junglecleeds 0 #1 May 8, 2015 I'm new to the forums and still pretty green with the sport. I got into skydiving last year after moving from Colorado to New York to work as a parachute packer. It took most of the summer and a lot of work, but I got my A license. I am looking forward to finding some work to continue jumping, learning more about the sport to get better and continue traveling around the US and the world. I am currently in Arizona for the time being, but as long as I am traveling and jumping then I'm happy.Looking for work anywhere in the USA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

junglecleeds 0 #5 May 25, 2015 I met him at a bar in Colorado through a co-worker and told him I was interested in getting my A license and he was looking for a packer. I rode my bicycle across the country to Colorado so I didn't have much stuff to move to NY so it made it pretty easy. I worked out of Western New York. @skymama Thanks it all fell into place after I began traveling. I ended up seeing about 30 states, living in a few of them temporarily and traveling through Southeast Asia over the past few years. I am glad I was able to get into skydiving. I'll be able to get more jumps once I get a rig. @bluetwo Thanks.Looking for work anywhere in the USA. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
