what a troll.

huah!

im asking in general terms. its not like i am going to attempt that at this level. i was just asking. it aint a baseball field...its a 200yd x 100yd grass field with a little league baseball field inside it. it is at a private school.

its a private school's baseball field down the street. like a block away.

those are definately "air" sports, if you know what i mean.

you all sound like a bunch of old maids. dont blow your bloomers off about it. this is a democracy, and the people of this nation have an obligation to fulfill the commands of our superiors. thats the way it is. whether there is a draft or not, and whether your children are inducted or not, that certainly does not mean "death, sadness and destruction". certainly not to their future. when it comes to being drafted, there are a myriad of positions in the military besides just the stereotypical position - infantry. much of the navy is about standoff combat aboard ships, and the army certainly does not mean direct combat. there really, really is nothing to worry about. besides, the sss would not re-institute the draft unless there was a major conflict/world war. since world war II and vietnam, military operations have become much more precise and surgical, in all general terms, than in those times. there is now much less a need for actual troops to be shipped within conflicting regions then there used to be. we used to base attacks on soldier charges to overpower the enemys trenches. now we send missiles and planes and bombs and tanks and cannons into battle, which even in themselves operate under standoff conditions, then use troops as occupants to safeguard the regions after the major-scale of the war has passed. our troops are much safer now than they used to be, with all our technology, and there is much less a need for them than in the earlier conflicts. im just trying to relate this to what you are seeing today, and im just trying to give you the reality of it all. -e

i. e. skydiving, hang gliding, etc... just want to make sure i know them all.

how difficult is it to become a pilot of one of these? they look amazingly fun, like skydiving. you can get some altitude! 15,000ft+! i think that is just amazing...i mean think about it. flying a hang glider at that altitude for as long as you want. damn. is it hard to learn? is it safe?

im enlisting anyway as infantry after jc... rangers lead the way! ...i do not see where all your worries come from. the military is an exciting way to learn and experience a lot of things. its a good way to go.

can i pay the pilot to fly over my house and id land in the field behind it? or is that unlawful? -whuffomatic

are you serious?

ive seen the leapfrogs do this cool thing when their going like...what...30mph toward the ground face first under canopy, and the canopy is facing horizontally toward the ground and so is the diver, then when hes like 20 feet from the ground he pulls back and he comes to an immediate halt and lands without raising a foot. i just thought that was awesome...what is it?

under-canopy backflip? is it possible to do a complete vertical 360 under canopy? sorry if whuffo.
