jenp9k 0 #1 August 1, 2004 Hi All, I'm Jen, I just finished my AFF level 5 and can't wait to get back to the DZ (Hollister) for 6 & 7! My first three jumps were up at Skydive Snohomish in WA... Tandem progression and AFF first jump. For my level 5, my instructor talked me into diving headfirst out of the KingAir. Let me tell you I am so glad he did because it was the funnest f#&$ing thing I have ever done and I can not wait to do it again! And again, and again..... Blue skies!

billymotox 0 #3 August 2, 2004 Welcome! I just started doing diving exits too, and I had fun too. The first one I tumbled a bit, but the second was smooth. Good luck with the rest of AFF billy d------------------------- "Escape may be checked by water and land, but the air and the sky are free."

mcneill79 0 #5 August 3, 2004 Hey Jen, Congrats on getting started in this sport. I am a Hollister jumper too... Hope to see you around the DZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites jenp9k 0 #6 August 3, 2004 Hi Wendy Good luck with your AFF! Say hi to Tyson and Luke for me. How come you are just doing AFF now but have so many jumps already? I actually had my first jump in WA but moved to CA right after. I go to Hollister now. I will try to get up to WA when I am off student status though so maybe we'll see each other.

I just have to do one recurrancy jump though and I'll be good to go on my own.

I just cant seem to have a stable exit yet. How far are you from graduating AFF? Jen Hello. Just thought I'd chime in here. I am in the same training as Billy d, AFP at Skydive Chicago. It is a different program than AFF. We do 2 tandems, and then 18 coached jumps. Then we graduate. I am only on level 3, so Billy is ahead of me. On my next one they release me, woo-hoo!! Good luck with the rest of your training! Jeth "At 13,000 feet nothing else matters." PFRX!!!!!

Jump by myself?? Have fun on your release dive, I remember mine quite an eye opener!
