jmpnkramer 0 #1 January 8, 2004 I am pleased to announce that last night on the sunset load. Cory A. (Kramer) Graduated AFF. He had a couple of struggles but perservered through the program. I wanted to be the first to congradulate him. He is a very good guy and Serious college student. He will be flying out this morning to go back home to Indiana. He now needs people in the vicinity to make sure he stays current. Any of ya'll in that area please help him out. Cory: You are more than welcome to stay at " Condo Crash Pad " anytime. Once again congrats. Laters, The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!The REAL KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER! "HESITATION CAUSES DEATH!!!"

happythoughts 0 #8 January 8, 2004 As tall as he is, did he have to dump extra high during AFF? From 5k, that guy barely has time to reach and flare. The whole time that I talked to him, I was thinking "Am I standing in a hole or what?" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
kelel01 1 #9 January 8, 2004 Yeah, I'm 5'2", and when he took a pic of the two of us, I swear he practically got on his knees so we would be the same height. Kelly Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Kramer 0 #13 January 9, 2004 Thanks Kramer (and everyone else). AFF was so much fun. I failed levels I and III, but hey...shit happens. I met a lot of really neat people, made a lot of friends, had a great time. If you've never been to ZHills, go there. It's absolutely incredible. I am forever in debt to jmpnkramer and ladyskydiver for bending over backwards to help make my stay a little more enjoyable. You guys are great, I owe you big. I also met Ron (funny funny guy...gives good advice), kelel01 (hottie), dagny (again...hottie), happythoughts (who also got me going with a few good funny stories), HeatherB (who lost me as a dinner date one night ) umm....Bean (who is a badass and taught me how to pack), captainpooby (who works his ass off at ZHills ), and tons of other non dotcommers that were really cool. And I talked to peachsouthern on the phone a few times (once right after I landed from level VII), she's a sweet gal (have fun down there). I can't wait to go back, I'm scheming for ways to move down to the Tampa area. Indiana sucks. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

Kramer 0 #15 January 9, 2004 Yes, and he did a damn good job too. He was just about to the part where he was going to put the canopy in the bag, and he looks at me and goes "so do remember a lot of what I just did?" I said "pretty much", he said (as he ruins the pack job) "good, now you do it" . -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

No problem at all dude. You came a long way to go through AFF. We just helped out where we could. You are welcome anytime. I am really glad you were able to finish.

Dagny 0 #19 January 10, 2004 Oh, Cory!!! CONGRATULATIONS!!!! Good job! I am so happy that you took the long trek to zhills. I'm especially glad that I stayed long enough to meet you and watch you as you began your aff progression. Welcome to the obsession that is skydiving...and enjoy it! Stay safe out there.

bean 0 #20 January 10, 2004 Due to the weather and a reserve re-pack oversight, looks like I gotta wait till Monday or so to let you know how it opens! You did a great job staying focus'd on your AFF; we all knew you'd get in the last jump before heading home. Come back down soon, free coaching jumps waiting for you when you do. Maybe Stacy will jump in and gift us with her wonderful personality and unending RW suggestions.... ...She usually has lots of time between jumps as the packers get her ready for the next load...
