aggie04 0 #1 June 14, 2004 So today I made my first aff jump(it was a cat C) and it was WONDERFUL!!! Not only did i do my first aff jump, i jumped a canopy I packed. Today was a great day. I was worried after my two working tandems that i wasn't as excited about skydiving anymore but now there is no doubt in my mind...i was meant to jump!! Anyways, just had to share the excitement with anyone and everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

aero04 0 #5 June 14, 2004 Well Cool!!! Another Aggie Jumper. Welcome to the sky. I haven't been to Aggieland in about a month after graduating from A&M, but keep it up and you too can be on my SCR attempts.... (Ask Aggiedave about that one) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
aggie04 0 #6 June 14, 2004 Well I became a packer about a month ago and i have been packing for other people for the past two weeks so thats why I got to jump my own pack job. I didn't actually realize I would be jumping it when i was packing it. I thought about having someone re-pack it, just because it's definitely a little scary especially on the first jump but then again i have had over 20 successful openings so nothing to be worried about...right Congrats on finishing your aff course!! I wish I was that close to my license. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
nightjumps 1 #7 June 14, 2004 Well, if you guys are still working on your SCR's, may I suggest you attend the skyfestboogie.com Last year, we graduated thirty-something SCR/SCS in one weekend. The boogie's primary focus is to assist all those with <200 jumps achieve the SCR awards, the USPA awards, get on some bigger formations, etc. I "believe" AggieDave and Mark are coming to this year's event as will flyangel2 to help the ladies with their PinkPatch TeXXas dives.

lifewithoutanet 0 #8 June 14, 2004 Awesome! Congratulations. Had to wonder about packing your own for your first jump, but then saw that you became a packer a while ago. Again, congrats to you and here's to many more skydives! -C. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Dumpster 0 #9 June 14, 2004 Congrats and welcome to the sport!! (((hugs!!)))) My daughter Sarah will complete AFF soon and has several hundred pack jobs under her belt, many of which I've jumped myself. (She hasn't jumped one of her own yet, though - ! ) You should be very proud of yourself! Easy Does It Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
