Eule 0 #12 December 6, 2005 Quotegraduated AFF this weekend, Congratulations! Quoteafter 6 months () Don't feel bad. :) I remember responding to what was probably your pre-second post ( http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1742664 ) and at that time I had been jumping for about four weekends. Well, now I've been jumping for a few more weekends than that and I'm still working on my AFF. Maybe since I'm twice your age it will take me twice as long... I'll check back with you next summer. :) EulePLF does not stand for Please Land on Face. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NlghtJumper 0 #13 December 6, 2005 Congrats Mike! I have been trying to work my way thru my own AFF. I only had a week to get as much as I could, and only got 4 jumps in. Now I just have to wait to get out of this deployment to finish up. But you know I will be jumping as much as I can next time I near the DZ! Anyway! Congrats Man!
