Dont feel bad for not passing a level- you are experiencing something that is completely new to you, of course it isnt going to be perfect for everyone on the first try. Even the smallest things that are so easy to do on the ground are obvoiusly much more difficult in the air. At my dz, we have 20 AFF levels, so basically you can have your A-license when you are done with the program. I failed "up and down" (hug the ball) twice! It was a relief to finally get done with that, but I was happy to have people that were encouraging and willing to teach me what they could so I could master the level. Just be patient and perhaps look into using a credit card Good Luck!!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

That is a great refund! Lucky you

Chackos or Tevas work well for those that want to be barefoot, but want to avoid landing on something that is going to hurt them as well. (You can still feel the wind through your toes) Chackos are the best, you can adjust them to fot your foot exactly and they are so comfortable! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I know of three people at my dz that are members- I will send one of them this link and see if he has anything to add. I have asked him before and I dont really think that it is something that is really involved- like you join and get a patch and then you can meet to jump with others sometimes if you want. Not a bad thing to join though. We'll see what Jeff says. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Have you ever landed inside the plane?
Amanda965 replied to mazevedo's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I have not, but I can think of one-or kinda two dives that I wish I had landed with the plane instead of gettin out! The worst one was when I opened up @ 3k, level with a bunch of storm coulds that were quickly moving in and they looked bad! I had felt drops during freefall, but I didnt really think much of it. When I had exited the aircraft, there were coulds in the distance, but we were in a big hole. Once I saw these storm coulds approaching us, I quickly spiraled down, very happy to get back to the ground! THe other was during AFF, I was on a low level and the clouds were bad @ 14k, so we let out the experienced jumpers and descended down to about 9k to get out. TO me being a new jumper, it was a bit unnerving and I was kind of scared about noth aving that extra 5k ft. Everything was really just fine, but I performed very poorly for that jump.

I dont see anything wrong with that memo at all. If a company had a dresscode, then people need to be adhering to it. There are some dress code rules that are a bit out of hand (like absolutely no open toe shoes or sleeveless tops at my work) however, those codes are made for a reason- to send a professional image out about the company. Oh well, its just work- wear the flip flops or whatnot after you get off.

Finally made myself a Monkey's Fist throwout handle!

That is sweet, good job with your first monkey fist! Let me know when you start selling, that would be a cool addition to have on my rig! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ -
And then send the FOP's to my nursing home- we need cute old people that shouldn't be on the streets! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I would imagine that Bob Marley would have designed hemp shoes, not those! They are cool shoes, just not fitting to Bob Marley. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I could NOT EVEN IMAGINE having it that freakin warm. It is 5 degrees F here in Ohio Those planes are monstrous! Thanks for posting the updates and pics, it is so exciting to read about. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

OK, so after reading this I can deduce that there are shitty drivers pretty much all over the country. right?? Yeah, maybe Ohio has quite a few, but you get used to it if you live here. Something bad about Michigan- isn't all insurance/accident claims no fault? That would be the worst thing ever to get your car totaled by someone and not have it covered by their insurance.

Show us a pic, I have no clue what you are talking about! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ -
You look good with both, but I said short hair. I just figured that it would be easier to manage with skydiving and all, and if you look good either way, then short would be easier. On another thought, it is winter and cold hair would be cold! It is your choice, both look good :) Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Dpes anyone have a pic of those airplanes? They sound so big, but nice! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Anybody know who this is ???

Luigi? (if talking about the guy on left, i dont know if you are tlaking about the left or right) Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~ -
notice the "99" on the speed meter they are approaching. Right... the little boy would be a pancake on the ground at the moment :) Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Haha, thanks for the list Paige. I have gotten that email before too. It's always funny to read things like that to make it EVEN MORE convincing to sleep with someone WFFC- you hit the nail right on the head with your orgasm comment. You guys are machines of some sort- just always remember the rule "ladies first!" Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Oops, I meant skydive Space Center in Titusville. I am gg there when I visit the tunnel, hence that was what the thread was about. I forget that there were 2 dz's with "Space" names. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

Tell Alana and Steph that you;re trying to make it feel like home for them. We have about 5 inches or so in the ground in Ohio right now. We've been getting a little bit each day for the past 5 days or so. Too bad you cant do much of anything fun with 1 inch. It's pretty to look at I guess! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I wish the warmth and sunshine of Florida will make it to Ohio soon! I am gonna follow it down to Florida though. Spaceland sounds pretty sweet and I am hopin to go there next week. Yea for finally jumpin since Ohio sucks right now. Have fun Joe!! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I ordered from this company and got super good deals on my cypres. He is a very nice guy too- actually lives near me. I could say bad things about other places, but will refrain from doing so. Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

How did you sitfly on AFF? I'm confused? I guess AFF is considered levels 1-7, but where I did AFF they have it structured into a 20 (now 25) jump course, where you have to pass each level in order to procede. When you are done, you should be signed off on all reqts. for your A-license. So let me correct myself and say when I was on "student status." Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~

I love the Samoas and Tagalongs. You can buy "thin mints" at the store in a Keebler box all year! Has anyone seen that ice cream- Breyers maybe, that is girl scount cookie flavors? I highly recommend! Blue skies and SAFE landings! ~Amanda~
