Should I just do it?? you mine as well. it really is a easy test. then you can just stop paying for your B or C or whatever you had. and just pay for the D. i never got my A, B, or C. i just got my D. being a dropzone owners son means i really didn't have to have anything (hell i couldn't have a licience until i was 16 anyway) later Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest #4 March 6, 2003 Yup, because at the end of this year, the USPA, in keeping with FAI agreements, will raise the bar for a D license from 200 jumps to 500. You might need a D to be able to do some things some day. You never know, but why work harder?"The mouse does not know life until it is in the mouth of the cat."

rgoper 0 #6 March 6, 2003 i'm shocked! just a while back there was a big debate on how a "D" license made you a safer skydiver. now i see talk of bypassing the A B C, etc...sheesh. this discussion just shores up the point i was trying to make, the letter don't make a f*ck. --Richard-- "We Will Not Be Shaken By Thugs, And Terroist" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steve1 5 #16 March 6, 2003 The first four years that I jumped, in the olden days, I never bothered to get any license. You really didn't need one back then. If you wanted to jump someplace else all you had to do was manifest up and get on a load. If you wanted to make a demo, you just did it. Things are different now. I went to another drop zone ( a few years back,when I started jumping again), hoping to jump, and it was almost impossible to get on a load. It took about a half a day of making phone calls and begging the DZ manager to let me jump. Finally he alowed me to jump with him on a check-out jump. So I realized I had to get a license. I now have a D-license but have never had the others. It might be good to have this for demo purposes as was mentioned earlier. As far as being a safer jumper, just because a person has a D license, I have my doubts on that one. Steve1 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
