MF42 0 #2 June 10, 2006 Different rules ay different DZs, or so I've been told. I like to buy both beer and mountain dew so all us non-drinkers can enjoy too. Matt Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #3 June 10, 2006 Simple answer: every weekend. And most DZs have a public beer fridge to which to pay the beer. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JENNR8R 0 #4 June 10, 2006 BEER RULES 1. An unwritten law, one as immutable and irrefutable as gravity and backed by history, states that skydivers enjoy the drinking of beer almost as much as flight itself. 2. A manifestation of this fact is the tradition of the buying by an individual skydiver a case of beer (that being twenty-four cans or bottles holding twelve or more ounces of beer, ale, or some similar such substance) for his or her fellow jumpers to celebrate the accomplishment of a particular feat or milestone in one's jump career. 3. It is generally recognized that the buying and drinking of such beer enhances that common bond shared by skydivers and contributes greatly to the body of knowledge concerning parachuting and its related activities. 4. It is a sad fact that some skydivers are ignorant of what constitutes a significant achievement (usually and henceforth referred to as a "first"). Equally sad is the fact that some unscrupulously thirsty jumpers will shamelessly try to "weasel" a case of beer out of a jumper for an inauspicious event. 5. Recognizing this, the following happenings are to be regarded as suitable occasions for buying beer. This list is not to be construed as exhaustive. 6. First jump (It is not required of students. They are simply encouraged to participate). 7. If more than one first is accomplished on a single jump, only one case of beer is required. 8. Participation is voluntary. If a skydiver chooses not to participate by buying, neither shall the skydiver enjoy the fruits of the accomplishments of others. 9. Non-drinkers may buy sodas and buyers may make up any part or whole of their purchase in soda for the enjoyment of those non-drinkers. 10. It is generally recognized that using a reserve parachute for the purpose of saving one's worthless, non-packing self from a gory death requires him to buy the saving rigger dinner or the bottle of liquor of his choice. 11. These articles are ironclad and binding. For the price of an additional six-pack, a sniveling skydiver may enlist the services of an S&TA to represent him or her in a hearing where the committee will rule against that skydiver a second time. Completing the student course of instruction First four way First eight way First CRW First time in the peas First night jump First kiss pass First competition First water jump First naked jump First jump on your own pack job First dead center (measured by a judge or electronic scoring pad on a three or five cm disc) First jump on a new main or new rig (purchased, not borrowed) Any license, award, rating, or badge Getting your name or photo in "Parachutist" Magazine Gross safety violations not resulting in serious injury or death Any jump ending in "00" First cutaway/reserve ride First jump from an aircraft not normally used at home drop zone First jump at a new drop zone First demo jump First save (you riggers thought you were getting off easy) Vomiting in the airplane or on another skydiver First round canopy jump (Geez, used to be the other way around) First broken bone First camera jumpWhat do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday.

Feeblemind 1 #5 June 10, 2006 1st case - Upon graduation to self supervised status (i.e. AFF graduation) 2nd case - Upon 1st Jump with your license Now here is where it gets ugly Since you have your handy dandy license in hand every time you do something for the "first time" you owe a case of beer. In 18 months I have bought countless cases (in the neighborhood of 50) and 1 keg. The beer rules are supposed to be more than you just providing a drink for folks at the DZ. Generally when you bring in your case folks will ask why you bought beer, this is the time to explain what you did you maybe you had your 1st cut-away. Generally the beer is a conversation piece to build relationships in my mind. other times you will be told you owe beer (crashing through the 4-way team while doing video, crossing the beer line in the landing area, etc...) last but not least, 100 jumps, 00 jumps you make special (hey it's my 500th and a jump get's organized for you), 1000th and everty 1000 there after. Most folks like imported brew, but buy what you like. This has been a public serice announcement Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
bloody_trauma 2 #6 June 10, 2006 spectacular, but it makes me ask, when is it that these beers get drunk? some confusing items there too such as... For the price of an additional six-pack, a sniveling skydiver may enlist the services of an S&TA to represent him or her in a hearing where the committee will rule against that skydiver a second time. ?????????

Richards 0 #7 June 10, 2006 For any significant "first" including the first time they inquire online about the beer rule. Richards My biggest handicap is that sometimes the hole in the front of my head operates a tad bit faster than the grey matter contained within.

jasonRose 0 #8 June 10, 2006 Listen to only me!!! You must bring beer with you everytime you go to the dropzone and everytime your skydiving buddies drink all of what you brought. It will remain this way until you get an A-license. Some day I will have the best staff in the world!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Andy9o8 0 #14 June 10, 2006 Look at it this way: Between 1 & 50 jumps, just always keep an extra case of beer in the trunk (that's the boot for you Brits) of your car.
