Recently licensed, took some time because of being in the army. Looking forward to making many more great friends in this sport. Should be heading to Summer Fest at Skydive Chicago this year.

welcome.

Summerfest is a blast.
They have something for everyone, even the low experience jumpers.

I'll be there for the 2nd half. I usually do organized belly stuff with Rhythm. They are all great coaches.

Cool, I'll look for you there. Would love to get more coaching...

There's lots of great coaching there. It's part of the boogie. The sponsored members of the Rhythm team (and others too) do a lot of load organizing.
The dirt dive and then the debrief after are full of helpful stuff, and always presented "nicely" (Steve has a way of saying "There was a lot of opportunity there" meaning "opportunity to do it better").

I've been going for the last 5 years. It's a ton of fun, and a lot of learning too.

Edit to add: Last year, JaNette took a couple of different newer jumpers and did really small stuff (3 way with her, the new one and another that she trusted). It was cool to see, even if it did mean she kicked me to the curb for the newcomers.
