jrmrangers 0 #7 May 10, 2011 Congrats on getting past the first step. Get used to the waiting!!! Ive only been able to jump on three days since passing my FJC almost 7 weeks ago. You spend a lot more time on the ground looking up than you do in the sky looking down!!! Good luck!!Wait , I pull what first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanksky 0 #8 May 14, 2011 Next weakend I am heading out to the dz to attempt to do my first aff. This time I hope the weather and winds are good so I can jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
popsjumper 2 #9 May 14, 2011 Good luck with your jump and the weather! In a way, skydiving sucks.... We have to deal with wind, rain, hail, sleet, snow, clouds, planes, pilots, FAA, airport authority...somewhere in the middle of all that we get to do a jump. My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus. Falcon5232, SCS8170, SCSA353, POPS9398, DS239 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jrmrangers 0 #14 May 27, 2011 There's still a pretty long road after you finish your AFF! I finished mine 3 weeks ago and got to do 4 solos afterwards but the weather hasn't let me jump since! I'm going out of my mind waiting for the rain to stop in the northeast.Wait , I pull what first? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm going out of my mind waiting for the rain to stop in the northeast.Yeah, I know there's a long way to go - but it becomes easier to do more jumps quicker the further along you get - reduced cost and reduced logistics - more coaches than instructors etc. The best progress I've made was a getting jumps #3 and #4 done in one day. I even bought beers for my first ever more-than-one-jump-in-a-day day :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryanksky 0 #16 June 2, 2011 Yea, I have water training and then hopefully i can get my aff in to if the weather dose not screw us over. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
