monkycndo 0 #1 November 5, 2014 So, 10 years ago this day, took a Friday off from work and paid to sit in a classroom all by myself getting lectured to. And little did I know then how much it would change my life. 1900+ jumps later, have 44 hours of freefall time, been to few foreign countries, found a special place in Montana called LP, met lots of new friends (and quite a few assholes... WHAT?!!!!), lost some of those friends, learned that the smell of pie isn't always a good thing, got some heavy metal implanted, participated in a Guinness WR, and met a very special woman. I can go on and on. Thanks Raff and AdamT for the training for that first jump. And yes, I'll be bringing a case of beer to the DZ for my first 10 years in sport.50 donations so far. Give it a try. You know you want to spank it Jump an Infinity Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wmw999 2,588 #4 November 5, 2014 Sounds like he shouldn't mess with a winning proposition Either that, or get married and have 10 kids and teach them to skydive But they'd better get started quick for that one And congratulations Wendy P. There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence.
