Skydiving who else here jumps?

[Guru]

You don't have to do any tandems to get your skydive license. You need to do the AFF course which is 7 jumps with certified instructors who jump out holding onto you until you open your parachute and then at that time you're on your own.(you should have a radio where the instructor is on the ground talking to you and helping you land). After you finish the 7 jump course ( as long as you don't fail any) you can then finally jump solo. You get a card with a list of tasks to complete on your next few jumps. One task being get 25 jumps. After that is filled. Out you can get your A license and can jump with other skydivers.
I have a C license and over 550 jumps... I miss the sky!!! Stupid broken hand :/
