    wow i never would of thought some of the places are double what i would pay here in america. but you guys make more so its not so bad, i might not go at that price
  3. danny2485
    im going to visit my friends living in england and wondering prices and best places. he actually lives in southampton but around the area is fine.

    yeah i didnt realize it was that expensive for gas. and there are a lot of things i didnt know thats why i asked. but if i can get certified before i ship out then i guess ill just go to a local spot when im able to leave. then later on if i pass SERE than ill get HALO done
  5. danny2485
    yeah im going to do SERE and after i can volunteer to do HALO but if i get certified like i want before i leave i figured i could probably just go up whenever they do. if i can do halo when im there im sure its cheap to just get jumps
  6. danny2485
    thanks again everyone. yeah i didnt know it was that expensive, i would have to get in 5 or 6 jumps in an hour. thats climp to whatever altitude we want to jump from, jump, land and repack. i dont know how long that all takes since ive only done one tandem. plus im joining the airforce and will jump a lot once in. does anyone anything about jumping(cost) if you are certified in the airforce?
  7. danny2485
    really, even with 3 of us splitting the cost of gas and 2 jumping over and over. also since i havent been certified how do you log jumps? like could i log those? not sure at all how you log and if things have to be signed or what, like can they go toward your total jumps since you were not at a dropzone
  8. danny2485
    thanks guys. yeah this wont be anytime soon as you can see ive only done one tandem. and he just got his private i think. but me and my friend are going to get certified in the next couple weeks. so this is for far future use. getting jumps for the split cost of gas and find a big open space. so any class E airspace and where the person doesnt mind us landing and picking back up can be used and not get into trouble?
  9. danny2485
    so my friend is almost completed his helicopter license. so how illegal or what do you have to do to be able to just go up and jump out. once im confident and have enough jumps and my own gear. just to go in the copter with my gear on and have him go to whatever altitude and jump out. can i log that kind of jump and where would i have to land. is it totally illegal or what? i dont know anything about it so i figured id ask
  10. danny2485
    im not sure about the bonus. i know i will if i go for special forces, and if i go SF then ill get jump training too. but its gonna be a while and i want to go NOW. lol and a guy i met said jumping in the airforce even not with there training is really cheap for jump tickets. if your certified either way its really cheap. hope its true. but i could do 1 and 2 then wait a bit and do 3 and 4 both on the same weekend. would that be better?
  11. danny2485
    thanks everyone. well right now i have 800 to spend. and wont have more til end of march. so im not sure what to do. its really hard for me to save 600 more before spending it and will take me a while. i dont make a lot and have payments. also might sign for airforce and would be shipping out in june/july. what do you guys suggest
  12. danny2485
    a month in between the next 4? i thought maybe because they are the biggest ones and the last 4 might be just getting the main skills down, but im not sure how it works. what do you guys think?
  13. danny2485
    in between south hampton and portsmouth. i should have my aff as long as i get a decent tax return. dont work a whole lot but i should be fine. i cant wait. id like to be able to jump solo over there but it sounds like it might be expensive
  14. danny2485
    just a tandem. hopefully next month i will do my AFF
  15. danny2485
    wow thats nuts. maybe i wont be then. it would be around southampton portsmouth area i think
  16. danny2485
    wow thanks everyone. maybe ill just do a tandem if i end up going. id like to go just to see friends but they are doing a tandem in may. i guess i can just do one and worry about getting my A here
  17. danny2485
    i guess i should of asked it better. i have warm clothes. and i used to live there when i was younger so i know the weather. so what does being a student over there mean?
  18. danny2485
    thanks, how much does it cost to get a membership?
  19. danny2485
    i want to get certified in february and my friends from when i lived in england are doing a jump in may. id like to make it over since i havent seen them in forever and want to be able to jump by myself. are there different rules on how many jumps i have to have. do i have to have 25? thanks guys
  20. danny2485
    thanks to all the replies guys. im gonna wait for it to come. then do all of them in a row. i dont want to be retaking anything that i dont get right since i took off time. i just cannot wait to do it. im so excited to jump again
  21. danny2485
    when you have to do another jump, normally whats it from? and how much does it cost to redo? and im gonna im waiting for this cold weather to leave like in a week or so
  22. danny2485
    thanks, ill check that out. hopefully within a few weeks ill have my first 3 done. hopefully it will warm back up.
  23. danny2485
    thanks again guys. one last question, i read through that site that was given. well if you do good and dont have to rejump or anything. how many jumps do you do during the 7 classes? just one for each class right?
  24. danny2485
    i know i live in florida but were getting a cold spell. i have enough to do my first 3 jumps and then ill finish the next 4 when i get my tax return. well i just dont know about the weather. right now its cold and im not sure how it will affect me. i have longjohns and stuff and dont really mind the cold but at 15k its gonna be freezing. should i just wait till we have a really warm week?
  25. danny2485
    thanks guys, i did my tandem at titusville and liked it a lot. my guy was the jumpmaster with like 18k+ jumps and was really cool and was very down to earth and helpful. seemed like a good place to go last time i talked to them
