NewGuy2005 53 #1 December 4, 2006 I'm 47 and think about retirement. Don't know if I'll ever get to, but getting a small RV and following the warm weather around the country and jumping for a few years sounds pretty good. Anyone out there doing it or know someone that is? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
steveorino 7 #2 December 4, 2006 I started my skydiving at 46 after many military jumps and 20+ years between. I think it would be fun if doable (I still have mouths to feed besides mine) You could help out at the DZ and get ratings as time & money permits. If so desired then you could make money doing something you like. Good luck! steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NewGuy2005 53 #3 December 4, 2006 Didn't think of that. Also, I have a job that allows me to work (and post-whore) from anywhere in the country. Just gotta get those kids raised. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

popsjumper 2 #7 December 5, 2006 It's doable. Many do. I chose to live at a home DZ and travel in my truck wherever I want to go.My reality and yours are quite different.

Anyone out there doing it or know someone that is? I'm 53 fully retired. Jump all I want. Heres something to keep in mind....keep your health insurance.
