Ground School

[gonecountry 0]

(In the voice of Eric Cartman) "I am so pissed off right now" I finished my 2 instructional tandems 2 weekends ago. When I called the DZ today they said it might be another 2 weeks before they get a ground school together. I just want to JUMP!!! I have a 4-day weekend, and can't get in the air. I wake up thinking about jumping and go to sleep doing the same. You can only play the Daffy Duck skydiving game so much before you're insane. Thanks for letting me vent.Jeff

Profile says skydive san marcos.

I say travel somewhere that is hosting a ground school.

Or you can wait it out.

Those are your options... :)

Enjoy

Jeff, I called Spaceland the other day, inquired about groundschool. I went the next day (on a weekday) and had a ONE on ONE training with an instructor...

Come on over to Spaceland and they WILL put you up..... Oh, and we have Two Twin Otters! Well, really 3, but one is somewhere on lease or something.......

As soon as I read your post, I had to check and see where you jump--My hunch was correct; you're at my DZ. We had a first jump course last weekend, so there probably won't be another until June. I'm sorry the timing isn't better. If you want to go somewhere else, I know Skydive Temple has FJC's every other week, and Skydive Houston has them pretty frequently, as well. If you want to continue your training at Skydive San Marcos, we would obviously prefer that you take your first jump course with us because it simplifies the training process (it's not just about revenues--different schools often teach different techniques, and switching between schools can present a few minor hurdles), but if you decide you can't wait, any of the above mentioned drop zones will provide you with quality training. If you decide you want to wait and take the FJC at Skydive San Marcos, we'll make sure you're well taken care of.

Try Great White spear fishing, it should be exciting enough?!?

There is a lot of stuff worth doing but then there is a lot of stuff worth doing instead.
