kidicarus 0 #1 March 31, 2006 I'm curious as to how many JM remain current after several years. Please post Year cert, #, and if no longer active reason for being so. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wmw999 2,116 #2 March 31, 2006 Well, while in the title you ask for current, and in the body you ask for expired, so here goes: Certified 1983, expired 1988. I took 13 years off of jumping, and had been too irregular to be particularly current at AFF before then. Obviously I'd have to be recertified to start again, and DZs have changed; I don't think I want to. I don't think they had certificate numbers then, but I could be wrong. It's been awhile... Wendy W.There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.

riggerrob 558 #3 March 31, 2006 I earned a PFF/I rating in 1989, but did not do many PFF/AFF dives during the 1990s, so repeated the PFF/I course in 2000, and have stayed current since then. For example, I have done seven PFF dives during the last month. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
GravityGirl 0 #4 March 31, 2006 Got my rating in 1997 and remained current. Although during the year of my pregnancy and the one following, it was by the skin of my teeth. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Peace and Blue Skies! Bonnie ==>Gravity Gear! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sky15 0 #9 April 2, 2006 Rated in 1994, barely stayed current in last 5 years (had 2 kids, yada yada). Every year I wonder if it'll be my last year teaching and maybe even jumping, but I keeping hanging in there. Pretty proud of keeping the rating this long while having a couple of babies, it sure does make it difficult. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #10 April 3, 2006 Got my USPA rating in 1992, came back to SA in 1993 and did the PASA AFF evaluation course. Couldn't renew my USPA rating since there are no S&TA's here. I've remained current since then doing an average of about 150 AFF dives a year. If I go back to the US I'll need to go through the process to get my rating again, but I've learned something on every course I've been on, so I'm ok with that. tIt's the year of the Pig.
