sammielu 3 #1 February 8, 2013 After my first tandem for my birthday last August I was hooked. It took through winter to get my bosses to hire someone to replace me so I can take the right days off, and I finally completed the static line class in January ... and have experienced weather holds on my skydive days/off work days since. I am so excited to begin solo jump training! This forum is pretty fun in the meantime and has helped with the non-technical questions I'd be mortified to ask an instructor (regarding hair and female anatomy - don't want to seem like a fraidycat!) Hoping for blue skies, days off, and DC open on the same day! -Sam (Samantha) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Just hang in there. You can pretty much guarantee that there will be sunny skies... the weekend after the 4th of July. Look in the womens forum we have discussed many issues. Till then.. hang in there and get in your jumps as you can weather permitting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #3 February 8, 2013 Welcome to the forums! Sisters in Skydiving mentor at your dropzone. Maybe a nice girl will take you under her wing and show you the ropes. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
