Well back in the day you guys used to put students out with a 100 jumps. What did you guys really know at a 100 jumps. The sport is changing The learning curve is higher now. People progress faster now.
What Im tired of is old timers saying back in the day they did it this way. Its not back in the day
USPA set standards. Whether they are right or wrong thats what they are. If someone meets those requirements they get the rating. For you to complain about someone having money or time is just silly.
Rant done
