I hear you on this one, Lee. Isn't it amazing how quickly the DZ becomes your home? I felt so excepted my first day. When the last plane came down, everyone broke out the beer. One was offered to me and I was so thirsty that I downed it in about four gulps. After that, everyone said they knew I was meant to be a skydiver. Apparently that is all it takes, a love of beer and an infatuation with the sky! (wink) Rachel (Karma) ~~~~ Rachel ~~~~~~~~~~~ -Converting the world one whuffo at a time.

Hello everyone. Thank you for taking the time to greet me. My name is Rachel and I am pretty new to sky diving. I took my first dive at the end of July, and fell madly in love right away. I was a lost cause from that point on. Due to circumstances, I was not able to jump again for about three weeks, but after that, pretty much every free moment I had was spent at the DZ. Unfortunately spare moments are hard for me to come by, especially since my closest DZ is two hours away, I haven't made many jumps. I only have 19 under my belt, but am desperately trying to get my A license before the season ends so I can take a trip or two to FL over the winter. I live in Ohio and don't know if I can bare a whole winter without jumping now that I have had my first taste. I am very very open to any advise anyone is willing to give. I definitely need all the help I can get. I am a living, breathing version of Murphy's Law so believe me, I have already had quite a few mishaps. Fortunately everyone has been so nice and understanding with me so far (even the person whos car I kind of collided with, leaving an imprint of my head in the trunk) so I feel so welcome. I am thrilled to be part of such a great group. Feel free to write me if you have any advise or just want to chit chat. ~~~~ Rachel ~~~~~~~~~~~ -Converting the world one whuffo at a time.
