Hey all, I'm new to the forums and not even new to the sport, yet.

I'm toying with the idea of doing the AFF course but unfortunately it probably will be a while until I can do that.

I'm only 18, in high school, playing a sport, with no job. Doh.

So it'll probably have to wait. Ive been toying with the idea for a while now, maybe a year. Decided to hop on the forums and just lurk and maybe ask questions. The main problem with this sport, for me, is the fact that it's pretty expensive. I should be able to take a course this summer possibly, because I plan on working.

But yeah, just wanted to say hi. You'll see me lurking.

If you have a DZ nearby you can learn how to pack and earn some pretty good money in the busier seasons. At the same time learn a ton about the sport.

That sounds like a great idea.

The closest DZ's are roughly an hour away so it's a possibility for weekend work.

I'm going to call today and ask.

Thanks guys. I hope this summer I'll be able to find a decent job with good hours so I can at least take the course.

and speaking of fast food when you do go stick to the dollar menu and drink water. Dont know where youre at but around here if you hit up tje little take out chinese food places aeoubd lunch they usually have a killer lumch special for like $4 that gets you enough food for a meal and a snack later. Thats how we doi it on he whambulance since wr never know if we will have time to stop later, and usually dont. Just a thought.


Or you ccould do the real smart smart thing and just pack food ahea of time but im not that smart so yea lol

Yeah I usually pack my lunches haha.

So, I called one of the closest dropzones and they aren't hiring. Unfortunately closest is about a 45 minutes away.

It would be pretty sweet to work at a drop zone now that I think about it.

Anyone know of any Palm Beach County, FL dropzones?
