nacmacfeegle 0 #1 May 20, 2002 Well, last night half canned from Heinekin, I checked my log books, my pro track, my various bits of paper, notes, diaries etc, and by dead reckoning, and copious use of a calculator, it now appears that I am beer exempt. So...FIRST, FIRST, FIRST.....Yeah, it feels good to be able to say it again!I got my Thousandth this weekend at San Marcos, it was with Skygeek, nice one Sam.Thanks San Marcos and the Gravity Rats for a cool freefly fest, and excellent party.Jessica, it was nice meeting you at long last, sorry it was all too brief, jump 1002 was a mal, and I had to get my shit to the rigger so I can jump wed evening.......The last beer will be out at Spaceland w/e 14/15/16June.CyaD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Sebazz1 2 #3 May 20, 2002 Congrats on your thousandth. I am a bit surprised though that someone with your experience would actually believe that there is such thing as "Beer Exemption." You can't be serious. Every time you jump at a new DZ for instance you will owe beer. And that is only one example. So to appease the beer gods and sky gods go fix your beer karma quick and go buy beer..............Sheesh..........some people.........Sebazz........

nacmacfeegle 0 #4 May 20, 2002 "beer gods and sky gods go fix your beer karma quick and go buy beer.............."Okay, lets check this with Scotty Carbone, he made the rules......BTW I bought beer at the weekend, first at San Marcos, and a case of Heiney for my rigger(--cutaway#4), and have promised loads of beer at Spaceland....It'll be my LAST weekend there for a while.Anyone who knows me knows I'm not shy of buying beer.... I've been travelling around a lot, visiting many new DZs, what better way to introduce yourself than to say "Hi, i'm Nacmac, have a Heiney" CyaD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jdhill 0 #5 May 20, 2002 Scotty may say different, but I think the beer exemption only applies to beer owed for 00 jumps (100, 200, 300, etc)... this requirement goes away @ 1000 when a keg is owed ... I don't think anyone is ever exempt from the f-word rulehttp://www.aerialfusion.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
skygeek 0 #6 May 20, 2002 WOW I feel so honored that I was there to witness your 1000th jump and what a jump it was. Great time all around!! So what happened with the chop? Was it on sat? Hope ya found everything ok. We'll see ya at the big ways dude!!

nacmacfeegle 0 #7 May 20, 2002 Och, okay then, my bad, but its not the first time I've been wrong, so I'm not buying beer for that one! Have a cool time in California Josh, I'll have a beer with you when I see you again. We'll get some even better snaps of your improved swooping when you get back, I still have some ideas to play with.....CyaD Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

GroundZero 0 #11 May 21, 2002 I've heard this discussed a few times before...(1000 jumps/beer rules exemption). When I had 'bout a hundred jumps or so, some guy (and his wife... from Wisconsin, of all places!) claimed the 1000 jump exemption. I questioned it , and "she" explained the details of the "1000 jump exemption". I was thinking, "Bullshit" when some experienced jumper walked up behind me and explained, "With 1000+ jumps you'd better know your way to the store by now, and you also know you'd better be quick, 1000 jump exemption, my ass!"__________________________________________________The "last" beer will be out at Spaceland w/e 14/15/16June.__________________________________________________Nacmac, be glad that you can/should claim, "The "next" of many more to come!I spent a little time checking and found actual rules pertaining to this...first from the Poynter Parachute Manual, Vol. 2, page 734... "all jumpers acheiving a milestone/first accomplishment before, during and/or after a skydiving event, shall be required to purchase a case (24 individual) beers to celebrate the occasion. Participation in the consumption is not required by the purchaser."Referring to the USPA S.I.M., Section 4, "Currency, Retraining and beer purchase Requirements.... Any U.S.P.A. member, in good standing, is reccommended upon completion of an initial event, situation or otherwise, to purchase, for dropzone comsumption, one carton (24 or more) malt, barley, hop combination beverage for communal consumption."After searching Diverdriver's site we found the FAA reg's on the subject.... FAA part 105, section 22.69.b1, ...."The Administrator has determined that any or all occurences which may be deemed "an initial episode" shall be considered as a "primary event" which shall warrant, (in the opinion of the administrator), justification for consuption of and purchase of, no less than 24 containers of, no less than 12 ounces each, of any substance containing alcoholic content. The Administrator has further determined that, the purchase and consumption of, (the afore mentioned substance) shall be completed no later than seven calander days after the event. Failure to comply constitutes implicit neglect and wanton disregard for the safety of all parties concerned."Now, I wouldn't want to break any rules... Congrats on #1000! Many more to come.... (now quit wining and but your beer!)Cheers!Chris Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
PhreeZone 15 #12 May 21, 2002 Chris... could you give me a url to these regs? I'm having a hard time finding them... If once you start down the dark path, forever will it dominate your destiny, consume you it will.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Rachill 0 #13 May 21, 2002 Jeese... nacmac.....I'll be sure never to say the words "beer" and "exempt" in the same sentence. Thanks for clearing that up for everyone!!!!P.S. ~ I'll see you on the 14th 15th and 16th, so I'll take some Heineken !!! Cheers! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
