Gotcha... I get it... I'll just save up the dough and do it right... Get it done and start jumping on a regular basis.

OK... Thanks, I'll double check with the dropzone.. To clarify.

Below is the e-mail thread I've had with dropzone... I've removed any names and dropzone information... You'll see at the bottom of the thread he say's "each jump must be within 30 days of each other or you will need to repeat the last level per the USPA", which I have found in the rules... but then his latest response is what's confusing me which is right below this "+" page break. Where he says "all jumps within 30 days" +++++++++++++++++++++++++++ You need to keep all jumps within 30 days of each other, per the USPA. You need 2 tandems, a 6 hour ground school, which has no jumps in it. After that you can do the AFP program which has 7 levels, some people need to repeat a level, pending you don't that is 7 jumps, for a total of 10 jumps when you include the tandems. skydive@skydive On Thu, May 6, 2010 8:31 am, I wrote: > Unfortunately, I don't think I'd be able to swing May 17th... > > Just so I understand this, I'll need 2 more tandems.

had my 1st tandem this weekend and I'm hooked... Inquired with the drop zone about licensing... They said all 10 jumps and groundschool have to be completed within a 30 day window per the USPA rules. I can't find anything on the USPA site which references the window to get all the jumps in. Did find a few timeframes to keep "current" but nothing about 10 jumps, groundschool within 30 days. Is this true or a marketing gimmick?
