labrys 0 #4 December 15, 2006 There's nothing in your profile to indicate where you are, where you jump, any organizations you might belong to, or how much experience you have so your question is hard to answer. If you're in the USA and you've jumped at one DZ most of the time they can probably help you recreate your log book if you don't have many jumps.Owned by Remi #?

jaybwise 0 #5 December 15, 2006 yeah, i only have 75 jumps, but only about 25 at this DZ, I got certified In HI, and moved to fl. so I'm not really in the group yet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
billvon 2,991 #6 December 15, 2006 Yep. You'll have to re-take the FJC and do AFF or SL over again, of course. Maybe if you talk to the DZO they'll give you a break on the costs . . . Just kidding. Easiest thing to do is to get a new logbook and reconstruct as best you can from memory. You'll be able to get your instructors to sign off that you graduated (and that you did coach jumps etc) and you'll probably be able to get people to sign off the rest. If all else fails, ask manifest for load sheets, go through them, and get the pilot to sign off the loads he flew with you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BillyVance 34 #7 December 15, 2006 If you remember some of the people who signed your jumps off, they could probably help vouch for you..."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
DSE 5 #8 December 15, 2006 Wouldnt the USPA have a copy of your application as you FAXed or mailed it in? They'd definitely have a record of your "b" license being issued. That doesn't help with the other 24 jumps, but it should rate acceptance of your license. Seems to me the worst you'd have to do is pay for a recurrency jump, no? My logbook was stolen from a locker in Hawaii, so now I keep my electronic logbook both in my laptop and as a backup file on the web in an FTP location.

To the original poster, depending on the software the DZ uses they can at the very least tell you when you jumped, buy a new log book.... write it down, get the latest one signed. I keep my log book seperate from my gear bag just incase someone wants my gearbag. Ive lost one and the thing that sucked the most was the loss of signatures and drunken quotes... (I got my book back though) Good luck...Sudsy Fist: i don't think i'd ever say this Sudsy Fist: but you're looking damn sudsydoable in this Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ryan_d_sucks 0 #11 December 16, 2006 I dont have any advice to add, just my apologies.. Did your gear get lifted as well? That shit is terrible.. Who the fuck steals other people's gear? Did it get stolen from the DZ (as in by another skydiver) or just by some shmuck out in the real world? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildfan75 1 #12 December 16, 2006 To the OP: Dude--That sucks. I'm sorry. I should have said that in my original post. I write a novel for each jump so I would be totally crushed if I lost my log book. To LMWB and Spence: Thank you. I take a bow. It was literally the first thing that popped into my head when I was reading it and couldn't help but hit the reply button. Spence: The Shockers pretty much disbanned after this year. Soden moved to Dallas, haven't seen much of Mo, Tallant has been around a little bit, and well, Todd, he lives in the hanger now, so he's always there. Todd will probably go back to Gang Green and then I'm sure (I hope) that some of us newbies create a team next spring/summer, just to get our foot in the door of the competition world and have some fun.

jumpdr 0 #13 December 16, 2006 This is why I've taken to sitting down every so often and scanning in the most recently completed pages of my log book and saving them as simple PDF files... Doesn't take too long and is probably worth it, just in case...Skydiving is more than a sport and more than a job: skydiving is pure passion and desire which will fill a lifetime.

bigdad510 1 #15 December 17, 2006 jumpdr...thats a good idea, i'm suprise with me being a computer geek I didn't think of that...cool advice to the OP, I highly recommend the scanning thing, I had to reconstruct mine after Katrina, the storm took it all away, but I had my computer...I know better now. Oh, one more piece of advice...take your license tests at the appropriate number and SEND IT TO USPA! I had my signed off A license paperwork for 10 years before I sent it to USPA.Brad Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
