Jamdiablo 0 #3 April 22, 2006 Buy your beer after you finish AFF... Then after any goal or first time doing anything.... Buy stock in (Insert beer company here) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
NelKel 0 #4 April 22, 2006 Buy your beer after you finish AFF... Then after any goal or first time doing anything.... Buy stock in (Insert beer company here) <<< Also for the rigger whos reserve pack job saved you. It would probably be a good idea to bring beer each weekend just in case you get a first._________________________________________ Someone dies, someone says how stupid, someone says it was avoidable, someone says how to avoid it, someone calls them an idiot, someone proposes rule chan Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

darkwing 5 #6 April 22, 2006 Don't buy them beer. They get paid to do their jobs. -- Jeff My Skydiving History Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
stratostar 5 #7 April 22, 2006 What darkwing said, and the real rule is first time you do anything, it's a case of beer to the dz, first jump, first cutway, first broken leg, first off dz landing, ect. you get the point. And if your at a cool dz they will let you drink a few. ~you can't pay for kids schoolin' with love of skydiving! ~ Airtwardo Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andy9o8 2 #8 April 22, 2006 QuoteDon't buy them beer. They get paid to do their jobs. If all you want to do is learn your AFF skills, don't buy them beer. They won't even notice. But if you want to integrate yourself into the DZ community and keep getting quality mentoring as a newbie, a little extra lubrication goes along way. (The rest of you pigs: shut up. I'm referring to beer.) Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
wildman2231 0 #9 April 23, 2006 LOL! Thanx,thats cool about the beer. But Quality mentoring...hmmm...looks good at my DZ!I'm fine...crazy people don't know they're crazy...No,Really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

FlyingRedneck 0 #11 April 23, 2006 just dont ever use the F word. then you only have to buy beer when you feel necessary. if you say the F word. you might as well have a case of beer waiting. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broke 0 #12 April 23, 2006 Technically once you grad AFF is when you buy a case, but a bottle of beer here and there isn't such a bad idea .Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DottieBear 0 #14 April 23, 2006 The f-word, LOL. I am so bad about that. I am always exclaiming, "I've never done THAT before!" and all my friends look at me and yells at me. LOL. Thankfully, everything is so new, it still ends up being one case a visit :) And I like getting my friends drunk, so I'd probably buy beer even if I didn't have to.~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bigway 4 #15 April 23, 2006 Quotewhere you new kids today get your info from is beyond me,this is a old tradition I am sure you have noticed that laws change with new generations in all things in life. When you owe beer, you should be putting a jump ticket down at the bar. One jump ticket at our bar will get you around 14 beers.

wildman2231 0 #17 April 29, 2006 I asked at the dz, Its a case after lvl 11, then a bonfire. No beer till the last plane is tied down. Did my lvl5 and 6 yesterday. They'll be seeing alot more of me this summer!I'm fine...crazy people don't know they're crazy...No,Really! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DottieBear 0 #19 April 30, 2006 it amazes me the people(who seem to be a few people who feel the need to say it on every thread on the subject) who feel this way. Are these the same people who , at a bar, drink the shots YOU buy, but never buy a round for anyone else? Who will take the drink you buy them at the bar, but never offer to buy you one? Who come to the party empty handed, but eat all the food and drink all the beer they want?? Not someone I want to be friends with, for sure. Even tho it is tradition, even tho they do all joking demand it as I haphazardly throw the "f" word around, the instructors, pilots, manifest, and everyone at the dz always thank me when I deliver my cases of beer. And even tho the enthusiastic "we LIKE having you here, you can come whenever you want" was said in jest....I know it has helped me feel at home at the dz. I couldn't imagine not buying my beer....thankfully as I owe more and more beer, the jumps are getting cheaper ~Dottie “Everything looks perfect from far away.” Postal Service, Such Great Heights Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
