LOL!!!!!

***Students should be left mostly to their JMs, I think, if they're having anxiety issues. Once I said I wasn't jumping that day, the JMs just said "okay. its your call." the people pressuring me were the sport jumpers who were not my instructors. The JMs both said I'd made a good call. _________________________________________ Totally agree..............most of my problems with extreme pressure were from other skydivers....not my JM.....example.... The first cold day in wisconsin.........about 10 degrees at 10,000 feet. I was supposed to do my first 30 second delay from 8,500.......my JM told me I needed to wear gloves.........I told him I was really uncomfortable jumping with gloves for the first time in the cold weather........and told him I would like to make the jump the next day....giving me time to practice pulling and exiting the aircraft on the ground. He completely agreed. I got a bunch of crap from some jumpers about getting over my fear .....to me it was not a fear.......it was a safety issue..............the next day came and I was gearing up for my jump.......still really nervous about the gloves.............and before I knew it I was getting yelled at by another skydiver about my fear.......my skydive went right out of my head.......I did not get on the plane that day......... skygirl1
