So today I made my first aff jump(it was a cat C) and it was WONDERFUL!!! Not only did i do my first aff jump, i jumped a canopy I packed. Today was a great day. I was worried after my two working tandems that i wasn't as excited about skydiving anymore but now there is no doubt in my mind...i was meant to jump!! Anyways, just had to share the excitement with anyone and everyone ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

i know you didnt pick this one but i fell in love with jackie! They are all cute

throwing up...weird, i know but next to dying its definitely my biggest most irrational fear ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

I can completely sympathize. My family is almost 100% against me jumping, all accept for my dad. So i researched the stats on deaths and injuries...and yes it is dangerous and people die, but there are many things you can do to keep it as safe as possible. I just promised them I would be safe and thats all I think you can do. IMO they should be happy you found something you love so much! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

207. The Chicken and Rice MRE is *not* a personal lubricant. (Skippy wanted this noted for the record that this is not something he has ever attempted or considered! It was something we heard at dinner on 22 September 2001 and it was just so obscene it had to go here.) HAHAHAHAHAHA ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

haha ya...i was in bed VERY early the night before i learned...was a good thing too. And nerve racking it is indeed, although i was not quite as nervous when it got jumped as I though I would be. Then again I had someone watching me pack it. good luck learning

Quote Different brands of containers close differently. Some go bottom, left, right, top. Some want bottom, right, left, top. I've seen one that closes top first. Ask the owner of the rig about the closing order of the flaps if you are even the slightest bit unsure. I learned bottom, top, right, left but also learned always do it the way the owner wants it. ***When you S fold the canopy, do you fold it into the bag or outside of the bag and then insert? F111 canopies are easy to fold into the bag, thus making it much easier in my opinion. ZP mains are a bit tougher to do this with, depending on the size of the canopy compared to the size of the bag. I saw one (bag) this past weekend that my boxers wouldn't go into. How he got a ZP in there I'll never know. he taught me to fold it outside the bag then put it in. The only size i have worked on though is the 200. Thanks for all the advice, i'll go with the "when in doubt ask" policy ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

yeah yeah, i know...gonna contribute to the fund...this could get expensive ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

thats a good idea, thanks. I think i'll go out and do that this week just so i feel more comfortable with it. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

so...i learned to pack this weekend and even had one of mine jumped...and it opened, aparently a nice opening as well. So, thanks everyone for the help! The only thing i need to get down is getting it in the stupid bag besides that, all went well and I packed my FIRST pack job ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

and perky...great quote...i love mitch albom ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

thanks, i know i'll have fun...i am so excited!! I may actually get my A license by the end of the summer. was fun meeting everyone the other night and im trying to get those two tandems in asap so i can start AFF. thanks for everything!!

I am a newbie (as y'all say) and I have only made 2 tandems, im working on my 3rd and 4th so i can move on to AFF level 4 i think. Anyway, I am getting trained in how to pack next weekend and depending on that am going to be a packer...but i have NO experience as of now...any advice? anything to look out for? anything to ease my fears of screwing up? Kinda a big responsibility. Thanks and gig 'em ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

HAHAHAHA...nice ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

Either way...no one is stealing me I'm a big girl, i'll go where i want

thanks!! hopefull the student status will be gone in the near future good luck to you too!! ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ A life without a cause is a life without an effect

Howdy!! I have only made 2 jumps at skydive houston, both tandems, and im going to do a third soon. Gonna start AFF as soon as i have the money. Sometimes i think im crazy because i genuinely dont believe i can live without jumping...the site makes me feel more at home
