riddler 0 #1 December 23, 2002 Well, after only a year and a half in the sport, I got my C license today. Now I get to wait 6-8 weeks to get a number. One of my goals this year was to get my "A", so it's nice to exceed my own expectations to .... ELOY!!! See ya'll there.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

ladyskydiver 0 #2 December 23, 2002 Congrats! Actually, for your number you can have them email your number to you which you can print out the email and use until your license comes in the mail.Life is short! Break the rules! Forgive quickly! Kiss slowly! Love truly, Laugh uncontrollably. And never regret anything that made you smile. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

riddler 0 #6 December 23, 2002 It's funny the things that can hold you back in this sport - like that article in parachutist about the people in Alaska that have trouble getting their D's because they can almost never do night jumps. I also have a friend that claims she will never get her B, because she doesn't want anyone to see her in a bathing suit for her water training Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

Jessica 0 #7 December 23, 2002 We didn't GET to wear bathing suits! We had to get rigged in that wet, nasty gear in all our clothes and jump into a freezing pool! Then we all changed clothes and got drunk.Skydiving is for cool people only Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #8 December 23, 2002 Definitely looking forward to jumping with you guys in Eloy, but I won't have my number then!! I'll have to wait until early next year to get it, although I hadn't heard the thing about emailing the number. Anyone know how to request that? Keep in mind, I already faxed the form ... Matter of fact, Steve, I don't think we've ever jumped at all? I'm guessing there's quite a bit of weight difference between us, so I don't know how well that would work, but I could probably stand while you sit - we'll have to talk about it.Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

riddler 0 #9 December 23, 2002 Sucks to be you. We did ours in a heated swimming pool, then did water slides and hung out in the jaccuzzi afterwards. I'm sure your training was much more realistic, though, if that makes you feel better Trapped on the surface of a sphere. XKCD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What are you calling me, a "Fat Bastard"? I do have some fall rate issues with the smaller jumpers that's for sure. I have been working on trying to slow my fall rate (now if I would only stop drinking beer), but I still fall like a rock. PS: You should update your profile. I some how think it's out of date what with you having a "C" License but only 85 jumps listed in your profile.

LouDiamond 1 #11 December 23, 2002 Call USPA and ask then to e-mail it to you or spring for the extra dough and have them expedite it."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
riddler 0 #12 December 23, 2002 What's the little jab about being a "smaller jumper"? What are you trying to say to me Just 'cause I would never make it in your hockey club doesn't mean I'm not damn sexy. Trapped on the surface of a sphere.

riddler 0 #16 December 23, 2002 C ya in Eloy wing. Did I read right - are you stationed in the land of mormons and high alcohol taxes these days? Note - don't in any way mean to offend any mormons. In fact, I think Utah is one of the most beautiful states. If anyone is offended, please assume I mis-typed and I really meant to say "mountain biking".Trapped on the surface of a sphere.
