The new monkey

Recommended Posts

Well the new monkey finally gets the chance to post after several days of the forums being down, but, I don't really have anything to say. I'm outta here within the next few days to an "undisclosed location" (ooh that sounds cool) for around six months. Before I go I want everyone in Raeford to know that i am thankful for all there help and instruction for my first 56 jumps. The professionalism and level of coaching in Raeford is second to none. Blue skies to all my fellow Raefordites and skymonkeys.

Just to introduce this young upstart a bit more:
His dad is Tim D'Annunzio, an 80's member of the GK 8-way team. Tim also owns Paraclete, a jumpsuit, body armor, and riot gear manufacturer in North Carolina. Poor Tim had the misfortune of having two sons, eleven months apart in age (19 and 18 respectively) start skydiving at the same time. He plunked down about 12 grand for three new rigs (he had sold his last rig) and we rifled the two boys through training in a VERY expeditious manner, with myself and Paul Rafferty being the primary trainers. Tim hasn't done any AFF in about a decade, but is getting his ticket renewed so that he doesn't go broke training the rest of his kids! LOL!

Joey's 15th jump was a five-point ten-way, and no, he didn't have an easy slot. He is a good monkey.

Very good, my young Padawon, you have taken your first step into a larger world. But be mindful of the dark side of the Forums.... Post Whoring. For once you start down that path, forever will it dominate your on line time..... Then ya start looking fondly at sheep like Darth Clay:$

It was good to meet you "Padawon"!! Shit, I'd be grateful to jump with you next time your around when we're down there. I'm sure you could teach me a thing or two!! (Just about skydiving mind you...the rest I think just might be vice versa ;))

Damn, now even my son has a monkey name...I'm still me. *sigh* Who ya gotta blow to get a monkey name around here?!

Well as you all may be able to tell the latest attempt to leave via Air Force went sour along with the last three, but i'll try again tommorow. in the mean time i'll see all my Raefordite monkeys at the dz tonight and tommorow, if they can pull themselves away from the computer long enough to come make a skydive. And Tom I never thought i would see the word whoring associated with you never not in a million years. B|
