Hi All, CPI needs your help. A canopy went missing from our clubhouse recently, and we are hoping to get it back. Attached is the invoice which has a description and serial number. Please keep your eyes open! If it is found, please contact me through PM on this forum. Thank you all in advance, Chris The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

Hi All, Connecticut parachutists has an opening for drop zone manager. See the attachment if you or anyone you know is interested in the job! Blue Skies! The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

I have a Saber 210 that I have 100 jumps on and it consistently takes 1000 feet to open. I've had one slammer, which was completely my fault. I love the way my chute opens. The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

This is exactly how my first jump went...except I did fail for not pulling in time... Now i'm on jump #9 and I still get anxious, but I know how good it feels getting out the door. Not only that, I feel that it is more fun NOT having my instructor hold on to me for two reasons; 1) I feel I get stable quicker and float more so there isn't as much of that roller coaster drop feeling 2) I feel like it's MY jump. everything I do in that 60 seconds and then under canopy is completely my own. Another thing that helped, is since my packing class, I have packed my own chute for the last 3 jumps I took. The first one I was just happy the dam thing opened. But Knowing your equipment helps immensely because knowing how it functions can help you solve problems correctly when it doesn't.

Noted...Thank you ! The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

http://www.skydiving.org.vt.edu/goodstuff/beer.htm Warning: KNOW your Beer Rules else the DZ beer hounds will burn your wallet dry telling you all sorts of "you owe beer" shit. The most common fallacy is, "You said the word 'first'. You owe beer." The whole idea behind the Beer Rules is to celebrate major skydiving milestones and to promote camaraderie and learning. Ahha..Thank you very much! The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

What is this beer rule you speak of? Curious I am... The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

What's the etiquette for students after class is done in regards to the instructors? Do they get tipped? A case or two of beer or is the course fees enough and it gets left at that? Just curious as I'm learning the ins and outs of this community and would like to get it right the first time..... The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

Thank you, I will! I start class tomorrow and thurs, then start jumping Saturday.....I can't wait! The love you withhold is the pain you carry, lifetime after lifetime.

I've been lurking here since I decided to start my quest to skydive a few months back, and figured it was time to join and introduce myself...so, hi everyone! I'm excited and scared all at once but feel pretty good about it. It seems like you all have a pretty tight knit community and I like that. It reminds me of the guys at my firehouse!
