upndownshop 0 #27 December 18, 2008 QuoteDoes anyone know of the estimated date of completion? I was told last month that they thought it might be done before the SkyFest event in June. Not sure if they knew the start date then, I would imagine it would be if they broke ground yesterday?? Sounds like it will be a nice one? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

hparrish 0 #37 January 2, 2009 Quote I am going to get slammed for this, but the honest truth is that the average Raeford skydiver is not ready for it. I know damn near half of them....There will be many, many wet, reserve-repacked needed personnel. Well I guess I'll go first then.........If your'e buddies can't bust your balls who can??? Maybe you can come down and Teach me how to swoop that pond Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

DALAILAMA 0 #40 January 4, 2009 Wow....I just returned from Vacation and my idiot brother getting married! Couldn't talk him out of it! I am back from the land of dial up only to realize something that I already knew. Mr Shatalov....is mildly retarded! I just went and looked at the construction progress today after getting in from a 12 hour drive. I plan on getting a spoon and digging nonstop until the completion is at hand. I will take some pics and post them as I can, for now, I shall pass out from sensory overload!"Dropzone.com, where uneducated people measuring penises, has become an art form" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Does that mean, in the spirit of things, we could do water-training before the first load...or after the last load? ...or during the SCR ceremony?

upndownshop 0 #44 January 5, 2009 Well we usually have water training scheduled during the event, last year was the first year we did not due to lack of water. We will post a schedule so folks can complete their B during the event. It will usually happen early such as the Mon-Thur time. And I am sure there will be other uses for the pond that will be discovered during the event... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
