phonics1981 0 #1 September 15, 2003 Just a quick post so I can whinge a bit! I've got 9 consol jumps and only need 1 more to get Cat 8. Ive only needed 1 jump for THREE weeks!! Every weekend something has gotten in the way of me getting my Cat 8. 2 Weeks ago, the weather wasnt too nice and I had to take my parents to the airport. Last weekendit was my best mates engagement party so we took him away for the weekend. Weekend just gone i got the the DZ early but just missed the first lift. I was booked on the 2nd lift but had to pull out cos there were no spare rigs. I was put on the 3rd lift and my mate Mr Windy Twat comes to visit the DZ so lift 3 was on wind hold. Just as the wind seemd to start dying down, I had to leave to pick my parents up from the airport (inconsiderate people, flying on a saturday!). Sunday, my damn car decided to shed its old exhaust (for the 2nd time in 4 months!). Am I ever going to get Cat 8!! Lets see what can get in my way next weekend! ------------------------------------------------------ "Ive given up on sigs cos I make a mess of them!" ------------------------------------------------------ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chew 0 #2 September 15, 2003 I'm feeling your pain!!! Consols are a real pain in the rear! Waiting for instrucors to be on a lift and Student wind holds are slowing me down big time! Having spent about 18 hours at the DZ I have managed 3 consols!! ARRRRRRRRGGGGGGGGHHHHHH!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
mr2mk1g 10 #3 September 15, 2003 It took me 3 months to get my last jump in when I was finishing my RAPS course. Was over the winter here so weather was shite. Went to the DZ 5 weekends in a row only to sit there on weather hold all day. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
