malooper 0 #1 October 10, 2013 So, how geeky am I if I got really excited about getting my very own pre-second issue of "Parachutist" after joining USPA?! Surely, I can't be the only one out there… Or maybe it's just because I feel like I've been twiddling my thumbs waiting to jump because of events/weather the last four weeks… *edited so I don't owe another case of beer…Courage is the power to let go of the familiar. -Raymond Lindquist Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

skymama 37 #4 October 10, 2013 I would suspect that everyone pretty much has this reaction the first time they see their name in Parachutist, even if they do try to give the impression that they are all cool and shit. 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

malooper 0 #6 October 10, 2013 chuckakers Is that the first time you've edited a post? (my two favorite brands are Cold and Free) It's actually not, so no case there! Besides, does it even count on here? I know there are people from my DZ on here so I figured they could easily call me out on it..just covering my tracks! @skymama, that is too funny! I was excited looking for some of my fellow skydivers at my DZ who got their A so it's not so far fetched I think!

skyjames 2 #12 October 11, 2013 malooperSo, how geeky am I if I got really excited about getting my very own pre-second issue of "Parachutist" after joining USPA?! How would you like 10+ years of pre-second editions. (less the ones with my name in them) Pay shipping and they are all yours.
