Close, it is an 8 jump program at Elsinore but I had to repeat one level because I didn't save my own life. . .

bad, bad, bad. . .

I think the 7 jump AFF is more common than the 8 in the US as well, but now there are so many different tandem progression programs out there as well.

Probably easier to poll for the number of level repeats.

you are probably right, is there any way of changing it

level 1 repeat-altitude unaware, instructor deploy
level 2 repeat-same
level 2 repeat- de arched at pull time because of the huge rig was difficult to reach the hacky. Although I did pull it and didn't go unstable at all the instructor pulled from the reserve side and I was told I would have to repeat 2 again.
I didn't jump again for almost 2 years. Went to another dz, did a retrain and never repeated again getting off student status in very short order doubling up levels!

I was so good that I completed first 5 levels in 4 jumps. However, I messed up later so it took me 9 jumps to complete the 7-jump AFF.

I passed by doing 3 Tandems, and 4 AFF levels.

You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

I did 2 tandems before 7 AFF jumps, "A" in 25, and "B" as soon as I get my butt to a DZ to take the written test.

No rejumps here. Rejumps aren't a big deal, some people have to do them, some don't... they all count towards your license anyway.

Definitely alot quicker than I could have done it over in this weather forsaken country

Took me 11 jumps to pass 7-jump AFF. I had a modified tandem progression. After the 3 tandems, I did level 2, 3, then skipped to 5 and had to do level 5 four times and I passed 6 and 7 with no problems.

I'm so funny I crack my head open!

I passed an 8-jump AFF course in 9 jumps (one level IV rejump), and qualified after 19 jumps in total.

[Douva 0]

I graduated level eight, fifty-four hours after showing up to make my first jump.

I passed AFF in 7 jumps and thought I was the man.
At 300 jumps I thought I knew something.
After 500 jumps I realized I knew nothing.
After 792 jumps I realize I suck.

Now I just try to suck a little less each jump.

I had to repeat 2 levels in AFP (Advanced Freefall Program), so I completed with 17 jumps, not including the 3 tandems that were required at the time (my DZ has not offered static line for some time, plus I had no interest in static line in the first place). AFP was a 15 jump program, now it is 18.

Getting over the middle portion of the course was the hardest for me.

Having said that, I had a B license until about jump 1100 or so, until the potential of doing video for the Nationals made me get the D. One buddy is going to beat me though. He has his A with about 1100 jumps now. One of the competitors that made elimination in the World free fly meet last month got to jump 1500 on his A license, I think.

I have to echo other posts here: jumps are just a number. The more I jump, the more I know I will always be learning.

11 jump program took 13 jumps. Stable poised exits from a Skyvan took me a while to get right .

In South Africa our AFF course is 8 levels - but level eight is three jumps - two solos from altitude and a H+P. 10 jumps in total, i passed in 10.

BTW Mixologist, i love your post dude, i'm currently sitting with the pre-300 jump bust fib/tib, an injury that reminded me i know nothing

I took 26 jumps through the static line progression system and very proud to do so - jumps dont make the man the man just make the jumps

[dmbale 0]

I took eleven jumps to pass. One jump I took my instructor for a 3000 ft. tumble...never close eyes on first dive out exit.....

My brother-in-laws passed in 7 jumps but my husband passed in 5 jumps (55 static line jumps ten years prior to AFF).
