Anybody remember me? I used to post a lot here on Dz.com - It's been a while since I've posted on Dz.com - but Since I'm heading back into Skydiving it's time to start posting again.
You see- I took a 2 year break. Had some responsibilities to take care of and I put my rig down for a few seasons. Took off school, moved away - I've spent the last 2 years in Seoul and in the surrounding cities on a number of assignments - mostly involving Korean Sign Language and teaching in it and teaching it to others. It was hard but rewarding.
Now It's time to get back to life as a college student and skydiver. I was hoping to make a jump today, but I don't know what that will be like. It'll be weird to get back in the air - I was a former Static line instructor and Coach - I'll probably have to start by remembering which leg goes in the harness first. I've been in contact with a former colleauge and he will help me back up in the air - I've been looking forward to it. I've been practicing my Emergency procedures for the last 2 years on the ground - Muscle memory should still be dependable - but I'll take it slow back into the air. I've waited 2 years to jump again - no need to skip the fine details and just jump again - but I hope to be back jumping every weekend now.
The next few days I'll spend getting accustomed to life back in Kansas - I saw Root Beer, beef jerky, and really big truck drivers for the first time last night - I also keep busy reading as many books in Korean as I can to keep up the language, also watching movies is a help - too much sweat and blood (study every morning for 4 hours plus all of our work and business was in Korean) put into it to forget.
I'm still kind of on duty now - I have a few interviews in a few hours in which I need to give a reporting of what I did, then back to normal life. It's weird being home - Relearning my hometown is an interesting experience. I need to call the DZ and say Hi to people, then I need to try to get out to the DZ and jump - but car shopping isn't until monday, so I'll have to figure that one out.
Nice to meet you all (again!!)

Welcome back!!!!

I was wondering if you would ever be back when you left but sure enough you are.

See you next summer at Couch.



Yeah Buddy - I'll look forward to seeing you at couch - I remember a lot of long strings chatting before I took off! It's great to hear from you again!
