thestalkmore 0 #1 August 31, 2009 Now, I know that the good folks over at the USPA are notoriously slow in processing license applications that haven't been expedited, but my B app was sent in over a month ago and I still haven't heard a peep from them. When should I send them an email and begin listing my demands!? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Tomcat933 0 #5 August 31, 2009 3.5 weeks? A month? I just graduated yesterday and am sending my A card in tomorrow. I think those turn around times are a little ridiculous its 2009. I guessed it would take a week or so at the longest. I mean are they like cutting down trees and making the paper to print the card on themselves? The excitement of getting the A card makes the wait so much worse, I've graduated but now i want to hold that thing in my hand. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tomcat933 0 #6 August 31, 2009 Also, why is the annual membership for USPA sixty bucks? What exactly am i getting for my money? I would have thought it would be like twenty or something. Sixty for a membership, thirty for a license, forty five per jump because of rental fees, I'm a poor college kid this is killing me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Where along your training did you get the idea this is a cheap sport? Quit whining. Things take money to make them happen. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Will_Evo 0 #10 August 31, 2009 If you faxed your license request in, then I would call and ask them. I had my B number within a week after I sent it in(because I called) and had the actual card a little later. -EvoZoo Crew Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You don't need the pretty shiny card from USA. I hope you made a copy.Kim Mills USPA D21696 Tandem I, AFF I and Static Line I Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydude2000 3 #13 August 31, 2009 60 bucks??? Count yourself lucky. In Canada it's $85, and I'm sure there are more expensive memberships out there. Unless it's different in the US, you're getting liability insurance in case you do something stupid, kill someone and get sued for it. As long as you're not breaking any BSR's.
