chaosreins 0 #1 November 15, 2006 hi fellow skydivers - i'm new here and wanted to say hi. this is a great space and i have a feeling i'll be spending a lot of time here while i really should be working... i received the most incredible birthday gift in september - the entire aff course paid for! i started at level "a" on my birthday and two months later i'm up to my "e" level (unfortunately i could only jump on weekends so it was a slow process). i notice most of you refer to the levels by number and not by letter but i guess my dz does it a bit differently. passing "e" level puts me on solo status so i can jump with a coach. i guess you could say i've become obsessed with this new passion! unfortunately my dz here in the northeast has just closed for the winter, but i do plan on making some short trips to z-hills over the next few months to continue my training and hopefully get my a license here in the spring. thanks for letting me share!

(and what's another few hundred dollars on my credit card between friends?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Peej 0 #4 November 16, 2006 Welcome to the forums!
