seversdoc 0 #1 October 26, 2003 I'm addicted. I'm sure every one of you feels this way. I did my first tandem Aug 27th, and now have my "A" license with 32 jumps after finishing AFP. I purchased my rig and jumpsuit without hesitation. I already went to Hawaii to jump; alas the winds were too gusty for this newbie so I repeated a tandem. But, no jump is a waste! Beautiful rush, and a great way to get in the air coaching on a difficult landing area. I'm also planning several trips to other DZs. I've introduced my teenaged boys to the SIM, packing, and many other starter videos. They cannot wait to be 18! We plan to hit the wind tunnel camps - they'll be skydivers before they can skydive! I have lived more life, felt happier and freer over the past two months than over the past 20 yrs, no exaggeration. The vast array of talented and interesting people who embrace living life for today have become a part of my everyday life. It's as though they always were! I know this is not just a passing interest, this is a lifestyle. Maybe moving one mile from the DZ with other skydivers was my first clue. Changing my place of worship to the chapel at the DZ on Sun AMs and in corporating the DZ "family into all of my holiday plans seemed natural. I know I must sound a bit extreme, but I don't think I'm actually an exception in this world. The passion is more of the rule! I hope that all of you experience the connection at your homes that I have at mine. As we say here Fly by the Golden Rules and Spread the Love!! Life- it's just shit that happens to you between jumps Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

CanuckInUSA 0 #5 October 28, 2003 Hey congrats and welcome to our addiction. I know what you are going through as I was there, I saw the movie and I paid the piper. Skydiving is not really a sport, it's a life style. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
