jacketsdb23 45 #1 April 2, 2008 Hey guys/gals- Work is brining me to Nashvile, TN and down to Starkville, MS. Figured I'd stay the weekend and jump at a new DZ. Anybody posting on here going to be at Skydive Alabama next weekend? What is the place like? Thanks! MarcelLosers make excuses, Winners make it happen God is Good Beer is Great Swoopers are crazy.

BillyVance 34 #2 April 2, 2008 They have their own King Air and a C182, rolls out the carpet in the hangar for the weekend, and has a good vibe and good people. Only deficiency is not having showers or bunk rooms, but I'm sure somebody will be able to work something out in your favor.

matthewcline 0 #4 April 2, 2008 You can bunk in the hanger (bring a sleeping bag) and shower at the FBO (bring soap on a rope). Be prepared to have fun! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Nutz 0 #8 April 3, 2008 Um, there is a shower at the FBO. The one at your hotel is probably nicer. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

This weekend is Team 'Licious road trip to Raeford. .. and the next weekend, the 12th/13th, is the 4 way skills camp at The Farm. Too many places to go, not enough weekends! Whoever came up with the 5 day work week should be shot. Why can't we work 2 days and have five days off? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
lauraliscious 0 #19 April 3, 2008 Whoops, guess I need to learn how to read. Kitty is right (of course), I'll be at the Farm for the skills camp on 4/12.

jacketsdb23 45 #22 April 8, 2008 So I posted on the Skydive Alabama forum but wanted to double up here. In terms of nightlife and hanging out which city is better to stay in, Decatur or Cullman? Do you guys recommend anywhere else? Prefer a holiday inn...but i'm not paying so it doesn't really matter. I've been known to have a beer every now and then...and I don't like going to sleep before (Insert time bar closes here) on Friday or Saturday. Its not healthy.

Nutz 0 #23 April 8, 2008 That is funny, you put "nightlife" and "Alabama" together - talk about an oxy-moron. "Don't! Get! Eliminated!" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

chaoskitty 0 #25 April 8, 2008 You'd probably have a better time hanging out at the dz on Saturday night. Of course theres always the bar at the Outback/Ruby Tuesday/TGI Fridays in Decatur. Probably some redneck bars there too. Try not to set your sights too high and maybe you wont be disappointed if you try to go out in Decatur. Or come over to The Farm and party with us.
