Kramer 0 #1 November 14, 2003 I'm a college student, I made five student jumps towards the end of last summer. I plan on picking it back up by switching over to AFF come some warmer weather. Anyway, I was wondering what all I would need to do to become a packer. I would like to try to do that for a summer job this upcoming summer. Assuming I find a DZ that would hire me as a packer, what else would I have to do to make this job possible? I realize I'd first have to learn to pack, etc. But what are the USPA requirements to be a packer...I do not have to have an A license, correct? Let me know...thanks. -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #2 November 14, 2003 You have to know how to pack and you have to find a rigger thats willing to supervise you. Thats it...Yesterday is history And tomorrow is a mystery Parachutemanuals.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kramer 0 #3 November 14, 2003 Huh...that's easier than I thought it'd be. Thanks Phree. Alright, for the sake of offering myself a challenge, what if I wanted to become a rigger? I'm guessing at this point in the game, a license of sorts would be required, right? -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

indyz 1 #4 November 14, 2003 There's a whole thread devoted to the details of becoming a rigger right at the top of this forum. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Vallerina 2 #5 November 14, 2003 Talk to Ward. He's a great packer, and if you buy him beer, he'll be more than happy to help! You know that Ashley packs there, right? She's a great packer...even before she made any jumps.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Kramer 0 #6 November 14, 2003 Yeah, there's another kid named Daniel that packs. He's a packing God. I've see him put away 30 of those things on a given Saturday, and he's only like 15 or something. Val, do you think the ISA gets enough business for a guy like myself to be able to pack enough to pull in at least 200/week with? -Kramer The FAKE KRAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMER!!!!!!!!!

I honestly don't know because I haven't been there once this season But, it's a great place to learn from. Bo and Paula are both great teachers. Ward is a great packer, and he's also a great person to learn from. It's cold, so I'm sure that they would be more than happy to help you learn some packing techniques.There's a thin line between Saturday night and Sunday morning Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
