eric99501 0 #1 July 15, 2003 hi....my name is eric and i play guitar in a band called Boxx of Roxx. I used to be a parachute rigger in the U.S. Army, until i got out in 1991. since then, i have been playing guitar and just trying to make a living. well....last sunday, my buddy Eugene and i went out to Alaska Skydiving, out in Wasilla, Alaska, about 45 miles outside of Anchorage. during my first jump out there, i looked down at my feet and it was the first time i didn't army boots staring back at me from 5000 feet. but i did get that feeling again.....that complete feeling of freedom and divine peace as i came down to earth. i had no idea how much i really missed it. i'd brag to my friends how i used to jump in the military, saying how much i really wanted to do it again, but not until i jumped last sunday did i really, really, really understand how much i did miss jumping. it's good to be back!

juanesky 0 #7 July 15, 2003 Raquel, Military jumps usually are made with static line S/L. And usually from 1K-3.5K altitude By the way Eric, great having you back. It was the same over here. I understand....... Be safe and blue skies!"According to some of the conservatives here, it sounds like it's fine to beat your wide - as long as she had it coming." -Billvon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
