DustyP 0 #1 July 26, 2006 I did my First tandem jump july3 and going back and jumping AFF on aug.5. Can't wait. I had the same but diffrent dream for about 5 days prior to the jump, i kept saying "get ready to skydive" just before i jumped and would never finish the dream. i made it reality on the 3rd. I think i have found my calling, all i think about is jumping, the door opening and the cold air rushing in, the leap of faith, the gound seeming the it's not coming any closer. Crazy. Does anyone know if i have to used supplied equipment or can i buy my own for all of my following jumps in AFF. Is AFF diffrent than getting a licenced, or just an overall process consisting of AFF jumps? Thanks Dusty. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Chris-Ottawa 0 #2 July 26, 2006 Hey Dusty, Grats on joining the sport. I had alot of questions, especially about gear when I first started. I'd talk to your instructors first and present it to them. I bought things like my altimeter and jumpsuit during/after AFF, but nothing else. I recently bought gear at jump 20. You'll find out that everything you need to know will be taught to you, and all the gear is available for use. Plus, you're paying for it anyways, might as well use it. Chris EDIT to clarify: "I recently bought gear at jump 20." By this I mean a parachute and container, AAD etc."When once you have tasted flight..."
