floridadiver81 0 #4 January 7, 2007 well...as the money comes in i plan on being off of student status by february. My brother is helping me either piece together a rig..or finding a complete rig with half of my tax return...so that will save me money with renting gear..and once i learn to pack...it will help imensly with money issues..so i hope to be licensed by mid to end of march...or sooner depending on work schedule!!"Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

jarrodh 0 #7 January 7, 2007 You should come out to the UF Falling Gators Collegiate boogie on the 12th-15th. Im sure there will be a AFF instructor there for you to jump with. It will be fun, plus you get to meet me! I will be at Palatka for the first time for the boogie too so I will get to jump at a new place, and in some cool planes. Stay Safe Everyone2 BITS....4 BITS....6 BITS....A DOLLAR!....ALL FOR THE GATORS....STAND UP AND HOLLER!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I would love to..but im moving into and apartmnt and that is taking most of the money i will have till my income tax return gets back to me. we shall see what happens!"Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

TMPattersonJr 0 #9 January 7, 2007 QuoteI will be at Palatka for the first time Cough, Cough, BEER!!! Congrats again Jason!! Glad you had fun and are ready to do more. You should come out next weekend and go through the packing class. I don't remember right now what day it is, but will find out more for you tomorrow and post it when I do. If you learn to pack it could always be another source of income to help you on your way. I packed for almost 19 years before I started jumping (I started when I was 6, and I had a 6 year lay off due to a contractual agreement with Uncle Sam) But it can be a good source of income to help fund your skydiving needs.Blue SkiesBlack DeathFacebook www.PLabsInc.com www.SkydiveDeLand.com www.FlyteSkool.ws Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

brierebecca 0 #14 January 7, 2007 Yep. We've always had a great experience there. Art makes everyone feel welcome, and the local jumpers are great. We hope we can get back there sometime this year.
