charlesg 0 #1 October 13, 2003 I will be making my first tandem progression jump this Saturday. 47 years old, and have been listening to my father talk about his 82nd Airborne days long enough.. Can not stand it any longer.. Excitement for certain.. 116 hours and counting ! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

catfishhunter 2 #5 October 13, 2003 It will change your life! Enjoy the fear and anxiety while you can because once it goes away you will miss it. I didn't understand that when one of my instructors told me that but now I understand. Blue Skies! MAKE EVERY DAY COUNT Life is Short and we never know how long we are going to have. We must live life to the fullest EVERY DAY. Everything we do should have a greater purpose. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Jayruss 0 #6 October 14, 2003 Welcome!! My dad started jumping on my 18th birthday when he was 48. His only regret was that he didn't start at 18 like me. __________________________________________________ "Beware how you take away hope from another human being." -Oliver Wendell Holmes Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
