The Requirements For Obtaining....

Recommended Posts

a "Yuppie" sky diver number.

1) you must be a sky diver!
2) you must be a dropzone.com member.
3) you must have an impeccable safety record
4) you must have an annual income of at leat $12,000.00-$1,000,000.00-$2,500,000.00 a year, or be in college.
5) you must own an automobile that "could" be considered a sports, or luxury automobile, even if it's a junker! ;)
6) someone must have taken a "shot" at you for being a Yuppie, at least once in the last 6 months
7) you must conduct yourself with the utmost restraint, even under the heaviest of fire
8) you must give freely, and willingly to the newbies of our sport, giving back when you can
9) when you see a place where your "Yuppie" brother, or sister could, or is stumbling, you must render aid, if you can.
10) last, but not least, be safe, have fun, and when you can, lend a hand.
11) one last condition (i don't want anyone left out) if you come close to meeting, or exceeding the requirements, your in, and if a fellow Yuppie gives their blessing, they have the power to bestow a "Yuppie Sky Diver" number upon you! this is for fun, and hopefully we can help a few people along the way!

**optional**
1) have matching gear
2) have some of the newest, most innovative sky diving toys
3) establish your own website

this is all in fun, and not intended to be anything other than in the spirit in which it is offered. it all started with someone "cracking" on me for owning a sportscar, i therefore assigned myself a "Yuppie" skydiver number, and have since had request to be a "Yuppie" sky diver, and what the criteria was...here it is!

Yuppie - Young Upwardly mobile Professional. I miss the "young" part by a few years.
"3) you must have an impeccable safety record " Only while skydiving.
"5) you must own an automobile that "could" be considered a sports, or luxury automobile, even if it's a junker! " I own the original Sport Utility Vehicle. It is a 1982 El Camino.:ph34r:
"7) you must conduct yourself with the utmost restraint" Is this a rule or just a guideline ? ;)

since were "Yuppies" we are held to higher standards in our behaviour, and our sport, bear in mind we are stewards of our sky diving family, and must conduct ourselves accordingly...preferrably.

What about those of us still on student status? I qualify for now...until I spend all my money on jumping...lose my job (violation of #4)...sell my sports car (violation of #5)...and so on...and so on...

1) you must be a sky diver! depends on who you talk to...some call me a skyfaller...
2) you must be a dropzone.com member. That's true.
3) you must have an impeccable safety record Does this mean in the sky, or driving, or workplace accidents, or small arms fire, or???
4) you must have an annual income of at leat $12,000.00 a year, or be in college. Hmmmmm. Gross or take-home?
5) you must own an automobile that "could" be considered a sports, or luxury automobile, even if it's a junker! [Wink]BLack Jetta, leather seats, stick shift 5-speed....does that count? The insurance co. thinks it is....
6) someone must have taken a "shot" at you for being a Yuppie, at least once in the last 6 months Well, there have been shots taken, but no-one's called me a Yuppie....
7) you must conduct yourself with the utmost restraint, even under the heaviest of fire Well, this leaves me out...I yelled at someone recently...and hung up on him...under extreme provocation, I might add...but still, that was not "conducting myself with the utmost restraint".
8) you must give freely, and willingly to the newbies of our sport, giving back when you can Hee hee, that's the fun part.
9) when you see a place where your "Yuppie" brother, or sister could, or is stumbling, you must render aid, if you can. I can usually tell when they're stumbling, but have no aid to render, as I usually am laying face down in the dirt at that time...cause it's me they've stumbled over...
10) last, but not least, be safe, have fun, and when you can, lend a hand. Done....

So, I don't think I meet all the requirements...however, I will work harder to accomplish this, and someday, maybe years in the future but someday, I can join the august ranks of Skydiver Yuppie-dom! 'Til then, I shall strive harder, and reach for this new goal! ;)

How about an other requirements (and possibly overriding one) of always trying to be better. Whether it's:
Having a higher Yuppie Sky Diver number (just for bbarnhouse)
Being a better skydiver
being a better person
being able to drink more beer
being able to see more boobies!!!
