PhreeZone 15 #15 October 29, 2006 I'd love to see a seminar going into more detail on the privilages of each rating and what the major differences are and limitations for each also. Things like Reline, replacing of grommets, etc. Each rigger seems to think slightly differently about what another one is allowed to do and it would be great to have either a siminar or a round table discussion on it.

I'll be there too representing http://www.skydivethepoint.com/ again at the DZO meeting. I have no vested interest in Jump Shack or Parachute Laboratories, Inc.

I'll be giving a Mirage reserve container packing/closing seminar. In fact that reminds me that the computer I had two years ago with the PowerPoint document for this crashed and the file is gone. I need to completely remake that presentation...which should give it a fresh perspective with updated tips. MikeChutingStar.com Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
