Am I still a Skydiver?

am I still a skydiver?



Does it matter?

What does being "a skydiver" mean? Bragging rights?

Call me crazy, but I think if you want to be "a skydiver", you kinda have to skydive.

If you used to jump, but quit, then you may consider yourself a "former skydiver" ;)

I have interviewed folks for jobs who had skydiving in their CV's. When I asked them about it, and they revealed a tandem or static line experience. I figured they were misrepresenting themselves, and it went against them (none got hired).

I have not jumped for two years so no longer consider myself a skydiver, but someone who has skydived.

It is basically no big deal, but I think be yourself and don't look for labels to define yourself. But I think in answer to your questions, skydivers are current ex-skydivers are not.

But if it gets you laid.................!!!!! who cares :o)

Still? Who said you where one in the first place?:|:D:ph34r: Shit call yourself what ever you want. But be forewarned that if you go telling that to everyone you meet you may say that to a skydiver one day and get called out:P:D

A skydiver would be at the DZ drinking beer with his friends after sunset waiting for his ankles to heal. A skydiver would be excited (sure, a little nervous too) to get back in the air.

A tourist is someone in and out of the sport like that. Sorry guy, you asked.

All in all it reminds me of a joke about Clay:

"I was in the Air Force and worked hard, but they don't call me an Airmen. I have gone to war as a contractor, but they don't call me a warrior. You F*** one sheep and BAM, you're a sheep-f**ker!"

Its what you do, not what you did.
