wmw999 2,378 #7 June 24, 2012 You were a skydiver long ago -- once you determine that you're going to master something in skydiving, and figure out how to do it -- you're a skydiver. Congrats on your A license. Wendy P.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

popsjumper 2 #12 June 25, 2012 QuoteCongrats! Curious as to why you didnt just apply for your B though.... I would guess a small matter of meeting both A and B requirements at this time.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.

With a little patience and dedication, anything is possible :P Now on for that B! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Amyr 0 #17 June 25, 2012 WELL i did not Apply for my B CAUSE I SUCKED BIG TIME> I just now got the Jumps passed off. IT actually took me all of those 68 jumps to be able to perform well enough to pass the levels. I was placed back on AFF 3 times so I I actually graduated twice from AFF in one weekend that has to be some kind of record. How many people graduate AFF 4 times!!! BUT I did take a canopy class and I have the required jumps free fall time and accuracy jumps. SO i just need water training and I CAN SWIM LIKE A FISH!!!!!!!!! <<< finally something i can do hopefully the first time SO i think I can get my B. I think my log book has something like 10 failed exits in a row. Says EXIT SUCKED LANDING SUCKED. Then i had a couple good ones and was placed back off student status and GUESS WHAT tumbled the exit twice and was a student again! For another 8 to 10 exits. STILL HATE POISED EXITS BUT I CAN DO THEM! Thanks WENDY for posting your log book really helped me keep going.

I started in Oct and only had 13 jumps by Jan so i have done 55 jumps since Jan 1 my goal is to do 100 by my 1 year date of Oct 8. If i get my own rig i plan on doing more then 100. I also have to go see POPjumper in August at the farm because he sure was a lot of moral support as well. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites UliToo 0 #22 June 25, 2012 Woohoooo!

You hold your breath and swim free. They they tell you that that you must come up under the faberic and get a breath or you really didn't learn anything. That is your luck, right?
