Funniest thing heard during AFF school.

Two of my favorites are from one instructor who will remain nameless.

My AFF level 4 jump. He promised to give me some advice to calm me down before goin out. The advice:

Don't Fuck up.

Same teacher has a shirt that says "A dead student is not a repeat customer"

Not heard, but seen. Level 8 jump with Gabor. Had a great jump all manuevers complete. Gabor picks his nose and flicks it at me in freefall. It made me laugh. I got a little unstable and laughed all the way down.

The only time you should look down on someone is when you are offering them your hand.

I usually don't give such advice until their "A" license check dive. Then I will give them the "beer" signal to them just before they track off.

During AFF my JM and I were going over hand signals on the ride to altitude.He got to the last one and made an "OK/perfect" signal and wiggled his fingers a bit. (Imagine making a circle w/you first finger and thumb,then wiggling the remaining fingers..sry.stupid explaination). Well I tensed up b/c I didn't know this signal and sheepishly told him I didn't remember that one. He grinned and said "it means 'quit flying like an asshole'." I laughed and relaxed the rest of the way to altitude.The jump went fine and I didn't fly like an asshole.

That same instructor told me that when I graduated. Usually when i see him on the plane, i always say it back to him... That, and I always ask him if his cypress is on, on one of our jumps, he forgot to turn it on, I didn't find out about it til, we were in the plane. Just ask him if he needs a gear check, and ask about his cypress.

My AFF instructor did something similar but tucked the thumb in to close the loop. It was 'Your flying like a chicken with its head cut off, You've signed the waiver (3 fingers up look like a W), your fucked (drop two fingers)'

She also kicked me out of the door on my graduation dive. I was taking too long and she didn't want to go around with her AFF level 1 student.

Ever see the "pull, take up bowling" signal?

Give a pull sign, then act like you've just rolled a bowling ball.
