[piisfish 135]

Skydiving medal : took bronze at the 10way speedstar comp in Empuriabrava.
Gold was "Kate Cooper and friends"
Silver was "Babylon All Star" (all Empuriabrava staff)
Bronze was us Swiss, Germans and Austrians, half of which for whom bellyflying was"just before pulling"

After us French teams, Belgians etc mostly teams with "world Team members"

Since Turtle mentioned medals, I'm going to do this poll just for him!

Have you ever won/earned/gotten a medal somehow?

If so, tell us how! Again, it doesn't matter how silly it might seem. We'll still cheer you on!

I have a bunch of them going back oh.. 50 years or so

Medals? Sure, I have a handful on the wall in front of me from swoop comps.

Nice!
And I'm impressed that you remember all of the other teams, etc.

Age is only a number...and I'm over that 50 number too!

That's great!
I think it's even better than you have them hanging up!

lol. I have band medals as well. Trumpet here.

Military and skydiving medals hanging on the wall as well.

I think I am most fond of the skydiving medals.

Good job!
Thank you for earning medals in the military while defending me (and others like me)!
I would probably be fondest of the skydiving medals too, if I had any!

Several rows of military medals, but the one that I'm most proud of is from high school, took silver in the state cross-country meet, ran 3.1 miles in 15:02

Life is short, eat more bacon, have more sex and jump anytime you can!!

Well, I'm thankful of the military medals because you were keeping people like me safe! Thank you!
But I can definitely understand the pride in the cross country meet. Good job!

Hey, I got a bronze in 10-way speed at US Nationals. Beat the Knights!
