TerminatorSRT4 0 #1 October 14, 2008 Well I figured I have to start posting at some point, so might as well make my first post an introductory one (even though I'm not sure if anybody reads these!) Was in the Marines for 4 years, got out a couple months ago after going to Iraq. Currently live in Augusta, GA and am jumping at Skydive Atlanta (awesome place!) Going to eventually move back down to the Tampa area in a year or so. Done 11 jumps now and returning this weekend to hopefully do a few more and working my way towards an A license. So just wanted to say hi and I look forward to finding a wealth of knowledge and lessons and meeting a bunch of new people! The whole skydiving culture is interesting as apparently I already owe like 3 cases of beer at my DZ, not sure what's up with that... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PeregrineFalcon 0 #2 October 14, 2008 Wrong emoticon. It should be: I owe three cases of beer!I go to my dz and make up excuses to buy beer. "Today is my first time I've made jump number 17." BEER!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skymama 37 #3 October 14, 2008 Welcome to the forums! Since you're in Atlanta, you should go to The Farm for their Halloween boogie. Check the Events forum for more info. I'm sure it will be a good time for all. She is Da Man, and you better not mess with Da Man, because she will lay some keepdown on you faster than, well, really fast. ~Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
