storm1977 0 #5 August 27, 2003 To put it out there so you do not have to click the link. The new minimum jump # to be eligable for a licence are as follows: A- 25 jumps B- 50 jumps c- 200 jumps D- 500 jumps This takes effect sept 30th. All those getting their respective licences prior to that date will be able to maintain that that licence. ----------------------------------------------------- Sometimes it is more important to protect LIFE than Liberty Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
