Missing Central Texas!!!

[femjumper 0]

1st let me introduce myself..I just found this site!

My family and myself just moved to Eastern VA. via the US. Army.. We were stationed in the Central Texas area..

I have yet to take my 1st jump.. I fell in love with the sport, while driving to work on I-35.

From Salado to Round Rock.. I would always see skydivers' landing in the fields along the highway.. Once in a GREAT moon; 1 would land in the medium strip of the highway.Scary!! But what a rush that must have been..

I am finishing my Bachlors program in August and my present to myself??? SKYDIVING! tandom, free fall.... I do not care..

So I am here to learn everything that i can before August..

Thanks Central Texans for breaking the ground of getting this girl into the sport!!

Hi Sharon,

Being from the same area I understand where you are coming from. I believe you are at Ft Hood, be prepared for some very hot summers. I'm in the army myself stationed in Afghanistan now so my summer will be worst.

I hope you can make your first jump and hopefully you like it just as much as all of us.

I think the Dz you referred to is called Skydive Temple located in Salado, TX, I have never jumped there so I can't say much about the place. Before I deployed SD Dallas was my DZ but thats a long ways for you, they are great.

I should be going home in May for 2 weeks R&R and all I'm going to be doing is jumping.

If there is anything else you would like to know this is the place where you would get some great answers.

Airborne!

Hi,,, to your answer your question.. We just left Fort Hood.. The children and I were there for 4 yrs. Remarried a soldier in the 1st Cav. Division.late 95 spent another 11 yrs there. I very well know of the hot Texas summers.. But I honestly miss it..

Although we are in my home state, I so very want to come back to Texas ASAP! Looking back over the years, I can honestly say I do not think i have met anyone else on this Earth that is more passionate and caring and straight forward then Texans! Hell Midwestern people in general!

You should have stopped by and pay us a visit while you were in Texas! We're a friendly drop zone with lots of beer :-)

Awww,,, thanks for the invite.. I still travel down there; to visit my yaya's...

Was down there last November between semesters at school..

I would love to come and watch ya'll. If my eyes don't fail me lol

But as for drinking beer.. I have to pass. I do not drink anymore... Sorry.. Too many days partying in Round Rock cured me of that.

I went to your website wow! Amazing.. I want to just get the nerve up to jump once!!!

Sending you much well deserved props!

I see you grew up in Richmond VA. I grew up on the East End, Varina. Being gone for so long, Its weird coming back. Picking up the "Texas attitude" and the very southern ways of the midwest, I feel like a fish out of water here in VA.

This placed has changed so much. But I'm sure you know this.

I love living in the mid west..We are looking forward to moving back out there within the next 3 to 4 yrs. Hopefully If the good Lord allows.. Ill be a veteran in this sport!
