I'm doing my first tandem on the 7th from 18,000ft and from what I hear I need to breathe oxygen for the jump. Probably a rookie question but do I breathe it on the way up and then jump without it? I'm pretty sure I don't need it for the short time it takes to get to 15,000 ft or wherever the air starts but I figured I'd ask out of curiousity. Thanks

Thanks for the advice. I enjoy the fact that I'm so new to all this and have so much to learn. Watching videos of people attempting AFF test it's so easy to sit there and say all the motions look so simple. I give you props for going straight to it. I thought about going that route but I am going this time with several other friends/rookies and want to have the group experience. Hopefully this will get them interested as well.

I have a feeling that is coming. I've already begun looking over the different levels and what is required to pass. I'm suprised I waited this long in life to get into skydiving but I'm only 33 so I got plenty of time. I'm not nervous at all and I like that the fact that for my first jump I get to simply enjoy the ride. I'm going to decide after the jump whether to go straight to AFF or get a few more tandems in to "get used" to falling so I can keep my head in check for the test.

Thanks! Great to be here. I didn't realize that I was lucky enough to live about 30 minutes away from a dropzone that offered jumps that high. They say I'm suppsed to fall for a minute and a half. It should be fun....,hopefully it will be my first of many.

Hey everyone....I've been doing a lot of research and browsing on here but decided to hold off until I had my first jumped booked. I got a 18000 foot tandem scheduled with a few friends at the dropzone here in Cullman Alabama. I look forward to it and hope to meet some new friends along the way.
