    It's funny because i remember my AFF instructor explaining a "nut under" right before my first solo. I was thinking "Great as if i don't have enough to worry about already" lol

    That is awesome man, looks very enjoyable. I build and race drag cars (have been for 10+ years) but never tried the karting thing. Looks like a whole new rush. Be safe and have fun with it

    Thanks for the info, that is exactly what i want to hear from the people that have been doing it for years and the people with only a few recent jumps. I will def listen to my instructors over anyone else. I was a Drill SGT for 2 years i know how that goes, i am only looking for experienced opinions here. LMAO at the nudist camp jump mind = blown

    Thanks for the advice, yeah i definitely plan to hang out at the DZ watch, listen and ask questions whenever i am not in training. I will be 7 hrs from home and will not have anything better to do not knowing anyone. I just don't want to get in other peoples way.

    Awesome, i love the positive feedback on the sport. I hope you get finished up. I took 2 weeks vacation and reserved a room starting the 24th of this month. i hope the weather cooperates with me as well. Good luck on finishing up and thank you for the welcome.

    Awesome man, i know how you feel on the deployments. Appreciate the help and time to answer or assist me with questions. Stay safe over there brother.

    Don't sound silly to me. I will give it a shot. Thanks again

    Thank you for the welcome and tip skymama. Relaxing looks like it is going to be the hard part especially in the beginning. I believe (hope) after a few jumps the relaxation becomes easier lol. I keep my cool and relax in a lot of crazy situations i.e repelling into hostile environments, house raids, fire fights ect.. but this is a whole new ball game. I really don't think it will be possible for me to relax starting off. Is there any secrets or tips to relaxing during the starting stages?

    First off thank you for the info. I would really like to hit a tunnel before going, however the closest one to me is 4 hrs south in TENN. I will be staying in Chicago for a couple of weeks to complete the training, And do not know anyone there so if i can find a wind tunnel near by i will more than likely check it out at first chance.

    Hello all, My name is Chris, i just got out of the army after 11 yrs as a U.S Army Ranger. I now work as a contractor for the special forces. I have always wanted to skydive but with 5 deployments never had the time, now that i am out i finally have a chance. I will be going to Chicago hopefully on the 24th of this month to try for my A-License. Right now i am more excited than anything but i know the nerves will hit when i get there (if not before) I have been brought to this site from many google searches and i love the info i get from it. I am always up for tips, tricks, dos and do nots and info from more experienced people. I travel the U.S a lot so maybe i will be able to meet and jump with some of you in the future. Thanks in advance for the help and info.
