RickNC 0 #1 August 13, 2008 Hello all. I started in about 97 and earned my A license in Raeford, NC and jumped with the 82nd Airborne Parachute Club. Due to overseas assignment I left the area and never got back into the sport. I realized at my new work location a few months ago that there is a small DZ right behind my work. I was out back and heard a slider flapping in the wind. Looked up and I had a realization that I wanted to get back into the sport. Since it has been 8 years since my last jump I was not sure what to do. I got my license renewed first of all and spoke with the DZ owner. He wants to go over some things on the ground and then take me up on a level 4 AFF jump. Sold all my gear years ago and wife was just laid off so now I am looking at what I can sell to purchase some used gear lol I was in the army airborne for several years and have 50+ military static line jumps for whatever that is worth. Course that is a totally different animal and was more pain than pleasure. Any advice for someone who has been out this long? Thanks. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
