I have a suggestion for everyone who jumps this weekend or for that matter the next time you jump, make it a point and grab a newbie and go teach them something. Doesnt have to be much, but just do it, make them feel like they are a part of the whole scene.

Good idea. I like you. I'll do just that.

Good idea it's what makes this sport so great. Thanks to all who have done just that for me. It's so cool to have someone you may never have met come up and give you a pep talk or some kind of encoragement on the ground or in the plane makes you feel like your becoming part of the clan.

I planned on giving the next rookie I see these famous words of wisdom they gave us at Ft. Benning.

When the ants look like people, pray."

Last time I tried that I looked like an idiot!
(see thread "teaching to pack")...But hey I guess everyone has something to offer to anyone no matter how small it may be!!

Then grab someone who isn't and ask them to teach you something! They will be flattered! Win/win!

I'd do that, but we're only gonna have like 8 people out there this weekend, no newbies.......

I kinda already do that (help with teaching) to get cheaper jumps.)

I also introduce new people comming onto the drop zone to the organizers and intructors as needed.

Good call jamhix.

For all you veterans out there, us students love it when one of you comes up and teaches us the smallest thing about skydiving. Even if it's something we've heard or read before, it still makes our day that someone cares enough to point us in the right direction, and let us know that we're not just outcasts 'cause we don't have our A just yet.
