Hello everyone! I did my 1st tandem jump in Nov 2003 at Skydive Guam and loved it so much, I did a 2nd tandem jump the following month during a port visit we had there. I jumped from 14k and it was the most awesome sight i've seen. You could see the entire island of Guam from way up there. That was an amazing sight. I was interested in taking the AFF course but just didn't have the money to do so then, nor the time since I was on sea duty (I'm AD Navy). Then I spent the next 4 1/2 years having my 3 children.
On my first jump, I purchased the DVD and forgot that I had it until I was unpacking my last box after moving back the the US recently. And once I watched it again, it brought that urge to want to be back in the skies again, to feel that feeling of excitement, happiness, freedom. Wow....I'm glad I bought that DVD now.
Now, with the husband and 3 kids, having a house and on sea duty again...haha, at least I'll have the time to save up to start taking classes at the closest DZ here next year. One is about 30 minutes from my house, so it's a perfect location!
Should I try another tandem jump again, or just proceed right into an AFF course? If I've waited 7 years since the last time I went, I can wait a little while longer. But the longing to go is going to eat at me!
