JENNR8R 0 #1 July 22, 2007 I was being a smartypants and thought I would do a jump with multiple beer offenses and only owe one case of beer. I had the money in my jumpsuit pocket, and paid it to the beer fund cookie jar before even putting my canopy down. After rereading the beer rules, I'm not so sure any more. How many cases of beer do you think I owe? - 500th jump - 'D' license requirements met on landing - Landing in the 'D' license area for the first time A case of beer is owed at my DZ for landing in the 'D' license area if you do not have a 'D' license. Since I met all of the requirements for the 'D' license upon landing, I figured that it was okay to land there. Even if it wasn't, I read the beer rules to say that I would only owe one case of beer if there were multiple beer offenses on a single jump. There was some good-natured disagreement about that, but they let me slide with paying for only one case of beer. I don't want to anger the Beer Gods and bring calamity down on my DZ. Should I buy more beer?What do you call a beautiful, sunny day that comes after two cloudy, rainy ones? -- Monday. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

yamtx73 0 #3 July 22, 2007 Not that I'm an expert on beer rules or anything this is my take on it... 1 case of beer for: - 500th jump - 'D' license requirements met on landing Since you don't have the 'D' license yet and landed in the 'D' area anyway that should be a second case of beer.

diablopilot 2 #6 July 22, 2007 Officialy I would say you only "owe" one case. Quote Should I buy more beer? Is there ever more than one answer to this question?---------------------------------------------- You're not as good as you think you are. Seriously.

JENNR8R 0 #7 July 22, 2007 Quote Officially I would say you only "owe" one case. Quote Should I buy more beer? Is there ever more than one answer to this question? Good point... I guess the question should have been should I buy more beer for this jump. I regularly buy beer when I don't owe it.

shropshire 0 #8 July 22, 2007 Congtats... but as you are not at our DZ or a DZ that we can get to quickly. One case of light beer would do the job. (.)Y(.) Chivalry is not dead; it only sleeps for want of work to do. - Jerome K Jerome Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Glitch 0 #9 July 22, 2007 Well... 1 case initially. However... since you had to ask, you owe another case! I urge you to disagree and take your case to your S&TA and argue against the penaly case though. That way, (s)he can, after much thought and contemplation, rule against you for yet another case! Grats all around though! Randomly f'n thingies up since before I was born... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Quote I read the rules to say that only one case of beer is owed on a single jump regardless of the number of infractions. And I do have my 'D' license. At what point would someone have the 'D' license? I say it's when my feet touched the ground on my 500th jump after having previously fulfilled all of the other requirements for the license. The fact that USPA hasn't processed the application and mailed me my number yet is irrelevant. Argue away...

YET!And yes, you also owe for asking if you owe beer.. Beer Rules (as supplied by Goggles 'n Teeth): Do you owe beer?? Well, if you have to ask... then the answer is YES!! Here are the rules that I subscribe too, and you can too. The Beer Rules 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. 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. 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. 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. Recognizing this, the following happenings are to be regarded as suitable occasions for buying beer. This list is not to be construed as exhaustive. First jump (It is not required of students. They are simply encouraged to participate). If more than one first is accomplished on a single jump, only one case of beer is required. Participation is voluntary. If a skydiver chooses not to participate by buying, neither shall the skydiver enjoy the fruits of the accomplishments of others. 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. 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. 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 jump I'm sure there are others that I'm not aware of.The only naturals in this sport shit thru feathers...
