OrangeJumper 0 #1 November 2, 2005 Are any of you going to the Annual Black and Gold Inter-Service Competition? I actually got the ok to go from my commander today. You can't beat being sent on a permissive TDY to jump for free with the Golden Knights....damn life is good. The Original Cabana Boy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Meux 0 #5 November 2, 2005 Details Details, when where? I'm in the reserves, can I represent them? If not, maybe I could just show up and be a piss boy, empty trash and such. Sounds like a blast. Oh, I'm not a military jumper either. I've dropped a couple thousand over Kentucky. Cheers, Mo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

ViperPilot 0 #12 November 3, 2005 Yeah, no shit. So it's totally free? What all does "free" entail? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
matthewcline 0 #13 November 3, 2005 Jumps are free. Coaching is free. Registration is free. Fun is free. Your dime to get there and for what ever comfort you want. I have a team mate in the Burg now going through training. Hope fully we can get some jumps together during the meet. I am 1/4 of a 4-way team and 1/8 of a 8-way team looking forthe other parts once I am there.An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Not guaranteed that it will be there but they usually bring it out along with an Otter. http://www.shanaberger.com/images/C-31_2.htm Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

So, I will be out of work for two days and I don't have waste any leave. Damn I love the military! The Original Cabana Boy! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
