ChromeBoy 0 #26 April 22, 2002 Emmie I think we can sneak off with a few others after jumping and get a few cold ones. Then go back and hang with the others. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Stacy 0 #27 April 22, 2002 yeah i was pretty suprised @ the beer policy, really have to trust the people you jump with . maybe i coulda used that as an excuse for flubbing up that dirt dive... heehee...cross keys has an actual neon triangle light that says Beer across the top and Cross Keys on the bottom parts of the triangle. when wheels are up on the last load, the light goes on. Smart jumpers nix the sunset load in order to grab a bunch of beer and get first dibs on the pizza. =c) Been to 15+ DZs now and deland was the premier one with beer around all day. it was cool though, andrea and i were good and started by sunset, even though i still don't know how you get drunk off of bud light....Stacyhttp://users.snip.net/~stacy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NtheSeaOrSky 0 #31 April 22, 2002 Our DZ does have a "beer light", well the manifest woman is Canadian, so she calls it the "beer lamp" . Rules are only after all jumpers are down, planes tied down, and the manager gives the OK. Funniest sight, or cruel and unusual punishment, group of skydivers drooling over the cooler in a huddle till they get the OK. Then its everyone for themselves!I'm not stubborn, I'm high-spirited!

At Deland and Sebastian it is indeed up to skdivers to be on their best behaviour, though we tend to police one another as well. Of course there is the WFFC...

SkymonkeyONE 4 #37 April 23, 2002 Well, here at lovely Raeford, NC we have a full service bar and restaurant on the premisis. There are three major rooms to it and an outside area that butts right up against the manifest building, covered packing pavillion, and ends right next to the mock-up/ boarding area. It's very nice. We get a ton of transient traffic on Harleys out cruising around in the country, so there are always people sitting out there drinking like vikings and watching skydiving. The RV sites/camping area is out behind the GK teamrooms and away from public sight, so take that anyway you want to. As far as just walking around with an undisguised beer in your hand in the packing area or out in the grass behind the beer line, that is not permitted until the last load leaves the ground. Actually, the area that you CANNOT have a beer in your hand is quite small at Raeford. No, you can't be seen walking around in your gear with a beer, no matter where you are, but if you are done for the day, then it's all good, no matter what time it is.ChuckMy webpage HERE Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skystorm 0 #38 April 23, 2002 On my home DZ we don't actually have a light.But generally the skydivers isn't allowed even a sip of any alcohol (including cough syrup) until he/she landed the last jump of the day. Spectators are allowed to drink, but not anywhere near the packing area/plane/landing strip ect. We keep 'em whuffo's locked behind fences and gates.Then when the last load of the day is safely on the ground (and our pilot made a fly-by) we'll crack open all those free cases of beer (owed by usually ourselves), sit in a circle and relive every single second of every single jump, make fun of each other and generally get sh*^&tfaced.Hang onto Heaven, when hell is on your back Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
