New to sport parachuting

I Spent a few years at ft Bragg jumping military static line. I moved to Texas where there aren't any airborne units. I missed jumping so much I decided to give skydiving a shot. Might of been the best decision I've made in my life

Where in Texas are you jumping?

Welcome.

Not very far, a whole 18 jumps. I'd be done if the weather wasn't so bad lately. The staff at dz are probably surviving on ramen noodles and cheap beer at the moment. I don't think they've been able to get the plane up for a few weeks now.

Just curious. I am at Dallas fairly often.

That's pretty much it! We had one good Thursday but otherwise it keeps raining! Someone needs to do a anti-rain dance!

Welcome to sport skydiving! What altitude were your military s/l jumps from? Low exits are scary!

Skydiving with square parachutes is sooo much better than static line round jumps. Enjoy!

And the best part is . .. you already are expert at PLFs. You can teach some of the class.
