NtheSeaOrSky 0 #3 February 16, 2002 Yeah, see, thats the funny part! I asked one of the guys about beer (the biggest beer whore of them all) and he said NO! No beer, spend your money on jumps for a while, buy beer later . Well, if HE said so! LOL I probably still will though! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #6 February 16, 2002 Yes, it was AFF. For the first time, I saw the other jumpers in freefall! And, as I was about to pass through a cloud, a circular rainbow on the top of it. NEAT! Man, all the stuff Ive been missing! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MarkM 0 #8 February 16, 2002 Yeah, that was most likely smoke off the nearby factory towers. No way a skydiver would ever jump through clouds. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Skyrose7 0 #10 February 16, 2002 Congratulations! I just have a quick question. How long "usually" does the aff program take. I went through static line, and that was 17 jumps. just woooonderin.The mind is like a parachute--it works better when it is open. JUMP. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lazerq3 0 #11 February 16, 2002 Most Aff programs are 7 jumps!! and then your off student status. But with the new ISP I think your a student until your A lic! Someone wanna doulbe check me!jason Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
SkydiveMonkey 0 #12 February 16, 2002 The norm is to do about 10 consolidation jumps as well. You shouldn't put a knife in the toaster - but you're an adult now !!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
