Like round parachutes, the traditional S/L method is basically history. ASL 
is a good program, but you're correct in saying AFF is now the most 
popular. In the S/L vs AFF debate, which is sort of comparing appels and 
oranges (GRIN), I was just talking about some of positive aspects of S/L and 
ASL.

BTW Dave, I took and passed the AFF certification course in the early 80's 
and found it the most demanding USPA program to date. I remember sitting in 
the van at night going over the lesson outlines with the rest of the 
candidates with all of us feeling we were in over our heads. We weren't. We 
just never had anybody pushing us so hard.
