I have the same problem. I've just been fighting threw it.

I'm really looking forward to this as I'm just getting into skydiving. Can't wait!!!

Thank you everyone for the useful information, nice to know there are lots of helpful informative jumpers out there. I really miss the intense level of training I did in the military (standing around not so much), skydiving takes me back to that feeling. Knowing that there is a force greater then yourself and flirting with that force is humbling. When I got out I was looking to get into a race car but my budget had other intentions. To quote Ricky Bobby "I just wanna go fast" que skydiving. IM IN LOVE WITH FREEFALL!!! I can go just as fast but without the car, I'm sold!!! I'm taking my AFF course at SkydivePerris here in CA, they have a wind tunnel on site. It's about 2 hours from where I live, between work and the drive I'm not progressing as quickly as I'd like. I'm planning on hitting up the iFly at city walk, it's a lot closer then SkydivePerris.

Amen to that! My intention was never to take away from my AFF course, I'm going to complete that. I would not want to miss out on valuable training and skills I'm learning as I progress threw my AFF course, it very well could save my life some day. My instructors are amazing, prior to each jump I feel like I've received the best instructions I could get and they make me feel very relaxed, that is a big plus for me. I was only asking about jump count (in regards to) after I complete my AFF course. I know from my experience in the military, REDUDENCY is key. Same applies here! Thank you everybody for the useful information and I will look into it further. Blue Skies!!!

What's up everybody. I recently started my AFF course and I'm getting ready to jump #3. I was in the U.S. ARMY Airborne and was able to log a few static line jumps. That leads me to my question. Am I able to apply those SL jumps to account for the solo jumps needed to aquire my A license? Basically do the jumps transfer over!

Jump #2 in the books and cleared for level 3. At the risk of sounding like the noob that I am, I have a question. Do static line jumps count towards the A license? I have a few jumps in the army and was told that it might transfer over, I have my military jump log.

Thank you for the hospitality. My wife would be content with a tandem jump once in a while but she doesn't want to jump solo. We are planing on going back in a week so I can continue with my AFF course. I meant to say sell out of a hobby, that would cover the cost of the "A" license package. Hopefully my next outing I will be able to log a few jumps.

Hello everybody, my name is Jeff. My skydiving story began last Wednesday on the 17th. My wife and I just celebrated our 4year anniversary and we wanted to do something memorable. I asked her if she would like to go skydiving and she said with a big smile "yes". I was a little shocked because I never thought she would say yes. She called my bluff! I spent 4 1/2 years in the ARMY jumping from planes so I was excited to be able to do it on this level. We signed her up for a tandem jump and I enrolled in the AFF level 1 jump. The class took around 5-6 hours of classroom mixed with some hands on. My wife and I did two 1 minute sessions in the on-site wind tunnel prior to our jump. She did AMAZING! Better then me! Then came time for the real thing. After landing I had a debriefing on my jump, I'm cleared for level 2. I must say, I can't stop talking about it, I can't stop thinking about it. I've decided to sell out of my main passion to pursue my new one. SKYDIVING!!! I look forward to many many more jumps! Thanks for reading.
