Been a while for me too........what does this "Member's total reputation" mean? Even though I don't have a clue, it doesn't surprise me that Remi's is zero. Actually, I heard "Walking On Sunshine" on the radio today, which reminded me of Cheryl, which reminded me of y'all, which reminded me of Rantoul and Raeford and Eloy, etc. etc. etc....

Maybe half a dozen. The most fun one was a military student at the old Brown Field DZ, who I ran into at the Argus. He regaled me with his exploits (including freefall in his military static line program) and told me I should learn to freefall, that static line sucked. He worshiped Denny Chalker, an ex-Seal who was also working at Brown at the time - and who had talked all of them into coming out to Brown to do AFF. I nodded along to his stories while I got my turkey sandwich. We got back to the DZ. About a hour later the class was finished and they paired me up with . . . the same student. He saw that I was going to be his instructor and turned a little green. Then Denny Chalker, hero to all young Navy guys, walked up; he was my reserve side. "Uh . . . . you know Master Chief Chalker?" the kid asked me in a low voice. "Yeah, we go way back," I told him. "Hey Bill," Denny asked. "Would it be OK if I do main side on this one?" I pretended to think it over and then said "Sure, Denny, just this once." Denny laughed. I thought the kid was going to pass out.

I love it when you get called out for unreasonable hyperbole and then attack those who point it out.
