I am consumed by skydiving, I now eat and breath it. The things is...Ive only jumped once and it was tandem. I went the day before basic training and have been hooked. I now have a steady income and can afford to get my A License; however, I now live in Alaska. This means no skydiving 6 to 7 months out of the year! I just want to know how to cope with this devastating fact. Yes I am only 19, with no experience and a plethora of things to do in the downtime but it still eats at my soul every second in not airborne(for the most part) I am ALIVE!
