Ok hopefully I'll be starting the course in mid April. I'm so excited!!!! Thanks for all the help

I read on a website that I should buy used gear as a new guy. So would you recommend buying it after my A license or during the 25 jumps? Is there a certain number of jumps that I wouldn't want to by a main or reserve chute? Of course I would get someone to inspect it for me.

Thnks I'm in the Army so I don't have a choice on LIfe Insurance so I assume I'm good there. We don't ever want kids, we wanna travel and live life to the fullest. If so though that won't be for another 10 years or so, hopefully lol. When should I look into buying our own gear? I'm assuming after we get our A license. Also should a newbie buy used or new? Is there a general rule?

Its located in GA I believe. Its in a buddies of mine hometown and he said it's like 2 hours from Savannah, GA. Also skydive Jacksonville is the same price. I'm not sure if it involves static line. I'm guessing no but I'm not sure. Static line isn't required for AFF though is it?

Thanks for the help again. I posted a link below on what the price includes. They says it includes a ground class and 8 jumps. So once you complete that course you still have to complete another 25 to get you A license? Then just the more just the more jumps you do the different license you get? I'm in no hurry to do all the specialty jumps I was just wondering how realistic it is. Didn't know if DZs would let you or if you had to know someone with a plane or what. I'm so excited!!! How hard would you say the certification is? I can't wait for my wife and me to do it!!! http://www.skydivepalatka.com/prices/

Hope it's ok I post in here since I'm new I didn't know where to post this. I'm about to re-enlist in the military and other then go on our honeymoon the next thing I want to spend the money on is to get certified to skydive. My wife and I have gone on a tandem jump before and we LOVED it. I found a DZ acouple hours away that charges $1,300 unless you have to take more jumps of course. What are the different classes of license though? Also I see the cool videos of ppl jumping off wings of planes and holding onto parts of the plane and then letting go. Do most DZ's let you do this? I'm afraid not lol. Any tips for us would be awesome too. Thanks
