EDYDO 0 #4 June 24, 2010 Yep, that policy seems petty to me. I'd like to see it changed, but looks like that won't happen since most of the board favor it. Ed Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

stratostar 5 #6 June 24, 2010 Why not just get your D then? If you can't jump at night file for a waver or restricted D as others have in the past.you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkymonkeyONE 4 #7 June 24, 2010 You know, back in the day, you could not compete at nationals at all unless you had a D license and had competed at a regional competition. My D license still stays "Master License" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I qualified many years ago, mostly. All that's left is to jump into a swimming pool with a canopy over me & survive. The point is that the "D" requirement is irrelevant and, as has been noted before, petty. I spent nearly 30 years working toward my 12-hour badge & don't want it sullied by a waiver. Ditto the PRO rating. If I can meet the accuracy requirements, I should get the rating regardless of which license I hold, what color socks I'm wearing, or whether I can play a kick-ass version of "Penny Lane" on the guitar. I'm already an emotional cripple, and can survive without the 12-hour badge, But I do believe the people who support the "D" requirement should have the guts to step up and explain why.
