ADRNALN 0 #1 July 16, 2001 After a long year (first tandem July 8,2000) I finally graduated from SDC's AFP. Now all I need to do is setup taking the "A" test. I was plugging away doing one jump every 30-45 days (except for the winter - call me a wussy) until the end of May when I could take it no more. In June I did 9 AFP jumps and finished off the last the last 3 this weekend. Now comes the interesting part, the only people at the DZ that I know are manifest and the instructors. Now, I can't wait to save up enough cash to get my own rig. LOL Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
