Hello Forum!
I'm a new member on the forum from Cape Town, South Africa.
Well, my story is kind of unique... After working on my lifelong dream for 18 years, I was submitted into the South African Air Force as a Pupil Pilot as 1 of 33 from a pool of 12,000 applicants. During Basic Military Training I had a medical accident and permanently lost 60% hearing in my right ear... (Happened on 7 October 2012)
Now I'm still trying to get myself together, look up, and stay positive... Even if I can't be a military pilot anymore, I WILL still fly... That's where the thought of Skydiving came in.
Since my resignation in the Air Force on the 7th of January 2013, I have been working on my other passion which is video editing... (You can see my Youtube Channel at: www.youtube.com/user/xlive2fly)
Sooo, now this 19 year old from SA is hoping that this will become a major part in my life like aviation was for the last 18 years!
I'm still saving up a bit as I'm doing Freelance video editing atm and that is my only source of income. But as soon as I have enough, I'll sign up for my AFF course!
Looking forward to being part of this community.
