Dave Goldsmith afk / Most famous BASE Jumper in the world

[d_goldsmith 1]

Headed to bootcamp today. See you guys in 11-20 some odd weeks. I'm kind of curious to see what sorts of replies this gets, but I guess I'll have to wait those weeks to see.

I've got this really hardcore group of gaurdian angels that need a free paid vacation.

Good Luck Dave.

Have a great time, and try to turn into one of those military brats.

Look me up when you get back.

remember, dont tell.

[NickDG 23]

Each generation must find it's own way. Mine did in the Marine Corps of the 1970s. And yours will too . . .

Keep your head down, brother . . . and just make sure you are fighting the right fight . . .

Basic is something I will never forget. Remember... The drill instuctors are people too. Don't be afraid of them, just respect them and you'll do fine. Hope you like running.

Remember, on the runs, lead with your knees not your face.

Gawd, I remember trying not to laugh while having a grown woman screaming and spitting like a banshee 1 inch from my face. "Bend and Thrusts" for DAYS.

Don't listen to these people. Crapping in front of 170 guys on sh*tters with no stalls for 2 months.........Allright, it gets better after Basic. I met the funniest and meanest people I ever knew, until I started BASE, in the service. Good luck in Texas dood!

In theory, there is no difference bretween theory and practice. In practice, however, there is. -

"Steal don't fly without supply."

That was a TOTAL Freudian Slip. (aka coverup for a typo Steal vs. Steel.)

Hmmm...could be a covert procurement. 4 years of being the female version of Cpl. Walter O'Reilly.
