I have my A license already, but I have to complete some initial jumps before they sign me off again. I started with the ground school on 12/04/04 and AFF. Everything went very well and they decided to move me to category D AFF. 11 years gave me the opportunity to have kids, a wife, and most importantly the money to do this. I'm 39 and really look forward to the weekends. I really get pumped when I gear up! Just ordered some gear to replace my old gear I sold 11 years ago Talon, Strato Cloud Delta, Swift + replaced with : Mirage G4, Spectre 190, PD reserve 176, Cypres II. Now, what do I tell my 7 year old girl who says, "Daddy, can I go too?" My head is like my canopy, fully inflated!
