She definitely has an agenda, while her profile on Amazon may state she lives in Missouri I'm inclined to believe she wasn't educated in the USA. In the last book she reviewed her spelling of 'favourite' isn't how it's taught in American schools. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

The one that gets me is when 1 person on the dive decides to change the dive flow while you're on climb out... and DOESN'T tell anyone. The last 3 way I was on, I was rear float, another low timer was inside giving the count. On 'GO' I went.. by myself! Oh, the person who changed the dive flow has about 1000 jumps, said on the ground "I figued I'd just let you 2 go since I can dive down to you" The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

No, but I have seen a photo of him with blond hair. Actually, Rick and Lisa are great people who have been associated with Air Adventures for years. They took over after Caleb passed away and are doing an excellent job running the dz. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I remember the Ft Hood club... a buddy and I went thru the FJC and did our first (and only) static line jump from the UH-1. I believe it was shortly before Christmas of 1977. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I wear contacts when I jump, I use Sorz goggles and love them. No air vents to worry about and they fit snug to my face. Try a pair, I don't think you'll be disappointed. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I had to do level 4 twice, level 6 3 times and level 7 3 times... I had a problem relaxing. Did great in the wind tunnel but in the air was a different story. The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

I'm sure there are a lot of us new jumpers who are wondering the same thing. Especially those that jump at small(ish) dz's... What DOES it take to become a FB? The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

That sounds like the old "the check is in the mail" line to me.... The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

If you have to ask... the answer is YES! The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...

Until the application is processed you don't have it.. YET! And yes, you also owe for asking if you owe beer.. Beer Rules (as supplied by Goggles 'n Teeth): Do you owe beer?? Well, if you have to ask... then the answer is YES!! Here are the rules that I subscribe too, and you can too. The Beer Rules An unwritten law, one as immutable and irrefutable as gravity and backed by history, states that skydivers enjoy the drinking of beer almost as much as flight itself. A manifestation of this fact is the tradition of the buying by an individual skydiver a case of beer (that being twenty-four cans or bottles holding twelve or more ounces of beer, ale, or some similar such substance) for his or her fellow jumpers to celebrate the accomplishment of a particular feat or milestone in one's jump career. It is generally recognized that the buying and drinking of such beer enhances that common bond shared by skydivers and contributes greatly to the body of knowledge concerning parachuting and its related activities. It is a sad fact that some skydivers are ignorant of what constitutes a significant achievement (usually and henceforth referred to as a "first"). Equally sad is the fact that some unscrupulously thirsty jumpers will shamelessly try to "weasel" a case of beer out of a jumper for an inauspicious event. Recognizing this, the following happenings are to be regarded as suitable occasions for buying beer. This list is not to be construed as exhaustive. First jump (It is not required of students. They are simply encouraged to participate). If more than one first is accomplished on a single jump, only one case of beer is required. Participation is voluntary. If a skydiver chooses not to participate by buying, neither shall the skydiver enjoy the fruits of the accomplishments of others. Non-drinkers may buy sodas and buyers may make up any part or whole of their purchase in soda for the enjoyment of those non-drinkers. It is generally recognized that using a reserve parachute for the purpose of saving one's worthless, non-packing self from a gory death requires him to buy the saving rigger dinner or the bottle of liquor of his choice. These articles are ironclad and binding. For the price of an additional six-pack, a sniveling skydiver may enlist the services of an S & TA to represent him or her in a hearing where the committee will rule against that skydiver a second time. Completing the student course of instruction First four way First eight way First CRW First time in the peas First night jump First kiss pass First competition First water jump First naked jump First jump on your own pack job First dead center (measured by a judge or electronic scoring pad on a three or five cm disc) First jump on a new main or new rig (purchased, not borrowed) Any license, award, rating, or badge Getting your name or photo in "Parachutist" Magazine Gross safety violations not resulting in serious injury or death Any jump ending in "00" First cutaway/reserve ride First jump from an aircraft not normally used at home drop zone First jump at a new drop zone First demo jump First save (you riggers thought you were getting off easy) Vomiting in the airplane or on another skydiver First round canopy jump (Geez, used to be the other way around) First broken bone First camera jump I'm sure there are others that I'm not aware of.

Not that I'm an expert on beer rules or anything this is my take on it... 1 case of beer for: - 500th jump - 'D' license requirements met on landing Since you don't have the 'D' license yet and landed in the 'D' area anyway that should be a second case of beer.

No shit, there I was... standing on the tarmac at Pacific Skydiving Center in Oahu, just in time for the last load of the day (yeah, it was only 11:00 AM).. the plane taxi's down to the end of the runway and the next thing I know we're at 500' and flying across the North Shore. At 1200' I look out the door to see a pair of humpback whales swimming just below the surface and get this big silly grin... yeah, it's going to be one of THOSE days. The climb to altitude was fast and before I knew it the door was open ant it's time to go... a quick check below for traffic and to spot the airport and I'm out in the air... one nice slow 360 shows me everything from the North Shore to Honolulu.. green, striated mountains, deep blue ocean, turquois shallows with reefs.. I'm totally blown away by the view as my body hurtles towards the earth below... I continue my slow turn, just taking the whole thing in.. before I know it I'm down to 4K and it's time to pull for a nice leisurely ride back to the dz and a case of cold beer... yes, it was one of those days.... God I love days like that!! The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...
