riggerrob 643 #27 January 13, 2011 Way to go Chuck! Are you allowed to tell us where your new job is? My first jump was similar, back in 1977. Since then I have only been seriously injured once, and I never left the airplane! Keep it up for another thirty years! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skybill 22 #28 January 14, 2011 Hi Chuck, So you made your first jump when you were 17 yr. old. I made my first jump 17 years before you made yours so I made my first jump about when you were born!! Somehow we made it this far!! Funny how the student gear was the same for you as for me only my rig was a B-4 (almost the same as a B-12) and I had a 7-LL for my first couple of jumps (Murray's Hobo rig) those wer the daze!! Well bud, I'll see ya' at the DZ. Big Blue skyz to ya'.SCR-2034, SCS-680 III%, Deli-out Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
