  1. You would be supprized what you can do with a 590 median score, lil time since your last collection, job history, and a creative realtor. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
  2. Selling the house to pay for jumping and gear, while probably not the smartest thing to do, would make a bit more sense than not paying your mortgage. And you'd get to keep your good credit rating... Although I have (well should have) 25k in equity Im not sure that selling in this market, if I wanted to sell in any reasonable amount of time, would leave any of it. But like I said, Im going to make it I just dont know how. Hopefully I get a roommate, but there are also less idealist was to pay it. Shoot maybe even get back some of the money the ex owes me, or not. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time.

  3. I used to have the perspective, which is why Ive waited five years to work on getting my licence. Funnything is when you pay your bills and have no financial hardships, there is always something else, medical this or that, family, car issues, whatever. Everything eventually gets paid so Im just switching up the order. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time.

  5. QuoteDitched my family on every major holiday since I started in May. They all were going to our cabin in WI, I stayed home and went to SDC everytime. I felt bad, but at the same time I didn't. I was having too much fun. I've also spent about a quarter of my college money on skydiving. Not loans, but money I had in the market designated as college money. I'm not looking forward to my parents finding out. That sounds like it could get messy. QuoteI didn't make my flight home to go back to work (read important meeting) from the boogie...see attached. Yes, I am wearing a batman cape.
  6. I didnt say I wasnt going to make it. I said I didnt know how I was going to make it. Im not late till the 16th of next month. by then I could sell my car then do a buy here pay here, or get a roomie. (Hey anyone looking in the nashville area) The cash advance people love me along with the title loan people. I only have to make it till Feb durring tax time. Woohoo $7500 refundable tax credit for buying the house. I will make it just dont know how. Everything always works out. Ive been sliding by for about six years now, realtor commision earned for buying my house was supposed to pay for AFF but well ex roomie messed it up. I just refuse to quit at the end when it will become somewhat affordable. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time.

  11. man your training is like super long. US tandem, 5 hour ground school, AFF1 fail, AFF1 fail, ect. No just Kidding, but really you guys have three months of ground school?

  12. Umm are you old enough to do this without a signature? If so just let them know whats up later, like after jumping but before the wingsuit. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
  13. OK Im sure that some of you are sick of the newbie post. This is one so uhh if Im going to upset you... PLEASE STOP READING. I've heard that that skydiving is a life style not a hobby. So with that in mind I pose the question what have you done which might not have been the most responsible thing at the time so that you could skydive. Personally, because of some recent events I have a choice know how Im going to make my mortgage payment, or finish my AFF plus hopefully do like 4 or 5 more jumps that day. I have gone with the later. Now before anyone posts about the irresponsibility of that know that I am a real-estate finance major in my last year. I know what Im doing, really banking on it all comes out in the wash. Im sure your out there what silly choices have you made to go skydiving.

  14. AND its cheaper. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
  15. What I have learned. Try to do as many levels with the same JM as possible so you can get to know them and how they are going to going to give their signals. Also make sure you discuss how they are going to communicate with you each jump; my lv 3 I just stared at my smiling reserve master for like 5 seconds waiting for a thumbs up. Ive been jumping outta a king air, so my advice for that is get as for out of the plane as possible and really feel the wind before exit. I helps calm my nerves. Yell your exit count, because you have to really go over it in your mind to say it. Relax as you exit and dont be concerned which direction the ground is in relation to you, just keep your neutral body position and you'll be fine. Ask your instructor about the hill; this wasnt explained to me till like jump lv5 I kept thinking I was doing something wrong. Lose your concept of how to move on the ground, when your thinking about how to do your jumps think in terms of wind resistance. Leave your nerves in the plane. Ohh yeah dont ever think about not following dive flow. I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
  16. Dude post it!!! I was drunk, just poking a lil fun at dive flow. Really, everyone is right, woulda been an incrediblely stupid thing to ACTUALLY do!!! Not that I really would have dont it. If you dont like the fact that I would have some humor than I hope you can find some of your own. I know that maybe I shouldnt take this so lightly, but (almost used my horrible sense of humor again) how serious should I be. Did I learn that I should talk to my intructors about some of the less obvious dangers, yes. Good for me.

  17. I dont really want one. Havent had one and Im ok with that. On lv.5 I looked up and the front right side of my chute was tucked under the rest, and I was all Huuu??? Little flare it inflated, and thats as close as I feel I ever want to come. Unfortunately Im sure that wont be the case Ahh its all gravy. Alls well that ends well I guess.

  18. Yeah I think Im supposed to push my arms a lil closer to the earth to try n stay level, be working on that this jump. I do understand now that the action woulda been unsafe, but I did ask around before doing it. I dont see how THAT is unsafe. Its like hey I have an idea, gee I wonder if its a good one or not. I know Ill go ask someone who knows better than me. What did I learn, there is a thing called a burble, which I should learn more about, and always ask before doing anything. Even if that means that I will be called unsafe, stupid, dangerous, or it be suggested that I leave. Thanks for all the responses, even the less than kind ones.

  19. OK I understand not to do this. NOBODY HAS TOLD ME WHY YET!!!!!!!!!! I keep telling my friends skydiving will fix all your problems, Im a fibber you just let go a minute at a time. Choose what to do with it.
  20. OK!!! See this is why Im asking questions and not just doing thing chill dude or chick. Forum. Talk see whats up, what not to do, what to do, that type of thing.

  21. Like I could be 100% off but I picture my JM being like four feet above me, and I tend to track at a downward slope (again Im not going to do anything cause Ive already been told its unsafe, and stupid.) I dont think there would have been an issue except for the "burble"? (spelling question.) you mentioned. The whole post was like this little thought that I've cought way to much flack over.
  22. OK I'm just very used to being able to find what I need on the internet. As far as I know there are no books on the proper edicute for skydiving. There really should be or people like me who dont ask questions could do some preaty stupid things.
