Pammi 0 #3 May 21, 2001 Very cool! I can't wait to get my SCR! I anticipate it being at our boogie July 4th...thank goodness, plenty warm for that beer bath. I hope it goes as well as it did for you!It's funny how we all think that way once we're skydiving...about how many jump tickets you're 'spending'. I got stopped today and just thought "Damn, there goes some of that jump money my parents and brother gave me for my birthday." Lucky for me I got tits as Merrick said...he let me off with a warning! Woohoo!Pammi"The question is not whether we will die, but how we will live." http://trak.to/skydivechick Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
frost 1 #4 May 21, 2001 Cool, man! Dont forget to get your buddies' signatures- if you did at least 2 points on that dive- it's a requirement for D license. And you can get a Falcon award. (or is it Eagle?) Anyway, you need to have both for the "D" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
