Damn, now I suck because I have an LG phone AND an iPOD!

Look out ladies - Tony is cooking up something special and has been working hard on it for some time. Fitted like the Female Pit/Space suit, it has many interesting features. Some of the male prototype suits have been on the boogie circuit for a few months and you can expect to see at least a few Lady Flyers this weekend at the Z-Flock as well as at the Chick's Rock Boogie!!!

I picked up one today that fits me and plan on taking it to Sebastian tomorrow!

Thanks Tony for selecting me as a prototype "tester" and for working to get the suit fitting "just right"! Can't wait to jump it!

We'll see if we can get Flora to post some pics of hers soon - my digi's out of commission right now.

Just make sure you skip over Yanni and Zamphir this time!

I just know that Katie and Chuckie will want my extensive Debbie Gibson collection.

You guys are killin' me!!!

We can't blame Jack this week 'cuz his shit is turned off. Instead of the 54Mbps link I used to get to his booster, now I'm back to the 11Mbps link at the WAP. Sucked really bad today during the rain.

No worries, Oren - haven't started any massive downloads (other than the porn of course)!

Sense of humor folks goes a long way...

Wow!!! I can say I knew you when...

You guys look great! Congratulations!

Someone call for a Captain?

I don't know how you do it girl; but, that said, somebody has to. As far as I'm concerned as long as you still have feelings when you do it you'll never become a cold and heartless bitch.

That was meant to make you feel better...

HUGS Mar!

I'm in the Army I'm used to being a slave...

I took all my cd's and music on my computer and I have over 500 songs loaded already. I only have 10 more cd's to get through but there's at least 6 or 7 albums on each cd...

That should be a good start!

Kramer - you got a long way to go... keep your head up. Don't worry - we haven't trashed the condo yet. There was a fire last week but it was on the opposite end of the compound by Micky.

What's up - you still up for Sebastian tomorrow afternoon - we could ride!

LOL!

Ok. I'm just going to start with what I currently have in my library as well as what I get from Tony and Karl...

Keep your panties on Oren.

He's in NC. He just called and I told him what he bought me!

You cannot use the gift until your actual b-day....

Too late!!!

JT - download sites, exactly! It's so easy to use I love it already!

He just doesn't know it yet!

Chuck's not good with the whole gift-giving thing which really works to my advantage because I always get what I want! So, I ordered a new 60G iPOD online Friday (my birthday isn't until November - small details) and got it in the mail today. Can't wait to order some cool accessories!

Anyone have any good music download tips?

Jack, you've always been one of the cool kids!

Be careful, though, I think Lynn would put up a good fight!

Actually, I think we were called... yeah, that's it!

Yeah, that was cool.

I tried to make our pic my avatar but even at 65x75 it's too bit. It's like 18k.

Yeah, remember the drummer, Eric, is going to come out and make a jump. I have him in my phone as Seahorse!!! The lead singer made a tandem a few years ago.

All of the cool kids will be at the Hog Flop in Palatka.

.

Yep - it's our anniversary! Made it to 2!

Yeah, that guy Paul was there too!

Thanks everyone! I had a blast. I think I gave Chuck's web site to over 20 people doing a little skydiving recruiting. He's going to get a bunch of e-mails from people he doesn't know!

I danced with a 70 year old Cuban who couldn't even speak English but he managed to e-mail me that following morning. His son must have typed the e-mail for him - his name was Alfonso.

Can't wait to see the rest of the pics! Especially the one with me and Andrea so I can make it my new avatar!

Thanks to Vin and Kim for the slumber party at the mansion!

TK - think the only thing that slowed us down was the big ways... made manifesting tricky; but, I plan to be here jumping my butt off instead of drinking my butt off!
Wendy - are you claiming the hide-a-bed?

Last I heard it was going to be destroyed.

Yeah, Mom got fucked on the military stuff (all went to the new wife of 1 year).

Thanks for the PM's... am calling for a probate in Texas tomorrow.

NO THREAD HI-JACKING... WE'RE BEING SERIOUS HERE!

I just saw this... almost made this my new sig line:

Krisanne: I mean, how great is a thread titled "the reality of nutwaxing" that has an ATTACHMENT!!!!

Girl, NOBODY can forget the boogie in Eloy. Chuck's brothers were downloading that video on Skydiving Movies.com!!!

Jake: So, Katie, how bad Do you want to get out of the Army...

(As Katie's kissing Mouth)!

Mar - I didn't forget you either, girl. Just saying that after Eloy then the Bytch Boogie, Chuck cut me off!

It has rather silly ceremonies for nearly everything.. ostensibly because "they" believe it builds Esper de Corps... but the reality is they generally do them because "we've always done them" even if it makes no sense to anyone still living and serving.

According to whom?

Coming from the 82nd Airborne Division who probably does just as many or more ceremonies than any other Army Division, they certainly have their purpose.

We put on a Division wide Retirement Ceremony every single month in the Division. Ask any one of those Paratroopers who have been to multiple combat zones and made tens sometimes over a hundred static line combat jumps in the middle of the night from 800' what it means to stand in that ceremony. The answer: THE WORLD! It's probably one of the proudest days of their lives or they wouldn't do it.

We do a All American Week Pass and Review every year. The entire Division, some 15,000 troops on the field at one time remembering what it was like in WWII when troops stormed across battlefields. That's what it's all about. Without the history, it means nothing. To me, it means everything..

Don't get me wrong, I bitch and moan about the countless hours of rehearsal; but, when I'm standing at attention, and the 82nd Freefall team jumps in our Nation's colors, and they march forward and stand for the National Anthem, there hasn't been a year that I didn't get goosebumps and a tear didn't well up in my eyes.

anyone who wants to make their own decisions based on their personal timeline and desires..... shouldnt join the military

I make plenty of decisions based on my personal timeline and desires (AND I'm a woman so it's even tougher). Yes, I've made some sacrifices along the way but the men and women in uniform choose to make those sacrifices.

Hell, I'm sitting here in Z-Hills, getting paid, getting promoted, going to graduate school (9 hours a week by the way), and loving my life. Pretty fortunate, huh?!

You're entitled to your opinion but to me it seems a little narrow-mineded.
