New Addict

[suicide 0]

Hello Everyone,

I had the pleasure of my first jump yesterday at The Ranch in Gardiner NY. Geoff provided exellent instruction and a hell of a ride while Carol did some outstanding video. I want to thank them both for a wonderful day. It is true what they say.. it only takes one jump to become an addict. Hope to see you all around the clouds.

Suicide !

Welcome to dropzone.com and our wonderful sport! I gotta go with Skymama, though, and seriously wonder about your name- not the best one to choose in this company...

What is the reason you chose that name?

In any case, join in the fun, and be safe out there!!

you've got to ask yourself one question: 'Do I feel loquacious?' -- well do you, punk?

Hehe. The name comes from my coworkers, its supposed to be half true and half ironic. I am extremly big on safety and in the military it is important. On the other side of that i always volunteer for the missions that have the most action. Guess im just an adrenlin junkie who is good at his job :) best of both worlds.

Oh. Well, in that case, rock on! We've got an awesome little 'family' here- glad to have you as a part of it.

What do you do for the military?

Blues!

Okay, I think that we all probably did a little quick inhale at reading your screen name because we've all had the same question asked like.... "Are you crazy?" "Do you have a death wish?" "What's the matter with you?" "Do you want to die?

I like another pearl of wisdom I picked up at the DZ this weekend from another jumper. He said "I just tell them I skydive because I choose to live, not because I choose to die and everytime I pull that cord, I'm reminded of just how much I love living."

I think that you will fit right in here because everyone I've met so far have a few common personality traits and one of those traits are that they are meticulous about safety, theirs and everyone eleses (is that spelled right?) too.

Hehe nuffins wrong with me...lol Im not a manic depressive, I don't want to die..well unless its in a hail of bullets defending my country.(but at least ill make the 6 o'clock news...lol. I do get the crazy part from time to time, but thats only because i'll do anything to make someone laugh even embarass myself.. like this one time i was naked....oh never mind. Anyway I am very happy to be here and after Posting on places in my area it looks like come November ill be starting my training at Cross Keys in NJ.(shhh don't tell mom, im gonna surprise her next time i go home and make a solo jump) But you are correct Safety is and always has been my number 1 priority. Everyone has been so nice in this welcome and i look forward to someday meeting and once ive earned the right..jumpin with you all. I travel around the US frequently soo ill be on the lookout for the DZ!!! be safe all!
