76Jimmy 0 #1 August 10, 2009 New member/student skydiver. Working through AFF catigory F, getting closer to tha A License. Feel real good about the trainning I've recieved from the Instuctors at Skys the Limit in E. Stroudsburg PA. nice people there. Went for my first tandem a couple of weeks ago for a friends birthday (nobody else would jump with him). I've learned alot about myself over the past couple of weeks: 1- Never thought I would jump from operational aircraft while in flight. 2- Never thought I would want to do it again & again & again & again & again & again & again & again.... 3- Never thought I would quit smoking (need money, this stuff aint cheap!!!!) Great forum & website.Jim Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
