Seriously. Sorry peeps, not a fan. Somehow I don't recall seeing a post like this on the 29th of November. Maybe I missed it. Many other points to make on this note, but I try and stay out of the Speakers Corner for a reason. A dolor netus non dui aliquet, sagittis felis sodales, dolor sociis mauris, vel eu libero cras.

Some of my all time and recent favorites: Enders Game - Orson Scott Card -this book is responsible for making me the ravenous reader I am today Neuromancer - William Gibson -classic sci-fi Snow Crash - Neil Stephenson -awesome, though slow at times. Cryptonomicon is more well rounded though missing the "oh my god that is awesome" factor Cryptonomicon - Neil Stephenson -really, I like just about everything I've read of Stephenson's Dune - Frank Herbert -absolute classic. An icon. Lord of the Rings - J.R.R. Tolkein -same as above Downbelow Station - C.J. Cherryh -Cherryh has the most believable, strong woman characters I've ever read. Probably helps that the author is a Woman herself. She also has a very unique and interesting writing style Lilith's Brood - Octavia Butler Nathan's Run - John Gilstrap Diaspora - Greg Egan -I think about the contents of this book more often than just about anything else, except perhaps Dune. Hitchhikers Guide to the Galaxy - Duglas Adams -absolutely required reading for any goodfball/sci-fi fan Starship Troopers - Robert Heinlein -awesome, and I liked the movie too! Neverwhere - Neil Gaiman Call of Cthulu and Other Weird Stories - H.P. Lovecraft Tons more, but I think that should do for now! Any one (or five) of these books would make excellent presents.

Dude, seriously, banana! When the banana warms up and get's all gooey, it's HEAVEN. Seriously. I like all of the other suggestions, but banana takes the (pan)cake.

Except for the fact that I think you're on a boat and probably can't get any, I'd say Banana. Banana pancakes are quite possibly the best thing on earth. Glad I could provide a useless suggestion!

Federal buildings in general are pretty strict. While working as a motorcycle courier, I made a delivery at one of the local federal buildings. Security made me take of my boots (steal shin guards), xray everything on me, and check my id at least twice. Suprisingly, they didn't say anything about the hand tools I carry in my bag (TSA did, they took them away on a recent trip).

You didn't, but I implied he might be close to it. to the OP: Your drive is admirable, and I don't mean to me a negative nanny. Maybe you can pull it off, who knows. I just meant to point out that it may be more challenging than you expect. In the end, you know more about how you approach learning. With your drive to do it, you may well be able to pull it off. Like I said, make sure your desire to get it done dosen't override your desire to get it right. Good luck!

1:5:1 beer owed Got in 5 jumps at Byron between Saturday and Sunday, with a a night of reffing a paintball game and catching up with friends in between. Got myself a belated AFF graduation gift in the form of a Neptune from the lovely GravityGirl (thanks Bonnie!), signed a few more things off of A proficiency card, and had a fun impromptu 2 way with my ground school instructor Aaron ( which culminated in my first kiss pass (both 1's above).

******************************************** NOTE: I only have 23 jumps and am no sort of an authority on skydiving. Take what I say with a pile of salt, and weigh more heavily the recommendations of a more experienced jumper. What I say is based only on my experiences as a student and what I hear from other more experienced jumpers. ******************************************** 25 jumps in six days? I think that is borderline crazy. That comes out to an average of more than 4 jumps a day, more so if you consider that you will almost certainly not get in as many jumps on the first day, due to the length of the class. Also keep in mind that the weather requirements are more strict for students. It was my experience that skydiving can be a fairly draining experience, and on at least one occasion found myself too exhausted from the adrenaline rush to do more than 2 jumps in one day. Your mileage may very. In addition to the physical reality of trying to do 25 jumps in 6 days, you should think about the mental factors. There is a lot of stuff to learn and trying to cram it all in a short period have the best results, I would think. When I was doing AFF, I failed level 4 twice, and honestly my skydiving improved from it. Being able to take the time to learn from my mistakes and get input from my instructors without feeling like I had to "hurry up and get it right" was definitely a good thing. This is a very important (you know, learning how to save your own life) and enjoyable learning experience that like a fine wine or good sex should not be rushed. That said, there is value in not having too much down time between jumps. As you read more about skydiving you'll hear about the importance of "being current", that is keeping your skydiving skills fresh. Dedicating a block of time to learning how to skydive as you seem to be doing may be a good thing. Just don't let your desire to get it finished override your desire to get it right. I think a more reasonable goal would be to finish the AFF course and maybe get in some coach jumps if you have the time. Lastly, how did you come to choose the DZ in Georgia? Did it come recommended by someone or did you just pick the name out of a hat? I would wonder about a DZ that would be willing to try and get you your A license in 6 days.

I'll echo skymama's post, and additionally say that you should expect to take more than "a couple of weeks" to get your A license. In addition to needing 25 jumps, you will also have a fair amount of other skills that you'll have to demonstrate before you can get your license. an overview of what you'll need to be required to do can be found here: SIM Section 4 It has been about two and a half months since my first AFF class, and even with being at the drop zone almost every weekend and making as much as 6 jumps in a weekend, I still have around another 5 jumps or so to make. My intention is not to scare you off with how long it may take, but to prepare you for the reality that it will almost certainly take you longer than you expect and certainly longer than you want. Skydiving is an absolutely awesome experience like no other, but becoming licensed to do so is no easy task. Much luck in your skydiving career, and let us know how it goes.
