On the road to my A license

Recommended Posts

My husband has been an instructor (AFF and Tandem) for several years at Skydive Greensburg, IN. He tried very hard to get me into the sport 7 years ago. I started the AFF class...did a few jumps...started over thinking it...stopped.

I have now completed my AFF class (Hop & Pop on July 4th)!!!
Since then, he and I have started jumping together. It's a blast! We just made 3 jumps yesterday.

My second jump after coming off AFF was awesome. Landed within 5 feet of the targeted area on my own, off radio.

I can't wait to get in the sky again next weekend!

Welcome! I have jumped out at Greensburg several times... I am sure I have seen you around. Who is your hubby?

He jumps as much as he can...sometimes he has as much as 16 tandems to do in a day. We try to squeeze in as many jumps as we can.
This past weekend I got "grounded" after 3 jumps, 3 jumps x 2 people tends to hit the good old pocket book a bit hard, especially when I am still renting gear. :(

Welcome to the forums! And good that you started again!

Fun isn't it to jump with your hubby!! Makes jumps that little bit more :-)

I started jumping 2 years ago, my bf followed 1 year later, and since about a month we are allowed to jump together. (rules here in the netherlands are a bit different than in the us)

THe only problem we have with two jumpers is the same you have experienced.... My bf has his own material since 3 months as well, that is a big relief.
Don't try to live forever, you will not succeed!
