Hi, i just needed confirmation about one thing. I did my AFF1 jump back in October 2011 and due to the weather and pure laziness, i waited until now to go ahead and do my AFF2. I was told by my DZ that i would need to start over completely. Is that the regular procedure set by the USPA or should i be able to do a refresher course and go on with my AFF2 jump right away? i really hope i can argue my case and skip the 6 hour class.
