debussyschild 0 #1 October 23, 2008 The title of my post is pretty self-explanatory. I had originally signed up to just do a tandem jump this weekend at the West Point Halloween Boogie, but it turns out I can start my AFF there. My brother, who I didn't know was as psyched as I am about learning to skydive, signed up to do a category A jump. So I signed up too! I trust my brother more than anything. Just knowing that he's going to be going through the same rigorous training before the category A jump along side myself is more than I could ask for. I still can't believe I'm doing this!!!!!!! Wish me luck!!!! "For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return."

SkyPainter 0 #2 October 27, 2008 GOOD LUCK! and H A V E F U N !!!!! Pay close attention in the FCJ, then just go out and do your jump as planned/trained. The very FIRST time you fly your own canopy back to earth is a VERY special moment, and sears the sport into your soul!

debussyschild 0 #3 October 28, 2008 Best decision on my life #2: skydiving. It was incredible! I passed with flying colors (literally, orange and yellow) and met lots of really great and helpful people, too. And, of course, partied hard!!!!!!!! Can't wait for my cat B jump!!

debussyschild 0 #7 December 1, 2008 I've been weathered out 5 weekends in a row... I might have to repeat Cat A at this point. Not too excited about that, but what can you do??"For once you have tasted flight you will walk the earth with your eyes turned skyward, for there you have been and there you will long to return."
