 I just wanted to drop you a line to thank you again for your assistance in making my first skydive a very enjoyable, successful, positive, and extremely memorable experience I look forward to repeating in October. I was so wore out last night from my adrenaline high that I've never been more relaxed. I also look forward to developing life long friendships with other skydivers. My wife has no interest in the sport but so far she seems to be supportive, although in a conservative way. One weekend a month is all she's willing to allow for now. When I retire from the reserves, that may have to change. What do other non-interested spouses do while their skydiver spouses are playing? Right now I'm planning on completing my level 2 & 3 on the 16th of October. I've been practicing my dive flow by going through the motions and calling them out as I do them. I know I have to do better each time in order to pass each level and I've set my mind to do just that. I want to earn my certification and enjoy the sport safely and not be a hazard to other skydivers. I appreciate yours and Gene's positive reinforcement and the confidence you all are building in me. That is a big plus I will tell all my friends about as I describe my exciting, adrenaline packed experience! I especially appreciate and remember the ride up to 14,800 feet. I was impressed that you were paying attention to what I was doing and that you took the time to ensure I was at ease and sure I wanted to jump. Then you asked me to go through what I was going to do during the jump. I was completely mentally prepared by the time we reached our spot. My first jump taught me more about myself and also that a Jumpmaster is an exceptionally experienced and skilled individual who can be trusted with your life. Actually, I had no doubt about the trust part even before we boarded the plane. You're an excellent instructor and I look forward to learning more as I continue my addiction with skydiving. I hope you are able to debrief me on my 2nd and 3rd levels and sign my logbook. PARTY ON GARTH! LET'S SKYDIVE!!! Respectfully Yours, Bruce Holden HoldenB1@worldnet.att.net
