Blahr 0 #26 March 25, 2004 Exactly like that. I have not actually had occasion to buy since my return to the sport. Back in the day I bought the beer and drank it too. My decision is that I will give money to someone else and let them buy. That way I honor the spirit of the tradition without compromising my own rules which state unequivically that not only will I not drink any alcohol, but I wont walk into a store and buy it for anyone else either. I also leave before the beer starts flowing. That part isnt nearly as much fun as the jumping part anyway Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Squeak 17 #27 March 26, 2004 I buy cartons of beer when necasary, but I'll also buy a carton of Pepsi Max occassionaly too, that way I get to drink aswell. I ussualy stay over at the DZ so when the drinking starts, if it gets annoying (as it can do), I'll go for a walk to the Landing area and check out stars and clouds, or I'll turn in early and pisss\ everyone off in the mornig by waking them up and trying for a Dawn Load That don't often happen but I still wake them anywaysYou are not now, nor will you ever be, good enough to not die in this sport (Sparky) My Life ROCKS! How's yours doing? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

rocket 0 #29 March 26, 2004 Well 2 years for me too on the 18th, Scotty looks like I am in good company here. I started jumping after I got into recovery. Now, 100+ jumps and less than a year aafter starting, skydiving has given me opportunity where at one time it was non-existent.
