DeiselI know that USPA allows Military Free Fall course graduates to do a 1 jump transition to civilian equipment and will issue an A license upon successful completion of that jump. Does anyone know what reference/publication covers the transition of MFF qualified parachutists over to the USPA system? I've done a bunch of these but was never asked for anything in writing that allows it. And now that I look, I can't find anything in the SIM or IRM.

We take their schoolhouse log book and transfer over the dates of the equivalent jumps to the A-card. It isn't so much an agreement, more than it is - the students DID the jumps for the A-license (plus a bunch) - we are just filling out the A card and doing an equipment familiarization jump with them.Scars remind us that the past is real -

Flawed process but with an acceptable outcome.
I disagree Louis. This is not an acceptable outcome. This is going to have impacts beyond what they intended.

yeah - incredibly responsive is the way I'd describe it. Think about moving in a direction, and you're going that way.
Sweet! Windmiller keeps telling me to "think turn" instead of turning... Sounds like a solution here!!!

ASU successfully recruited and hired me. I must be nuts to go back to a uni but it IS in arizona. Start Jan 9th.
Eloy peeps (Remi, Betsy, Kelly...) you have been warned.

but seriously, there really is no rhyhm or reason to the handshake. You'll notice a bunch of people do it differently too. The only reason I can think of is as I said above. We just really like to touch eachother.
We had a discussion about this several years ago (more than I care to mention). It can mean a bunch of things - have a good jump, build team spirit, etc. It could quite possibly be the last time you ever see or interact with that person.
For me, it is my way of saying my peace, thanking you for jumping with me and letting everyone on the bird know I love them. Even if I hate your ass on the ground...Scars remind us that the past is real -
Was my first LP. I was very impressed by everything. I will definitely be back. It was an awesome experience.
Not sure about paddling two miles on the lake at two in the morning again though...Scars remind us that the past is real -
T-minus 14 hours to start the drive. See you all there.

QuoteBTW ... in spite of all my "preemptive whinning" about the cold, I'm getting really excited about this trip
and making a few skydives as well (not in that order) sounds just about perfect

QuoteQuoteUsually 40's, but ice on the windshield in the am is not unheard of.
High 30s is the lowest I've seen it, but as Ed said, generally mid-high 40s overnight. Last year wasn't so bad cold-wise while we were there, but I think the fact that it was cloudy/rainy a lot kept the temps more moderate. I'll take more sun and colder nights!
Whew - okay. I was thinking I needed to dig out the -80 crap. Not easy to do when its 102 here.
Will start driving soon!Scars remind us that the past is real -
QuoteQuoteOlympia,
This is Montana. Bears are everywhere. Nights are cold. Days are hot. People are drunk. I will bring a .357 magnum for you to sleep with to protect yourself from bears, locals, and marauding skydivers from Canada.

I feel so much better now ...

hang on - just how cold are we talking about? below freezing? 40s?
Any tips are greatly appreciated :)Scars remind us that the past is real -

QuoteQuoteHaha, almost
I'm not sure if that's funny at all. Pond swooping a tandem? A Golden Knight, who as far as I know only does high-profile promotional jumps, is attempting to pond swoop a tandem? In front of, what I can only assume, is a crowd of some sort?
If the pax was an experienced jumper and willing participant in a 'stunt' at a DZ for fun, then it is funny and cool all at the same time.
If this was business as ususal for the GKs, then it's not funny.

QuoteI'm not really sure, but I would venture to say packer error? The individual who stowed them is fairly new and isnt perfect? I'm not sure where youre going with this. Am I under investigation?
Lesson for all jumpers using packers. Stow your brakes!
Not only will it result in a faster pack job - you make sure they are set correctly.Scars remind us that the past is real -
QuoteIt was my own rig.
So the next question is - why did someone else stow the brakes wrong?Scars remind us that the past is real -
QuoteFirst cutaway under a rapidly spinning main because the toggle was stowed wrong(not by me). I chopped right at a grand. It only makes me love the sport even more. Is that weird?
your rig or a rental rig?Scars remind us that the past is real -

I need to go back through all my books and documents, but I remember reading about a 3 ring release system being used in the late 1920's, early 1930's to release instrument packages from weather balloons. It was later adopted to use on parachute risers. I'll see if I can find that reference later this evening.
