I remember my "FIRST" (did I say that) jump!!! I didn't get the feeling of falling like the non jumpers expect. What I do remember, and don't feel anymore is EXTREA accelaration. It felt like GOd put his hand on my back and was pushing me down... That last about 4-5 seconds probably till the drouge came out, but then it was just like flying. It is cool and crisp up there, and at 14K feet there is a destinct clean smell to the air. Very noisy too!!! Just Shut Up and Jump!!!!

Yup... I noticed the hottie too So JT, is Daizey really that short? Or is everyone else just tall. Well, maybe she can answer!!!

Are you starting AFF At the Ranch?????

I live 40 minutes from a DZ... But i live 2.5 hours from MY Dropzone Sux, but worth going to the other DZ!!!!!

0:2:0 One more jump (HOP&pop) BEFORE i GRADUATE!!!!!

HAPPY SKYDAY brother.... Here's to Many more

1. I knew I always wanted to do it, but lacked the $$$. My Girlfriend bought me a tandem for my 25th b-day, and here i am. 2. It has been just under a year now. 3. I love the one second you let go of the plane and you are free... No way to describe it other than wwwaaaaaaahhoooooooo..... I hate the fact that all of my money and time goes into it.

Good to see it bumped... My name is Christopher Gross, and I am a meteorologist. I work for MIT and I am contracted out to the USAF. I currently live in NY, but I am a transplant from the Boston area... GO Bo-Soxs

I haven't, but now i am thinking of bumping it up.

Well JT... the weather sucked and we missed eachother, but I did get a couple jumps in on Friday . You have to come by again. Oh, BTW, Mike Myers was there briefly on Fri... I told him you said hi!!!! Not sure if he knew WTF I was talking about... he just said "Cool Mate" Anyway... get you ass up here again when the weather is better!!!

If you watched the Clinton New Network (CNN) they reported this story immeadiately followed by... And as of yet no WMD have been found in Iraq. THe lefties are hating this crap. Could you picture Clinton flying in??? I can't Chris

I with you here.... SAD yes, but in the south... this goes on with some regularity. Things that happen North of FLA and south of D.C rearely surprize me. What people don't realize though is there is still segragation in South Boston. Most of it is by choice though...

NO... YOU ARE JUMPING ON THE 8TH.... IT WILL HAPPEN! JT is starting a fund for you

I printed 2 copies of last years SIM at work.... go for it!!!

That's a shame I really liked Mike.... Funny bastard he was! Or maybe I just couldn't understand what he was actually saying Hopefully he will still visit!

Check your messages... I just PM'd you. I live about 10 minutes from you, and could answer some of your questions.

sorry, i just wanted to keep it at the top incase someone in the area responds. Daizey...are you going to jump??????

BUMP!! I may be able to do IT!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I only have a couple more student jumps to do... But I am GAME!!!!

That is just mean.... Not on sunday

I read your last post about how these Hollywood types F-up their own lives... Good Point. While we are on the topic of the Dixie Chics... I wonder what educational background they come from. Did they go to college? Finish High School? There is an intersting article going around comparing the idiots which criticizes the war and the administration. It compared their educational background. Quite humoris. Take Cheer for example...She thinks he knows world politics even though she dropped out of school in 9th grade. Where as Condi Rice has 2 Phd's, or Powell with more than one grad degree. These people are obviously TOO stupid to realize their leaders are smart. There is good reason why Cheer isn't president... Cuz she is STUPID!!!

Well, Keep your fingers crossed for the weather here in the northeast. Tomorrow I go for recurrency training, and if all goes well in the weather dept, I will be making some jumps on Sunday. It will be 7 months to the day since my last jump!!!!!!

I don't go to my Mechanic for advise on my Cancer, and I don't really want to go to my entertainers for poitical advise.... unless they are running for office!!! Spout off all you like dixie chicks... Do it in a foriegn country, and I will exercise my right to boycott you!

Well bill, I am starting to come around.. especially after news of people in chirac's government turning on him, but that is still a tough one for me. Let's face it, "The French" really don't like the US too much. They like our $$$, but not us as people. They think we are all fat, greedy, and arrogant. Obviously not everyone in France thinks this way, but a good amount do. I know someone who's parents were born and raised there, and they just moved to another country, bucause they could stand the French arrogance... It goes both ways.

Correct, but that doesn't look at the economy as a whole. The %'s he was talking about refered to French tourism as a whole.

Who is doing the ridiculing???? The NY times? The Washington post? or is it CNN who is getting destroyed by Fox in the ratings???? See it just goes to show you it does matter where you get your news. You and I will differ because where we get our new is constantly battling with eachother. What I am saying is that he unlike some editorialist have the ability to separate his OPINION from his reporting. Sure, they are in the same show, but it is clearly stated when opinions are given. Many other shows are not so separate, and their views are "spun" into the story. Back in the day when TV first came out, all the newspapers used to bash TV reporting. Actuall it still happens to some degree. When cable news came out, and the network guys saw their popularity waning they too lashed out against cable news. The network guys are a dying breed, and they should be. THey are just clone of eachother (Rather, Brokaw, Jennings) Now you are seeing a battle internally between the cable stations. All of them trying to discredit the others. It is kind of like what is happening in this world. The USA is the top dog, and the rest of the world is against us for it. FOXNEWS is the topdog, and the other channels hate them for it.
