Tuna-Salad 0 #1 September 5, 2008 Hello. As some of you may or may not know. I might of set a new record (or not) for having the most jumps without an A. This mainly due to the fact I did not want to pack and jump my own rig and that I also had a severe lack of motivation. That being said.. after 72 jumps I finally have my A. I plan to uphold the beer laws to the fullest extent.Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jloirsdaan 0 #2 September 5, 2008 Congrats! It took me 36 jumps and I thought that was a lot. Have fun with it, part of the reason it took me 36 was packing as well. I HATE packing and am very happy being married to a rigger/packer. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #3 September 5, 2008 Packing wasn't so bad.. I just always had lots of trouble closing the container... Then I did not want to jump it. Packing was invented to give us something to do between loads Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jloirsdaan 0 #4 September 5, 2008 I just hate packing. I've jumped plenty of my own packjobs and will pack if I have to....but it makes skydiving not as fun for me....and I jump to have fun. Jordan Go Fast, Dock Soft. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tuna-Salad 0 #5 September 5, 2008 I have to give credit to Khan.. (Is that right?) he is a great teacher and really helped to simplify the whole process. I also did a few things I should not of while not having an A (group skydives). That was really.. well there aren't words to say how stupid that was of me and I think what was left of my "cool factor" at the dz has pretty much been shot but it's of my own making so deal with it as it happens.Millions of my potential children died on your daughters' face last night.

speuci 0 #6 September 5, 2008 I know a guy who frequents Hollister DZ in Northern California who has 90+ jumps and has yet to get his A license. For some reason or another, he hasn't done the 3500ft hop n pop! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skydude2000 3 #15 September 7, 2008 You got nuthin' on me, lol. I just got my 'A' back two weeks ago, and I did my 150th jump last weekend. That's what you get with no rig, no money and a MAJOR lack of currency. Congrats on your 'A' though. Now the real fun begins.PULL!! or DIE!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deisel 35 #17 September 7, 2008 You're not even close. I have around 150 and still dont have my A. I'm waiting for at least 200 and a coach course. But a buddy of mine is well over 500.
