Canuck278 0 #1 December 27, 2002 Hey, I just figured out i can post on dropzone from my ship.....go figure. Just wanted to wish everyone here at dropzone a merry Christmas and happy new year. I've been on deployment to the middle east since sept and so havn't been able to jump at all....I'm getting pretty itchy about it. If anyone has any good stories of late i wil take any skydiving news i can get....send them here or to my email on the ship user884e@dnd.ca Hope everyone had a good christams, and drink a few for me on new years. :) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Michele 1 #2 December 27, 2002 Hey, Steve! Good to hear from you! Hope you had a decent Christmas aboard ship, and that your New Year will be quiet and uneventful...but mostly, that you get some airtime soon! I haven't any good jump stories, though...sorry...

falxori 0 #3 December 27, 2002 don't know where in the mid-east are you... but if your ship docks in israel anytime soon, the DZ is about 20 minutes from the port. so you can scratch that itch O "Carpe diem, quam minimum credula postero." Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Canuck278 0 #4 December 27, 2002 No good stories to tell??? You forget I've been away for awhile...sitting on your couch eating chips is pretty interesting to me!"Ignorance may be bliss, however ignorance will not last forever....and the truth after is twofold" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
freeflir29 0 #5 December 27, 2002 Quote but if your ship docks in israel anytime soon, the DZ is about 20 minutes from the port No doubt...and you can go free fly with our World Famous Israeli buddy, Omri. You can also hone your accuracy skills by trying to land on that tiny patch of green grass they have in the middle of all that desert. Hope your cruise is quiet...if it isn't....remember to shoot first and ask questions later. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
