freefalle 0 #2 February 8, 2007 its a good idea to have someone else sign your log. Especially if you want to go for ratings at some point I had someone else sign mine until I had 500 jumps. Thats just my .o2 have fun and don't die. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

You should have licensed skydivers sign off on every jump if you are shooting for a license in the future. If you want the D license, get the first 500 jumps signed off, for example."Mediocre people don't like high achievers, and high achievers don't like mediocre people." - SIX TIME National Champion coach Nick Saban Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Tonto 1 #4 February 8, 2007 Here, some ratings require 1000 dives and 10 hours of "documented freefall time." I had the 1st 1000 signed off by someone else. In 2005, checking into Perris, they were not happy that my last dive, done in Eloy ome 2 days before, was not signed. (Jump 4000 something) My SO singed it and they were happy. tIt's the year of the Pig. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Perris gave me a pretty hard time because I didn't have signatures on my jumps. They only let me jump because I had just gotten my coach rating the weekend before and that was a signed form.~D Where troubles melt like lemon drops Away above the chimney tops That's where you'll find me.

(Jump 4000 something) My SO singed it and they were happy. t To be honest, I saw the same thing at Perris in 2005, and it confused me. An experienced jumper showed his logbook in line before me at the student trailer where they were validating experience for all new waiver jumpers. The last few entries in his book were not signed, but one a few jumps prior was. He said, and I quote as best as I can remember: "The signed off jump is within the currency period. If you ignored all the jumps after it, if I tore them out of my logbook, I still could jump by the USPA and DZ rules. So why do the signed ones not count?" The reply was, "Get the last one signed. There are plenty of skydivers here today. Those are the rules." The skydiver replied, "So you rather get me to go out side of this office, find a random skydiver to forge my logbook since he does not know me, so the LAST jump is signed - instead of keeping this honest and respecting the fact a jumps few jumps prior was signed legitimately and is within a few weeks." Based upon the reply, the skydiver forged the book and jumped that day... I still don't understand this. But, I now always make sure that my last jump is signed before I travel.

floridadiver81 0 #7 February 8, 2007 aight..so basically for a jump to count towards pretty much anything, rating, licenses etc....all jumps have to be signed by a licensed jumper other than myself?"Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

popsjumper 2 #8 February 8, 2007 Some DZs are anal about that, yes. Some don't even check because it's too easy to forge signatures anyway. What I do is get my jumps signed by someone anyway. I especially like to get signatures of the Big Boys when I jump with them. When I old and decrepit, I'll have a logbook that I can look back on and reminisce. Plus it just avoids that whole "signed logbook" craziness.My reality and yours are quite different. I think we're all Bozos on this bus.
