upndownshop 0 #1 December 20, 2007 Yeah!!! I got my POP's number today and its 10,500! I was hoping for a good number and I got it, hmmm wonder how that happened? And last week 12-12 was 23 years since my first jump! The earliest "normal" altitude that I remember them dropping at was 7,500 for $7.50. But by the time I was packing in 1973 it was 10,500 for $10.50. So 10,500 is one I will remember! Occasionally they would go to 12,500 but that took forever. Even though it means Im 40, I am damn proud to be a POPS! Looked up my fathers number in the book they sent, damn he was 899! Be well Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
