" ...in the morning..." Would that be European Time or ...? Jim, hope we're not yet driving you crazy! Oh, when can we expect the breakoff-plan? blue ones, M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

70kg with or without equipment?? You might try a 150 - I personally wouldn't go smaller. Stay with a square one. At size 150 this should be responsive enough and will give you lots of fun and enough challenges for a long time. Don't go smaller as long as you can't land this new one in every direction (and yes, this means downwind probably even with some slight breeze from behind). And before you buy anything - demo the equipment in different conditions. (I demoed mine for some 20 jumps). blue ones, M. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

It's not about women wanting to have sex, it's about men wanting to impress them (independent of having any realistic chance at all). It's kind of like at a DZ when a new female student shows up. Suddenly nearly all of the guys are somehow skygods and offer there help "for free" while the 5 male students "should read the SIM" to get answers to their questions. Has the female student started skydiving to get sex? No. Do the mentioned skygods think their help leads to sex? Most probably Yes. 1) According to the quoted book - no army so far has managed to train that in an effective way. 2) According to my personal experience with 18-22 year old "wow-look at me I'm airborne!"-men I must say: No. Unless probably, you do nothing else than training to behave well. Which isn't quite what you want from a front line combat unit. For them to be effective you want them to be (at least a bit) aggressive. The only way, from my opinion, to solve this problem a bit, would be to have approx. an equal ratio. But even in the U.S., having the highest percentage of female soldier (in '02),it was just about 15%. vSCR No.94 Don't dream your life - live your dream!

I haven't read the whole thread, so this might be a repost. there is an interesting book called "Men, Women & War: Do Women Belong in the Front Line?" by Martin van Creveld which covers exactly this question and comes to the result of "No". There is no question, that you will find enough women to be able to perform the tasks necessary in front line combat as well as or better than men, who are currently serving in that exact "position". However, when it comes to the performance of mixed gender units, this will decrease. Men generally (details in the book) behave different to a wounded female than to a wounded male. While this is not rational, it is a fact that cannot be ignored. From my own years in an airborne unit, I have seen women entering the service for the first time and the sudden change in reaction/behavior of male soldiers. Not to mention the "internal fight" to be the chosen sex partner. Again not rational but a fact that can have serious effects in combat situations.
