valcore 0 #1 July 18, 2005 Hey I just got my A this last weekend and for my 25 check dive I was able to make a 4 way which we pulled off 3 points before break off time. Just wanted to let everyone know that there is yet another new Skydiver here.

valcore 0 #3 July 18, 2005 Well right now I am working on my belly flying hopefully to get into some competition once I get a little better. Wish I had the 27th jump on video I don't know how it happened but we managed to turn 7 point in a 4 way out of the Casa. So I think for now I am sticking with belly flying.

slowfallerUK 0 #5 July 26, 2005 Hi valcore, Well done getting your A-licence. Work as hard as you can to get a rig asap (unless you have one already). I made the mistake of getting quite un-current after i got my A-licence due to being poor (big "aaaahh" everyone please). If I'd been clever i would have got another job so i could get a rig and start enjoying the sport to the fullest. Enjoy the forums and your newfound money-drain :) I can guarantee one thing; you'll make some great life-long friends in this sport, it kicks ass. Blue Skies, tim x Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

divegoddess 0 #7 July 28, 2005 Congrats. I hope to follow in your footsteps some day. I'm working on getting some $$ together for training and a rig. Hopefully when skydive newengland opens up in the spring, I will be taking their AFF. I hope you find a good rig and take to the sky soon. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
valcore 0 #8 July 29, 2005 Hey thanks, yes I have gotten my own gear already. Your going to laugh but I used the GI bill to pay for all of my skydiving (license, and gear) cool .

Hackb431 0 #9 July 29, 2005 Hey it's a better use than I have seen some people use theirs for. But if you have any left how about you get me a new Neptune as I was a dummy and took the Student Loan Repayment Option.HackB A.K.A. "Puppy" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skydivermom 0 #10 July 30, 2005 Way to Go! It is very addictive isn't it? I've already sprained both my ankles (not at the same time) and I'm still proceeding. Just have to have a better landing next time.Mrs. WaltAppel All things work together for good to them that love God...Romans 8:28 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tigerclaw 0 #11 July 30, 2005 Wow, I feel really dumb. I used my GI Bill for College. Now I spend sunny days at the DZ wishing I had enough Cash for another jump, wondering how the Hell am I gonna pay for my first rig since my license is pretty much right around the corner. I used my GI bill up in the late 80-s/early 90's. I'm glad to see that the new breed of Soldier has a MUCH Better Sense of Priorities!!! Congrats!

Your going to laugh but I used the GI bill to pay for all of my skydiving (license, and gear) cool . lol...I think that's pretty slick. Well, I'm trying to get a student loan and if i have left over, putting it toward skydiving so i can start training for the STP because my fulltime job does not cut it.---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the storm.

So instead, when i was a freshman in college, i applied for a ton of credit cards because they were giving away free goodies and i charged some of my tuition, books, expenses, etc and i haven't used it in more than two years and i'm still trying to pay it off....---------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------- If you want to see the rainbow, you gotta put up with the storm.
