hey gang, well I'm a few weeks away from my first jump and ive spent the last coupl eof days watching football and surfing all the sky diving sites. As I poked around i had a couple of general curiousity type questions. First, what discipline(s) does everybody study? When and why did you chose that? I just read about a bunch of different disciplines and would really like to get ina little of everything. Is it possible to jump from one discipline to another/ Also, at what point did yall decide it was time to buy your own gear? How many jumps did you take before it was time to upgrade to the custom canopy? Im just curious. I injured my leg playing softball on Friday, so Im trrying to keep myself entertained while Im laid up.

THanks for the optimism guys, I sure can use it! As for the progression its a tandem progression with 2 Tandems (Categories A & B) + 1 Transition Course + 5 AFF Jumps + 18 Coach Jumps which should get me close to an "A" certification. It will cost me about $2,234.6. Is this a fairly reasonable price? Looking at the individual jump prices it seems to save a few $, but I dont know what standard pricing might be. From what I hear Skydive Aggieland is a very professional and knowledgable crew and if they're good enough to keep Bush Sr. alive, then I should be good to go Grendel Khan-The Official DZ.Com Newbie Forum Nuisance "They sicken of the calm, that know the storm."

Was wanting to go out of Coulter Field in Bryan Texas, but with the storm coming our direction it probably wont happen This jump was going to be my birthday present to myself, but oh well. I'll have to try again some other time. aggieland skydiving offers a progression package that I want, so hopefully within the next month or so I can get going on that.
