    Skydive The Farm

    I love this place, I've jumped quite a few other places in my one year of skydiving, but every time I jump somewhere I wish I was jumping at STF. I did my first jump AFF level 1 at ASC and was instantly addicted to altitude but certainly not ASC. I moved to STF for the rest of my AFF and A License, they were so helpful and everything I couldn't believe it, and great pricing on A license Package, Hans was nice enough to give me some free jumps because I had already done AFF Level 1. Coach jumps were always available, most of the time people wouldn't charge me for them or anything they'd just be like "Hey wanna jump? What do you need to work on I'll help you out with no problem” Everyone there made me feel like home. Mike G. on site there with Chutting Star makes it a true one stop shop, I got all of my gear there and Hans the DZO was never to busy to help me with any questions and help me find a cheap very nice main and reserve because I was still very new at the time, and still am. I couldn't ask for a better dropzone although I with they'd move to Augusta or I could move to Rockmart. Please swing by STF and give them a try, it'll be your new home! -Nick Knapton
  2. Okay so last night I finally got all my stuff outta my apartment and moved back onto base... **Sigh** I miss having my own place but oh well... My truck is now paid off and the only bills I have are my cell phone bill... You're right sometimes you just have to bite the bullet and suck it up. Well I'll be saving myself almost $1500 a month so I should be jumping here in a few weeks!!!!
  3. Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh Okay, sorry I'm not very good with computer lingo lol.
  4. Awesome, thanks for your help and advice. I keep hearing people use the word avatar what in the world is that? Is there something I'm missing here?
  5. Yeah Thanks for everyones help, looks like I'll just continue to budget
  6. Thanks for the advice... You've got a point about the taking the junior jumpers like you said they won't have as much of an attitude and they wouldn't have as many bad habbits to break. Anyone have any advice as to things I can study until I save up enough money to jump again?
  7. Currently you need 150 jumps I'm in frequent contact with a few of the members of the Golden Knights and I'm all ready to recruit soldiers, I'm already the BN reenlistment NCO so I'm prepaired for that. I don't think I would have an attiude issues, I normally get along with everyone in every situation... at least I think lol
  8. Cost of living isn't too bad, at least I don't think so. I pay $700 a month for a 2 bedroom 2 bath 800 sq. ft. apartment, starting in february I'll have a roommate too so that will save me a couple hundred dollars. Yeah girlfriends are fucking expensive!! Damn woman lol
  9. You nailed it on the head! Ft. Gordon is really really really really anal about living off base, all the barracks on post have to be at 100% before they'll give anyone below E6 BAH so instead of living with 3 other NCO's in a room built for 2 junior enlisted soldiers I decided to move off post outta pocket. Once I pick up that E6 in about 3 months though it will be much much better. (**Nick crosses his fingers that points don't go up**)
  10. I'm a SGT about to go to the SSG Board next month, yep the army will be a career for me, I've been in 5 years now as a 98C military intelligence although I guess our new designator is 35N but I've been here at Ft. Gordon for 4 years now.
  11. Well sadly over 75% of my pay goes to bills and the rest to food and gas. If there was DZ closer then 200 miles away I'd work there in a heart beat, such a great atmosphere at DZs, you get a contact high off of the people lol
  12. Yeah I've looked at just about every option and I think I'm just going to have to end up using my tax refund for jumping. Anyone know any DZ's within 100 miles of augusta, the only one's I've been to are ASC Atlanta and Skydive the farm, sadly all of which are about 200+ miles away.
  13. Well that's my goal, but you need at least 150 jumps and getting the next 100+ jumps is going to be very expensive.
  14. Sooo I'm in the army and poor, anyone know any ways to get the army to pay for it besides going airborne? I'm sure there are some military jumpers out there. I'm thinking maybe something along the lines of Tuition Assistance. I dunno. Any ideas?
