So .. .. .. So far everything is going great! (for the most part) – My biggest thing I need to learn and remember to do is just RELAX!  I am to busy thinking about everything I need to do and not JUST DOING IT as more second nature.  My last jump (C2) I was able not to spin the ‘FCK’ out.  I was turning slightly from left to right and back until my instructor got in front of me and threw his hands up in a “STOP” motion and for some reason I DID!

Maybe it was just the mental image of seeing somebody tell me to relax in the air, but once he did that I was fine and able to just free-fall and maintain belly to earth stability!  ADVICE from a newbie: As soon you exit, mentally vision yourself being stable and relax and just have fun!
