Beer Rules

[notahumanissue 0]

Ok, I'm new to the sport and am just about to start my AFF training. Now, I've heard insinuations, and down right orders on some of these forums, that students need to buy a case for their instructor after certain points. Wonderful. I'm all for it, but I don't know at what points to do it. After every jump? Every section? When I've completed the course? When?

Yes, yes. It's probably a stupid question, but I'd rather look like an ass on here than aggravate the guy who's teaching me the fundamentals.

Thanks for your help

You owe beer everytime you do something for the first time.

But gee, I'm under 21. How am I EVER gonna get beer? That'd be illegal after all (har har).

There is nothing more dangerous than breaking a basic safety rule and getting away with it. It removes fear of the consequences and builds false confidence. (tbrown)

I haven't started AFF yet, but I heard that skydivers don't drink alcohol. They actually get offended if you bring them premium imported devil juice. They will cast you out as profane from their tight knit dry community. Like Prohibition, however, there are some exceptions.

I have heard that an under the table, occasional, bottle of Thunderbird is welcome, preferably the well received and reviewed August, 2003 vintage. You have to provide the straws. Boone's Farm Ripple is another favorite, but you only have to provide half the straws.

Welcome to the forum, and I'm glad to give you a little rookie guidance!

After graduation? When I started it was first jump beer, the most important first of all!

What are the standardized pieing rules other than the element of surprise? 100 jumps and 1000 jumps?

Than never to have loved at all.
