Melissa126 0 #1 August 19, 2010 So freaking excited. I did my first tandem June 3rd, my first AFF jump July 10th. Tuesday August 17th I did my check dive and got my A license!!! I also got to jump the chute I packed. What a great night!!! And the pie in the face made me feel right at home. Just thought I'd share since I can't contain my excitement . I feel so accomplished, it was a bumpy road at times, I completely drained my bank account, and now scrape pennies to get on the next load, but I wouldn't change a thing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wXzhpy1y42U Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wildcard451 0 #5 August 19, 2010 Congrats! Don't sacrifice too much in life to jump. Huge debt may be more pressure that jumping can relieve. Otherwise, HAVE FUN!. Remember your priorities now: Look good, Have fun, Safety third. And kick Andy in the shins for me. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Melissa126 0 #6 August 19, 2010 haha good advice! I do not own a credit card, so I paid for everything in cash, so I like to tell myself "I'm not in debt, I just don't have any extra."!!! p.s. I think I injured andy enough in aff, no shin kickin! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Hahaha, seems like it was just yesterday that you were talking about doing your 3rd tandem... and I was like, 'why don't you just do AFF?'.. and you were like, 'well my friend is doing a tandem and I want to go again too.' and then for some reason you did a 3rd tandem, while on vacation or something I think?
