    covid-19

    First round vaccine I will receive on the 13th and second exactly 28 days later. Stand by for after action review...
  3. Slightly off topic, but I'll forget seeing the static "build up" on a helicopter's rotors at night. Pretty cool. Willy P indirect impacting will leave a lasting memory as well!
  4. Easy one. SAVE ALL THE MONEY, go to FL in the winter and crush it. Seriously. Not feasible? Pick the DZ with the BIG plane and stick with the AFF program. Stop looking at stats, because the category your looking at usually involves experienced pilots... YOU need only focus on YOUR next jump!
  5. JESUS H CHRIST! Another Ron thumper. You live in Georgia too??? Asking for a friend.
  6. That's FANTASTIC! I know a group doing the like: https://jump4valor.org/ They also sponsor AFF training for some lucky troopers... And as we know, VETS deserve EVERYTHING!
  7. https://www.tonfly.com/helmets.php If I was buying a helmet, I'd want something that actually offers protection. ALSO, TRY ONE ON FIRST. Fly before you buy
  8. PLEASE refrain from disrespecting PEE WEE like that. The shame.

    1025 topics and counting. FYI
  12. LIFE CHANGING! OMG thank you! It's all so clear now. GOD IS GOOD. (sorry) "God" IS good, but "it" comes in more than one flavor.

    LOL, I'm guilty of living in "my bubble", and I'll do my part to add to "the box" aka SC!
  14. "AR" comes from the name of the gun's original manufacturer, ArmaLite, Inc. The letters stand for ArmaLite Rifle — and not for "assault rifle" or "automatic rifle." ArmaLite first developed the AR-15 in the late 1950s as a military rifle, but had limited success in selling it. In 1959 the company sold the design to Colt. In 1963, the U.S. military selected Colt to manufacture the automatic rifle that soon became standard issue for U.S. troops in the Vietnam War. It was known as the M-16. There you go, you know, for historical reasons. The company answered the call by the U'S. Gov't. which in war time is eager to develop a better bean launcher... 1911 also saw a nice design or two spring up... So to sum it up, the AR platform was solely developed as a man killer. Argue it as you may, history doesn't lie. Argue the caliber all day long!

    Too much time on our hands... THIS is the best we can come up with to talk about??? Dare I list worldly topics that could use some creative thinking??? Sorry, I'll step down off the soap box. I find it troubling to see "us" moving forwards in reverse... Leave the dead dogs alone. (The story apparently tells the tale of a man with morals caught up in the times)
  16. https://www.vaccines.gov/basics/types So it seems as if we all have some decisions to make about our future. Discuss. Who has reservations/doubts? I mean, the anthrax series didn't kill me!
  17. http://gph.is/2thrVBh I bet your real fun at parties!
  18. So it's begs to ask, why? Why start this thread? What drives you? What is the motivation? The "real" reason, other than the obvious, because it happened, and continues to happen (and will continue...). May I suggest longer walks in the woods.
  19. Incorrect, it's used to "hunt" Homo sapiens. Am I wrong?
  20. So they made a change because of ONE incident??? Pretty sure that's NOT how shit works... NO student jumps without an RSL, PERIOD. IMO the change is "knee jerk" and not a good one. Well thought out plans tend to workout better... Can only speak from one chop. I pulled silver after red in rapid succession , but the main was already out...
  21. Off topic Mark, just trying to feel you out. Kosovo, you military (former) or contractor??? Your link to your home state is no shocker.
  22. THIS is the kind of positivity I want to surround myself with! CAW CAW!!
