Wow. Honestly, I was HOPING for something like, "Aw, don't sweat it. As long as they're logged, the USPA doesn't care about signatures." I kinda knew that wasn't the case already. Now, I EXPECTED a bunch of replies similar to, "You dumbass! Come back when you get a few hundred more legit jumps logged." I'm grateful for the supportive replies. Ya' know, years ago I got sucked into the politics at the DZ I started at. Then, the next DZ was filled with a bunch of skygods. I guess this is why I kinda gravitated to the rut I did. Thank you, everyone, who replied and for not chewing me out too much. I'll definitely be taking your advice. Stay safe. Blue ones!

I need advice... In March 2008 I will have been jumping, and licensed with the USPA, for 12 years. I have always jumped because it is relaxing. Now, I want to start doing more (wing suits, night jumps, etc.). Unfortunately, I stopped logging my jumps around #105 about 10 years ago. It always felt uncomfortable to ask the various sky gods to sign my log book. And, since I never wanted anything more than an "A" license, it did not seem like a big deal. And, honestly, in the 10 years I've probably only got about another 200 jumps or so (at the very max) but most of THOSE while I was overseas (nothing was logged). So, now I want to do more in the sport. I just bought my first Pro-Track and a new SIM. I want to get better. I want to jump LOTS more. I'd like to have a "D" and maybe even a rating or two (eventually). It just feels like a really odd situation. What should I do? Should I even worry about those 200 un-logged jumps? Will the USPA, or anyone else, really care that they are not all logged? And, what about signatures? If I log my jumps do they really need to be signed? Wow. 12 years and I still have newbie questions. I guess that says it all. Thanks, in advance, for anyone who has the time to lend some advice.
