  1. I spent 10 years traveling the country building their restaurants and Waffle House weddings are not all that uncommon. Seems like every couple of months there was a story of another one in the company news letter. Usually at least one of the wedding party was an employee. I just figured they weren't allowed any time off _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  2. I smoked for over 30 years. Tomorrow morning will be one year smoke free.
  3. Front to back top to bottom before I gear up, and then check my 3's before getting on the plane and before exit. If it's a coach jump, I let my student give me a good once over too. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  4. Correct, the BSR's are nothing but guidelines to be followed or ignored by each DZ as they see fit. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  5. The requirement for a FAA Class 3 medical certificate is in the BSR's C. Medical REquirements [NW] 2. Any skydiver acting as parachutist in command on a tandem jump must possess an FAA Class 3 medical certificate or the equivalent. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  6. All you have to do is be 40 or older. I signed up within a week of my b-day. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  7. Solos will help to build your confidence and help to quiet some of the nerves as you get used to this new enviroment. Both will help make your future coach jumps more productive.

  8. Half way between Anniston and B'ham on I-20. Lake Logan-Martin makes for some great scenery. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  9. Yes, Pell City is still flying the Cesna 205. Made 10 jumps from it this weekend. They are working on getting another turbine, but nothing yet. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  10. I don't believe Bill ever said he would make anybody do anything. He said he would recommend he do a few jumps without a helmet. As such, the jumper would be free to make up his own mind and if in doubt ask the opinions of others, which may or may not match your own. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
  11. Everyplace is gorgeous from altitude
  12. Fred, In my short 84 jump career I've jumped at 4 DZ's in 3 states and have always been treated like family. Don't stress over it, go JUMP and have some fun. _______________ D28695 PoPs #9237 "Mix ignorance with arrogance at low altitude and the results are almost guaranteed to be spectacular" — Bruce Landsberg
