WhoseNuts 0 #1 December 27, 2007 Hey everyone, I am not necessarily NEW to the sport.. I was a skydiver once before and didnt get past my 25 solos before I had to get out becasue I was BROKE! Now I am about to deploy to iraq for a year to get enough money to get back into when I get back. I watch skydivingmovies.com ALL the time and everytime that door opens on the movies my heart races and I get in the zone...I miss this stuff so bad. I am in san diego, so there is a great group of people out here, and I can;t wait to get back into this sport.. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
tntsawers 0 #2 December 28, 2007 You go to Iraq for a year at a time. We go for 6 8 months and man that is enough for me. Welcome back and get in the sky as soon as you get back . good luck with iraq and stay safe Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

gimpboogie 0 #4 December 30, 2007 I do not know why, but I'm crying as I read this.... I wish you didn't have to go to Iraq to get $ to sky dive...I wish for you, the guardians of all souls be beside you, before you and looking out above you.... to keep you from all harm, to keep your dreams of sky diving alive, to keep your spirits high, and positive even when all hell breaks loose around you. I wish you the happiest day or return, safely an unharmed. May your first jump back be more memorable then any you've ever had.... may your sacrifices to your beliefs, to your desire to help people live in a safe world bring you great respect and honour you deserve. be well stay safe to return to us again, -minna To become active member in the Bonus Days Club you must very narrowly escape eternal freefall ... one exciting time.)-Pat Works Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
WhoseNuts 0 #5 December 31, 2007 Thank you SO SO SO much for your words! They are truly an inspiration. I know that I have a year, that will make me 25 when I get in the sport once again. I could not afford my rig when I was in it before, and 50 dollars a jump just killed me..So I figure sacarifcing a year of my time to serve my country to give my fellow sky divers the freedom to hurl themselves out of a plane FOR FUN, ONLY because I want to one day do it again is ok with me. As long as Skydiving movies.com stays around and I can watch the movies, I will be ok. i still have my altimeter, and helmet (although I will be replacing both) once I get back with better ones) I would like to ask that people keep in touch with me while I am out there to keep my mind on skydivin. GOD I MISS YOU SKIES! I will soon soon return! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
