Hello everyone

[kitflint76 0]

My name is Kit. I'm 33. I did my first jump earlier this month with a friend as a "bucket list" kind of thing. My father and grandfather were both paratroopers, so I have always wanted to do it at least once.
I'm hooked, I paid for my first jump toward getting my license that day. The runway was being resurfaced the next week so I had to wait a week and a half for my next jump. That was last Wed. My next jump is this Wed. I'm doing a tandem progression, so if I can meet all my objectives for the next jump I get to go to ground school and go out the door with just a container on my back instead of a instructor. :)
I've been lurking in forums trying to pick up all the tips and advice I can.
I can't believe it took me this long to discover skydiving. But reading the forums leads me to believe I will be enjoying it into my 70's

Welcome to the forums Kit! It's cool to read up and such, gives us an advantage in my opinion.

I can't believe I didn't start skydiving earlier too but better late than never...
