skyrider 0 #3 December 21, 2010 Just keep reminding yourself it is worth the wait, and use the time to meet and talk with Upjumpers! That way, once off student status you also have a group of friends to jump with... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quit your whining, how would you like to have that happen for a week after you attended jump school at Ft. Benning? I am still pissed after all these years.

airathanas 0 #6 December 21, 2010 Oh quit your whining! It's going to be at least 3 more months if not more until I can even THINK about jumping again (I'm grounded recovering from knee surgery). Waiting another week is not going to kill ya. Get over it already. Geez http://3ringnecklace.com/ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skyrider 0 #7 December 21, 2010 Pssssssstttt....Seems to be the wrong forum for whinning on this subject....BUT, mainly because almost all of us been there, I had to work my way threw student status, and could only get up when JM's were not busy with cash paying customers... Just makes it that much sweeter when you reach your goal! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Its amazing how that wind just dies down on the third pass right before the scratch call, isnt it?

ostoso 0 #10 December 22, 2010 Hey dude I'm also a student jumping at skydive miami. I've gotten used to the many hour long trips to the DZ just to come back home empty handed. It makes it that much more satisfying when I do get to jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
dgskydive 0 #11 December 28, 2010 Dude. When I started jumping in Washington State. We could go months on weather hold. Suck it up cupcake. You'll get through it. It will make it that much better in the endDom Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
