You know you're a
CReW dog when...

February 1997

   
You know you're a
CReW dog when...
  • You don't have matching trainers 
     

  • You can log 2 hop-and-pops in one jump 
     

  • You wear, and use, multiple hook knives 
     

  • Your rig has parachute hanging out all over, even when it's closed 
     

  • The stripes on your trainers are line-burns, not logos 
     

  • You land with a spare cutaway pillow 
     

  • You land with more than 1 main 
     

  • Your rigger gives you volume discounts 
     

  • You find nylon all over your face, and it's not your girlfriend's panties 
     

  • You take your cellular phone with you on a skydive and need to use it 
     

  • You compare line-burn scars with your friends 
     

  • You only jump morning and evening 

  • "Rap" music, to you, has a string section but no instruments 

  • You look down instead of up when someone screams "incoming" 
     

  • You don't own a jumpsuit 
     

  • You're the only one on the DZ wearing trousers on a hot summer's day 
     

  • You take more freefall after a cutaway than you do on exit 
     

  • You are used to landing with less than two shoes 
     

  • You always reply "3 seconds" before the person asking "What's the delay from.." has even got the altitude out 
     

  • When people ask "Why are you wearing four hook knives?" you reply "Because I can't find anywhere on this rig to fit another one" 
     

  • You've been told by your rigger, "No I will not modify your reserve with red 'A' lines."
     

  • You have a pocket for a cellular phone on your rig
