Hey Johnny,

It's a pleasure to have added you to our skydiving family. You are progressing thru the IAD program like wildfire!!! I look forward to your next time out, one more PPCT and then your CLEAR AND PULL... Excellent review on your emergency procedures, keep the studies up and let us know when you can come out to the dropzone again.

Mark

Hey Ashley, thanks for "fixing" my altimeter...it was definitely your magic touch that did it ;) Can't wait till safety day! See you all there!! And Blake, thanks for packing all day, had beautiful openings all day

It was my pleasure! Thanks for letting me use your altimeter - it was neat to look at my speeds under canopy! You are a natural Johnny, you just keep on rocking your skydives!! Have fun in Breck, see you safety day!

No problem Johnny. I aim to please! If your interested I can show you more packing techniques. Hey once you get it down and are confident you could help Mark and Ashley on the weekends I have to work. It could help fund your training and ease the pain on the wallet! I know they will need someone helping out on the mat this season whenever I can't be there. Anyway, good job yesterday. So far you seem to be a natural. Keep it up, and stay current. Currency is EVERYTHING in this sport. Lol, however you seem to have gotten bit by the same bug I did last summer, so I doubt you will let your currency slip. Oh ya and it gets even funner as those delay's get longer! Blue skies!

How did you know?!?! Oh how I will miss it and all of it's steepness and double black diamond traits!! Make sure you fall once or twice on it for me ;)

Looks like they have some decent snow there still, enjoy! We had 60 degree temps and blue skies yesterday, haha! See you Saturday!

Yeehaw...took advantage of the good weather on Friday and made 3 jumps in Vandalia....don't worry Mark & Ashley, you haven't lost a student to a different DZ, Ill be back, just wanted to stay current...did a 15 second delay, then worked on 90 degree turns (I made 4! right, left, right, left), then did some 180 degree turns and my instructor grabbed my hand in freefall!!! Im sure all of you experienced jumpers dont think anything of that but that was a crazy new experience for me!! See you guys as soon as the weathers good to do some 360 turns and coach jumps
