Do tower companies hire BASE jumpers?
I know there are a couple of you guys on here that work on towers, do they know or care that you jump?

I've known a couple over the years. And although a few of their fellow workers knew about them I don't think their bosses did.

He's a good kid. He has potential. I'm glad he has someone as mature and responsible as yourself to mentor him... Wink

Are you saying I'm mature and responsible? When we jumped together I was just acting like that so you wouldn't think..."who the hell is this guy I'm jumping with"....Sly

Re: [blitzkrieg] Do tower companies hire BASE jumpers?
seeing as they hire people convicted of felonies I highly doubt they would give a shit if you jump off of stuff with parachutes. The first question any tower boss will ask you is if you have your driver license.

I worked on two crews - the first crew was a nightmare it was drug and alcohol abuse and mysogyny. The second crew was a lot of fun, actually had some educated people on the crew and one of the guys was a basejumper/skydiver also.

well if drugs are crack and shitty weed and alcohol is shitty 40s and the women are pretty trashy and you like the sound of that and have been in a gunfight and wounded somebody then you'd fit right in!

personally I prefer headies, LSD, and hot educated hippy girls but to each their own Laugh
