hchunter614 0 #10 June 25, 2009 Yes, that is the correct page to join USPA. Then, once you get all of your requirements completed for your A license you will pay another fee to get your A license number (the yellow card that is either 1/2 page or a full page). On the form at the URL above... Select "New, Annual; U.S. Mailing Addresses, incl. APO/FPO: $65", do not fill in any of the boxes in the first section (USPA License Numbers, Membership Number, etc) because you're a new member and don't have any yet. Fill in the 2nd section, add it to your cart and check out. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
rlucus 0 #11 June 25, 2009 You don't have to pay a fee for the A if you don't want a number... you can jump with just a stamp on the yellow card. Then send it in when your ready for your B and only have to pay license fee. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
MakeItHappen 15 #12 June 25, 2009 QuoteYes, the Individual Membership Application. No "ground test" needed. Where did you hear about that? Gary, you must have missed that part of the last meeting. They have a new ground test to see if you are 'becoming' enough to be a member. If you fail the test, then they write you a nice custom letter saying you are 'unbecoming a skydiver' and deny your membership. I've 'heard' that mooning a pilot doing a buzz job, flashing your tits, writing profanity laced emails and publicly expressing personal opinions are among the reasons to deny or revoke membership. If you pass, you get the form letter, another decal, a shiny new membership card and an ad magazine with a letter or two from members. But wait - that's not all - you get exuberant lobbyists fending off undue government regulation to such an extent as to publish falsehoods in official documents that drag the organization into lawsuits that they settle and infuse money to beat down a manufacturer. At the upcoming meeting there is a movement to add in a Ginsu knife set for an extra $10.00. (It has a sponsor logo on the handle.) ..

I always thought not doing those things was conduct unbecoming a skydiver I always thought that too. But, hey, times are achangin'. There is a big billboard of new 'rules' in the works that predetermine your fate for certain things. I thought it was a guideline, but it is being pushed by the collective and too many of the assimilated don't see the dangers of hard wiring and non-uniform enforcement. The really sad part is that no one else knows about these things, except a handful of people that think they 'know best'. It's like Congress voting on bills they haven't read. Same problem, but it does not have to be that way, nor should it be that way if proper amendment procedures were followed. ..
