Viking 0 #84 July 18, 2001 I feel like i should tell you guys more about me with all these kinda big responses.ok here goes.I was born and raised in Amite Louisiana I lived there until i was 19 when i moved out to California (Vista to be exact) to go to school and help take care of my 98 and 90 year old grandparents. My first jump took place almost exactly a year ago at Skydive Elsinore. I didn't jump again until like a month ago b/c of school and other stuff. but i am currently waiting to do my lvl 3 this weekend and if i can swing it maybe my lvl 4 aswell.

PalmettoTiger 1 #89 July 18, 2001 My name is Dan Korn and I'm an altiholic. This fall I'll be a sophomore at Princeton University, where I study skydiving websites, skydiving movies, skydiving clubs, and procrastination. I'll probably major in Politics, with a minor in Computer Science. Right now I'm living at home, taking summer courses at the good old U of SC, and working part-time as an SCS (Server Crashing Specialist) for a large real estate law firm. I'm trying to decide between earning a rigging ticket or a CCNA in the next 2 years.Shout out to BrokenEagle for the title abstracting - have you ever done work for Dan Bridgers in Conyers?

riggerrob 643 #91 July 18, 2001 Hi, my name is Rob Warner. I quit my real job so long ago that I can't remember what it was. Now they pay me to jump out of a perfectly good King Air with tandem students. When we run out of tandems, they send me up in the Cessnas with PFF students. When the other lazy bums forget to show up for work, I drop IAD students out of the Cessnas. Finally, when it rains, I try to catch up with the backlog in the loft.
