    Hey Tom, what date did you quit? I also quit on Jan 2nd.. WOOOOHOOO!!! Now I'm putting my money for smokes and investing it in this sport. That's like 1200-1500 a year for smokes....hell, that would pay for my AFF class and then some more jumps... Congrats!!! Let's keep it up...

    I didn't get this one on video, but I would like to get the subsequent ones on video. I hear they are cheaper on the following jumps past #1. Yeah, I still watch my first tandem jump and get some butterflies as I head out the door. I think it would be best to do levels 2 and 3 together. That way, 2 is a practice jump while 3 is supposed to be one of the hardest. If I can do 2, knock out any errors for 3 - then that would be great. I think Ishaan and I are planning on jumping again in a couple weeks. Having someone I know there with me is a comforting feeling, besides having someone to hang out with while we are waiting. Last weekend, I brought another one of my friends (she didn't jump) and my dog. - Matt

    This brings up a good point. Tell me if this should be in a thread by itself. What about if coming off student status, you recently bought a used rig. I would assume that you would want to find rigger to recert your reserve... but how do you know WHO to trust to pack your reserve ?

    OK - I have to say something... I am the "friend" that Ishaan is referring to. I also did my pre-second AFF L1 jump yesterday. There are not enough words to describe the feelings that I have been going through - both before the jump and after. I must tell you though, that those feelings pretty much did a 180. Most of the fear was replaced with faith and adrenaline as soon as I stepped out that door and into blue skies. Faith that I had in myself to do what I was taught to do, in the right order; and adrenaline - no need to explain that one. I'm sure there's more, but I have a lot of reading to do on this site. - Matt
