AggieDave 6 #7 November 26, 2001 A jumpmaster throws your butt into a pool, they throw a canopy over your head and you have to demonstrate how to get out from under it, basically. AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FallinWoman 1 #9 November 26, 2001 Congrats, Joe!It took me until about 65 jumps to get mine cuz Jason didn't hold water training in forever!!!Not a big deal, but now you can do night jumps!And.....BEER! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingILweenie 0 #10 November 26, 2001 Yeah...i was just joking cuz i got about 250 jumps and only my A....the water training has been avoiding me!!!For example one time i was driving from Illinois to Indiana to do it at a DZ there and i forgot that Indiana doesn't do daylight savings time so it was an hour later there....nothing beats driving an hr to have something like that dawn on you where you turn around and come back.....oh well, i will do it someday.......blue skiesTomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #11 November 26, 2001 do the water training and skip right to a "D" license, right?Who needs a stinking B or C??? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
AggieDave 6 #12 November 26, 2001 I'm skipping my B, I can use that license money for jumps, and going straight to C...only a few more jumps AggieDave '02-------------Blue Skies and Gig'em Ags!BTHO t.u. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #13 November 26, 2001 I went ahead and got my B, but now I am trying to figure out why to get a C. I don't want to pursue a coaches rating anytime soon, what esle does a C allow me?? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingILweenie 0 #14 November 26, 2001 Yeah i will....i think i need to take the tests for the b and the c licenses but that shouldnt be a problem. i also gotta do the nite jumps and probably do a couple more accuracy jumps.blue skiesTomas Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallingILweenie 0 #15 November 26, 2001 The C gives you more time between jumps w/out worrying bout currency...... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #16 November 26, 2001 What are you, a slacker trying to take time off between jumps??? Who needs longer currency requirements?? Just jump! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
