Nothing wrong with Van Halen, it's just more of a tandem type song.

Your story is very similar to mine. I too paid up front for a single JM AFF course and after 4 jumps in 1 day was asked to leave. I was returning to the sport after a brief 25 year break and was confident I would sail right through. My jumps were not that bad and I as I passed each level I thought I was on my way. I was not cocky and was open to criticism, so I was kind of shocked when I got the boot. I went to another and much smaller DZ, explained what happened and was given the chance to start over. It was one of the best decisions I ever made. I am just waiting to do my A check dive now. ( I also spent 15 minutes in the tunnel)

As someone working in the ER you mite wanna remember HIPPA.

The fact that a believer may be happier than a skeptic is no more to the point than a drunken man is happier than a sober one George Bernard Shaw

After a brief 27 year break from jumping, when I started AFF my first 5 jumps were done without sleeping for about 36 hours. As a nurse working nights I was use to this but this was the dumbest thing I ever did.

IT took me 10 but i was a bonehead on my first few, I use to jump back in the 80's and i was use to my pc being on my leg so my hand kept wanting to go there instead of the BOC. It's all cake now. The nain problem now is where I jump I just need my check dive for my A but they are a bit short staffed.

I think it depends alot on where you jump and who your instructors are. Just watch the aff's on youtube.
