Just went yesterday, and it was definately worth doing, and I’m sure I’ll do it again. But to be honest, it wasn’t what I expected. Everyone I know says it was an amazing, thrilling, adrenaline pumping, reevaluate your life and place in this world kind of experience. I didn’t really find that to be true. It was fun and both freefall and the float down after I opened the chute were beautiful and amazing, but I didn’t really get that chill and rush I expected. Maybe it would have been different if I was on my own reather than clipped to someone else. It’s got to be much ahred to talke yourself out of the plane door, rather than to have your instructor give the final push. Guess I’ll have to jump a few more times! :)

I went to try and do it not long before Bob quit, but didn’t get there early enough. Now that Bob’s gone, I’m just not that interested. He ws half the fun!
I just took my certification exam and I passed! Yippee!
I was freaking out about having to take the computer based test, and it turns out you can go back and mark which questions you want to return to or review. Work with the APIC stucy guide book, and take comfort in the fact that if you’re good at your job, and have been paying attention for the past two years, you’ll do MUCH better than you think you will.
GOOD LUCK!
