Need To Share With NON-Whuffos

[FallinWoman 1]

I truly don't mean to brag, but my whuffo friend just do not appreciate the amazing jump I had this past weekend!!!
My DZO was determined to get me my Falcon on Saturday. I only have 45 jumps and have done very little 4-way, but I wanted it SOOOOO badly! On the first attempt there were five of us, but we only turned two points, we had some fall rate issues. I felt like I did OK, but was disappointed.
Late in the day, my DZO decided we should try again. We organized a four way with him, me, my jumpmaster from student days and another really great jumper. I was rear float and we had an awesome no touch exit. (yes, they were making me work for that Falcon!!!) We came together quickly and turned TEN points!!!! I only goofed once, and not too majorly!!!
That's a DOUBLE FALCON.
(Do you see why my whuffo friends just aren't gettin' me right now????)
Thanks for sharing my excitement!

Congrats! I managed to get a Double Falcon one day when one of the experienced jumpers asked if I was doing something on the next load. He then found two others and made the same query. We ended up having a beautiful dive and turning 9 or 10 points, would have been more had I not brain locked in a couple spots, but still good enough.

Now, now, Lisa... I distinctly remember the rules stating that you only have to pay a single case of beer per jump regardless of how many "not second's" you do in a single jump.
Anne, You rock on girl! And go buy some beer . . . I can't wait until I get to freefall. I can't wait until I get to freefall. I can't wait until I get to freefall.

We usually hold to that 1 case/jump limit too, with the exception of the 1st cutaway. You had BETTER give the rigger a case or your 2nd cutaway might not go quite as well.
