katiebear21 0 #1 November 7, 2002 Guess like others I have been lurking (mostly in the Women Only Forum) but feel I should do the full intro. Started skydiving in August at Z-Hills but live in NC. Have been jumping at Raeford since late August. I'm in the Army so I travel a lot so my chances of meeting many of you are great! I'm originally from MN but haven't been to any DZ's there yet. I am totally taken with all the people and needed this new sport in my life right now. Timing for me the last 6 months has been incredible. I'll ask all you DZ.comers to look out for my two friends that started shortly after I did. They are en-route to Colorado and should come online as soon as they get settled. They are probably the coolest married couple I've ever met: Kevin and Adrian Keen. They both just got out of the Army and packed up to begin a new life in a new part of the country together. If you run into them, please take care of them! Hey to all the other newbies! How many posts does it take to get off newbie status? Nathan told me I need to become a "post whore". Told him I wouldn't stoop! Besides, then AggieDave would have competition! (Sorry Dave!) BLUE SKIES!!! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

What DZ (or should I say city) are they headed for? Also, you need 50 posts to get off of newbie status. Try not to worry about the things you have no control over Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
