  1. Looks like tomorrow will be a fun filled day of learning to pack! Got two sweet jumps in today. My c1 repeat....passed and c2....passed. I did pretty good on the c2, and was very impressed with myself!! I was psyched and willl try to get one in the morning if the weathers holds.
  2. Jump my own pack job...haha, then the nerves will be off the chart
  3. well, the plan is....if its bad weather, then im going to start to learn to pack. Might as well get a jump on it!
  4. thanks James! Was great to get my first three AFF jumps in. One and Two went well, three was good up until the last 6 or 8 seconds. Not discouraged though....coming back the next weekend im home and hope to be able to jump fri-sun. Want to get 5 or 6 jumps in...over those 3 days if the weather permits. Have to re-do jump 3/c-1 again. was stable for first few seconds after the release, but then had a rt turn start, tried to correct, but didnt quite get it. JM's redocked and we tried again, saw we were coming up on pull time, so i waved and went for the pull....i missed the handle, so JM pulled for me. But overall they say im doing well! We will see how next time goes.
  5. Sorry, have to finish filling in profile. Im in CT and http://www.skydivect.com/
  6. Hey everyone, Im new here and start my AFF in two weeks at CPI. Cant wait to get started. Did a tandem way way back in the day and two AFF's in college. Finally I am able to afford to go at this full throttle, so I am excited! Any pointers or advice?!? Also looking to get my own gear by summer time. I will talk to my instructor about that, and will probably go with used gear. Any suggestions on that or anything else...well, im all ears
