kmg365 0 #1 March 30, 2011 I live in VA. Have three jumps so far and determined to get my A license by July 4th. A friend talked me into my first jump. I was a bit apprehensive at first. Didn't think I fit the profile. I'm a suburban female. Not in my 20s anymore, and decidedly conservative in lifestyle, but honestly, I was hooked the first time I stepped out of the plane! Since I'm a novice, I'll lurk for a while and soak up the wisdom on this board. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Probably not - it's rather rare for skydiving instructors to take an interest in eager young women. Anyone ever hear of such a thing?Every fight is a food fight if you're a cannibal Goodness is something to be chosen.

kmg365 0 #8 April 4, 2011 Let me verify said rumor. I was a long wait-winds too high for most of the day, but I hung in there. And it was worth the wait. Despite a minor setback on my second Catagory C jump, I'm now a little further along the way toward my license! Hoping for blue skies and light winds the weekend of the 16th.
