dhayes 0 #2 November 24, 2003 Almost forgot, i just finished my level 3 jump Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites BoogieBob 0 #3 November 25, 2003 Congratulations. Good luck with the rest of AFF. You do have an open line of credit right? That's what it took for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites McDuck 0 #4 November 25, 2003 Right on! Keep at it. Your finances may dwindle, but your spirit will soar like never before! Congratulations on your level 3 jump. Let us know when you graduate AFF...so we can ask what kind of BEER you plan on buying.

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #7 November 28, 2003 I didn't have to repeat any. My instructors told me that roughly 3/10 will get through without having to repeat. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites samhussey 0 #8 November 28, 2003 I didn't have to do any repeats, but the two guys I was there with both had to do a couple (2 or 3) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #9 November 28, 2003 I met someone who had to repeat level 3 five times. ouch... I kinda wish I'd failed a lev or two, tho... don't quite feel ready to jump solo yet. I have the skills but not the confidence. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites samhussey 0 #10 November 28, 2003 I felt the same on my first solo. Its one thing going out with an instructor, but when you're on your own.... Once you've done it though, you'll know you can handle it. Your instructors already know it, now it's time for you to find out first hand! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Nightingale 0 #11 November 28, 2003 I know... Was gonna do the solo this weekend, but got food poisoning yesterday, so still kinda weak and dizzy, tho feeling better now. I figure if I'm dizzy on the ground, being in the air would be BAD. maybe on sunday, if I'm feeling MUCH better (and somehow find cash) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Join the conversation You can post now and register later.
