SkydivinMedic 0 #9 June 9, 2003 Well, since beer is a lot cheaper than your gear will ever be. I would have to say beer first! (unless of course you're independently wealthy, then buy both?) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #10 June 9, 2003 QuoteEdit to add ( so I don't get banned) .... you can trust the greenies Aw, I wouldn't ban you, Tim. I would just go back and edit all your posts to say whatever I want them to say. For example, in a serious thread I could put, "Clay shared his favorite sheep with me last night and now I'm in love". Wouldn't that be fun?

nightjumps 1 #11 June 9, 2003 Until you get your "A" License, its usually an introduction to the protocol. Every time you say or do a "first," folks will give you a hard time about the beer, but you're usually excused from actually bringing it till the "A." (We'd rather you spent your money getting your "A" license and hooked on skydiving so we can have more beer in the long run, than have you buy beer and run out of money in the first 20 jumps) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
harryskydives 0 #12 June 13, 2003 In Florida you might get away with Pabst or Bud. But when you come to the NW and do a first we drink Mirrow Pond, IPA, or MacTarnahans, ( Micro Brew) The more beer you buy the more firsts you will get taken on. But you should not have to buy beer untill you are off student status. Congrats on your jumps. Don't run out of altitude and experience at the same time...
