleep, as we start our training at 7 in the morning. We've been told it will be a long and painful day. But are we happy and psyched? Oh yes!
