Don't feel bad, adamjenner.
Decided to try sport jumping late of Spring '84 (then 51 y.o.). Did the req.'d. SLs (5) and a FF. Went back for another FF (hop & pop really) to enjoy the Fall colors while under canopy ... And called it quits. Just didn't give me the rush it did when I was 30 years younger and in the military. And I wasn't into RW ... The only discipline back then.
Still a USPA member and support the US Team; my way of keeping up with the sport and contributing something to it even though I didn't stay active.
How did I manage another FF after four months and a single FF under my belt? JC, the DZs jumpmaster broke himself up a bit while checking out the new squares the DZ was switching over to and the guy who took over was a buddy from years back who knew my history.
Blue skys, amigo.
