Thanks for the advice and encouraging words everyone. I'm starting a new job soon, so I'll probably head out to the DZ (Perris) after I get my first paycheck or two. Can't wait to get back in the air!

Hey folks, It's been almost two years since my last jump, and I am thinking about getting back into it. If you're wondering about why it's been so long, well, there was a move involved plus I was deployed to Iraq for awhile. The problem is that I stopped on my 10th jump. I graduated from AFF, but obviously haven't gotten my A license yet. What are the requirements to start jumping again? Do I have to redo the entire AFF course? I'm not sure I could afford to do that again, it was tough enough paying for it the first time. For what it's worth, I think I've retained most of the knowledge and am confident that I can relearn everything else pretty quickly. Any advice? Thanks for your help and blue skies. Ray

I would think that the G-forces from your spirals caused all the blood to be forced towards the lower part of your body resulting in less blood for your head which is why you felt woozy. Or, the continuous spirals could have disorientated your inner ear, which would also result in the woozy, pukey feeling. Kinda like those carnival scrambler rides. [DISCLAIMER - I only have 10 jumps, so what the heck do I know?
