  1. When I did my first AFP jump, I landed, looked around and didn't see anyone. I did feel abandoned, then started to collect my parachute and walk back in. Then my instructor came riding out in a truck to pick me up. I really appreciated that, especially because of the 90 degree temp. Same thing happened on each AFP jump after that... __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"
  2. I did it on my own. I tried to get others to do it with me, but they just came out to watch. I still can't understand how they can watch people having so much fun and not try it themselves... __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

  6. It sounds like you are responsible enough, so go ahead and charge the AFF. Who needs A+ credit anyway? __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"
  7. Welcome back to the sport. Glad to see that you didn't let the broken ankle keep you away!
  8. Congrats to you and your brother! How nice that you were able to do this together.
  9. Still a student because I completely demolished my knee on jump # 8. Good news is that after 112 days, I downsized from crutches to a cane. __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"
  10. This was so incredibly fun to read! I can't wait to get back to AFF! Thanks for posting this and congratulations on passing AFF.

  12. I agree... Who cares? It's just a form of entertainment after all... __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

  17. Two months ago, I also had a landing injury on jump #8. I broke my knee in a couple places, tore several ligaments and my meniscus. This goober is still on crutches. __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"

  21. Your mom sounds like quite a character. I'm sure she is lots of fun.
  22. I have to repeat level 3 also. The JM released at 9000 feet and I started turning due to my legs not being symmetrical. Then I go and break my leg upon landing. Now I have to wait until next year to repeat level 3. I would kick myself if I could! Remember to keep your feet and knees together. __________________________________________________ "If happy little bluebirds fly above the rainbow, why oh why can't I?"
