Just a ridiculously good time, and possibly a good tip for learners

I did AFF at Skydive Temple in Salado, TX. The army decided I should go to Camp Atterbury immediately after i finished AFF, nobody asked me. I did 4 jumps at Jerry's Skydiving Circus (Explore Free Fall) while TDY, and I have to say, jumping a new DZ while in student status was amazing for my personal growth. I had to jump unfamiliar gear at an unfamiliar dropzone, from an unfamiliar aircraft with unfamiliar people.

I got better at DZ ID, tracking and canopy flying with very little instruction, and got a free packing class.

A big plus is that both DZs are amazing.

What a great time.

Hi joel,

What a great time.

I am a strong believer that newer jumpers should visit other dropzones for all that you have posted.

I had 20 jumps when I went off to a dz that I knew no one at and entered a parachute contest. I had to ask the other guys in the plane where I should get out at.

I did not win anything, but I made the field on both jumps.
