sweeney 0 #26 January 13, 2003 It was jumpable weather for 373 consecutive days? Anyways, I started jumping in July and made 5 jumps that month. I made about 30 in August, 40 in September, 40 in October, 40 in November, 40 in December, and about 35 so far this month. I heard Paul Raffety (golden knights 8-way team cpt.) saying when they go to yuma from Jan. 20 to begginning of March they make about 250 jumps.

homer 0 #27 January 13, 2003 I jump as much as I can. and if I cant jump I read all my parachutist , skydiving mags again. Now I'm reading the 2003 SIMS. QuoteI heard Paul Raffety (golden knights 8-way team cpt.) saying when they go to yuma from Jan. 20 to begginning of March they make about 250 jumps. I'm looking to go to Drill sergeants school here in the next year and after my 2 years are over I want to go back active again. My unltimate goal is to be a Golden Night. I figure by that time I should have over 500 jumps. Although all you need is 125 jumps to try out for the Nights last that I knew.

bps 0 #37 January 15, 2003 Good ol Mike Spurgeon. Very likeable guy -- I worked with him at Lodi for about a year before I moved to Colorado. He may be 60ish, but he's still truckin along doing 8+ tandems in a day...pretty cool if you ask me. Oh yea, in answer to the question as to "how often do you jump". Every day that the weather allows! Blue Skies, Bryan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
