LOL, it's good advice. The last thing I want to do is be all hungover and have my reflexes slowed, not to mention AFF levels aren't exactly cheap and I'd prefer to avoid repeats. Thanks for all the advice John. I appreciate it. I'm going to do my best to stay calm, relax, and focus on enjoying my jump.

I'm doing AFF at Chicagoland Skydiving Center and really like it here. It's a purpose built skydiving facility, all the equipment is new/newer, and the environment is great as well as all the staff being really friendly. It's proximity to Chicago and the Wisconsin Dells will also provide options for things to do when you're not jumping depending how long you plan on staying in the area.

Hey everyone, I'm Jake. I just got into skydiving after deciding to do a tandem for my birthday in May. Now I'm entering AFF and will be doing my 1st and 2nd jumps 4th of July weekend. I jump at Chicagoland Skydiving Center and will be there for the Independence Day Boogie so maybe I'll see some of y'all around. I'll be the anxious looking noob that's worried he's going to screw up and kill himself. Haha, I suppose that's the fun of it.
