That's right Dave I'm talkin 'bout you. So that everyone knows, I live in San Antonio. Well my first jump course was with Dave at Aggiland at 7AM. So Dave invites me and a bud to crash at his place the night before so we didn't have to drive 3 hours in the morning. Thanks Dave, we appreciate it. Oh, I almost forgot, I enjoyed the Naked Bartending Instructional DVD. Jeff -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Yesterday I spent some time at Skydive Agiiland. I completed my first jump course, my first AFF jump, and it was my first jump from a 182 (tandems were from other AC). So I'm well on my way!! One question,my legs were flopping around like crazy. Any suggestions or drills to fix this for the next jump? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

The Hanger, the buildings, even the swimming pool. I flew over to Skydive San Marcos today and everything was missing. You'd think that those guys at Microsoft could make their new flight sim a little more realistic How many of you have had similar experiences with FS2004?

Thanks Chris! That means a lot to us ground pounders. Hoaah -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Thanks for all the replies. I feel better this morning, I just needed to vent. I want to stick with the great folks out at SSM. I guess I'll just go fishin this weekend. Anyone wanna join me? Peace!

(In the voice of Eric Cartman) "I am so pissed off right now" I finished my 2 instructional tandems 2 weekends ago. When I called the DZ today they said it might be another 2 weeks before they get a ground school together. I just want to JUMP!!! I have a 4-day weekend, and can't get in the air. I wake up thinking about jumping and go to sleep doing the same. You can only play the Daffy Duck skydiving game so much before you're insane. Thanks for letting me vent.

San Antonio, TX. I jump at Skydive San Marcos. How's the DZ in LA. I occasionally visit my sister in Alexandria and might check it out one day. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Thanks for the good poop. I'm looking forward to getting into this sport. I have learned one thing already: It costs $$$$$! I've already started selling my SCUBA gear to pay for things. Any water divers out there need gear? I've got lots. Jeff -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

1:2:1 Done two Instructional tandems today, and I owe beer for piloting a canopy for the first time! -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Where should I start looking for goggles? Who makes 'em? Thanks. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Thanks for the advice so far. A little more info: I am doing tandem progession and did my 2 tandems today. Lots of fun. I bought a logbook today. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Ok, I know it's been discussed, but I'm too damned lazy to search. I'm starting AFF soon and am wondering what I should buy first. Suit, goggles, alti? Some input to an exicited newbie please. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.

Well, this is kinda a re-intro if you will. I first posted about 2 months ago, then ran off to Haiti for a little peace enforcement action. Well, today I made my two instructional tandems at Skydive San Marcos. What a blast. Now it's on to ground school and AFF 2. See ya out there!

This in from an online news source: Former president plans skydiving on birthday. Former President George Bush hasn't had enough air time yet. For his 80th birthday, he's planning his third skydiving feat since 1997 -- and fourth jump ever. The former president also plans a party in College Station, Texas, June 12 (his birthday) and June 13 so friends and admirers can watch the next leap. Tickets will be sold, with prices beginning at $100 and the proceeds going to charity. "Clearly, after his first jump, I think he was hooked," Chris Needels, executive director of the U.S. Parachute Association and staff member on Bush's National Security Council, told The Dallas Morning News. Aggiedave, is he doing this at Skydive Aggieland? It would be kinda cool to watch. Peace.

I managed a few more days stateside (see earlier post) so I went and did my first ever skydive.

Thanks for all the feedback guys. I think today is going to be rained out. The worse part, I'm leaving town for three months on monday, and I don't think there are any good DZs in Haiti. Catch you guys later. -------------------------------------------------- In order for evil to flourish, all a good man has to do is nothing.
