jrmrangers 0 #1 May 2, 2011 I was finally able to get started with my IAF this weekend and it went great! My first jump went well but had a canopy with line twists, i was able to work them out and tip toed the landing. I also helped 3 people get packing down enough that they got signed off! On Sunday i got 3 jumps in and by the second one the radio person wasnt even talking to me anymore! I even got to do a solo exit one jump early and i loved it!! God i love this sport and i cant wait to get back in the skies!!!P.S. I forgot to mention a made a bunch of new friends and had lots of laughs too!!Wait , I pull what first?

JohnMitchell 16 #5 May 2, 2011 Glad to see you making such good progress. Have you been a packer for a while and are just now starting to jump? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jrmrangers 0 #6 May 2, 2011 I actually just learned about 2 weeks ago but practiced my ass off for hours and hours while on weather hold. The main IAF instructor said she had been watching me pack and had seen that I had it down pat. That was why she asked me to help out. It felt good to get that vote of confidence and I was happy to do it. It also got me preferential treatment on Sunday which let me get three jumps in .Wait , I pull what first?

faulk04 0 #8 May 2, 2011 Congrats on being able to jump, seems like you had a blast! The weather here has been shit the past few weeks so barely any jumps for me. I am hoping for that to change this weekend Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
