Ummmm.. Well if the bracelets fits..

I like to attach (staple) mine (bracelettes) to my log book with my jumps. Nice way to keep them.

Yes, that's odd.

No, that's definitely weird.

When it does eventually rot off...tape the remnants to the 1st logbook entry from the boogie...that way you'll have it handy forever!

Why?

[skymama 37]

A perverted friend, who wants to remain nameless, suggested that maybe you're wearing it because it was your first boogie or maybe that's where you got your first piece of "skydiver tail". Is one of those the reason?

I swear it's not me, I'd never say "tail".

I can't wait to get those things off. They're ok at boogies but don't look so nice with business suits.

friend of mine wore one for 11 months after the boogie to get free registration at the next one haha

I can hardly keep those things on during the boogie, let alone for 5 months.
Yes, you are strange.

Be patient with the faults of others; they have to be patient with yours.

This.

Also, if you like them that much put them on your MLW and they will stay there.

[BillyVance 34]

Yeah I don't care much for those bracelets. Put it on the MLW or hip-ring to the leg straps if your rig is articulated.

ha no it wasn't my first boogie or 'skydiver tail' . And it's the lamenated kind so it's not rotting paper It's just fun to look at daily for memorable jumps rather then flipping through the log book. Thanks to the jumper wearing his for 11 months..i'm not alone!! all i wanted

Yes it's weird but that's why we like you. Someone from our DZ wore theirs for a year and I know Robe & Timmy still have their CF08 bands on. Maybe it's just a Kansas thing, like sniffing your canopy.

I took my last one off the second day of the boogie. The only thing you needed it for was the free beer I wasn't going to drink, and they always bother me when they get squished under the spandex forearms of my jumpsuit. I do, however, have a collection of 3 or 4 of them on the lateral of my rig. Those I just leave there until they fall off.

5 months might be a little much but I don't think you are weird like everyone else seems to. I always wear mine for extended periods. I had my boogie bracelet, allergy bracelet, and hospital info bracelet on for like a week after I was out and the boogie was over. I finally took them off, because I got a new hospital bracelet. That also stayed on for roughly a week even though I was in and out in about 2 hours.

Why would you increase snag points and shit on your rig?

To the original poster: I think bracelets are gay if worn more than 5 minutes after the boogie.

If my lines end up anywhere near my laterals during deployment I think I have bigger problems than a couple flimsy little strips of paper!

Ok, you asked for my 2 cents, here it is:

Wearing a boogie bracelet after the boogie is over says to me that this person is a low timer is trying to act like they are trying to impress other people because they went to a boogie. It's like those people who do one tandem and they wear a closing pin necklace all the time.

Sorry if that's a harsh answer- I don't mean to hurt any feelings-

I personally wouldn't do it, but I have friends who wear their pit bracelets from concerts weeks after the fact or even hospital bracelets. If it makes you remember something that made you smile or meant something to you, then go for it. I don't think it's weird, but I have a strange desire to cut them off of people who wear them (kind of like the trail dust tie thing). If you see me sneaking near you with scissors, be prepared to run.

Hospital bracelets are good because they make people feel sorry for you. It was the best I could have hoped for when trying to get re registered for school even though I am on academic probation.

5 months? 5 minutes would be more like my limit. It's off before my tent is down.

Wearing a hospital bracelet after you've been released is a sign of an attention whore, IMO. Hey- look at me! I was in the hospital!

Summerfest goes over two weekends every year and I normally only have a few days off. I register during the first weekend, go home and to work during the week, then come back for the 2nd weekend. When I have to wear the bracelet at work, I tell people I am on a day pass from the nut house!
