Yep, the subject says it all.  I didn't understand Jan Meyer's article/flyer
"Newbie blues" until now, when I am afflicted with such condition.

You're no longer impressed with the thought of dying on THIS jump.  The AFF
course feels like it was 10 years ago instead of last year.  You're somewhat
waiting for the 100 jump mark (note: some call this stage the 25-100 do-or-die)
but not really excited by 'number of jumps' alone.  You want to try RW but
you're not a skygod.  Maybe freestyle?  Style and accuracy?  BASE?  Skysurf?

You're relaxed enough to fart on jump run, to fart in freefall.  But you're
still too 'young' in skydiving experience to do the 'hot stuff'.  You'd like
to learn more, but there's that GAP between one-on-one and 4W.  Worse of all,
you don't have a mentor or mentors.  No Daddy Warbucks to bankroll your bills.

Bartender, another Sterno, please.
