  1. Looks like they don't do that kind of stuff anymore due to shortage of manpower. Facebook
  2. I had to find some safety glasses for work so I went to http://www.safetyglassesusa.com/ ended up finding a few pair of goggles that I liked for jumping. Facebook
  3. I just happened to catch the show. My mother and I got a kick out of the responses from the staff in the show because they were almost identical to the nurses and doctors that took care of me after my incident two months ago(femur and pelvic fracture). Something about skydiving, MEDEVAC and emergency room seems to make them expect the worse right away. Facebook
  4. I've been on it since the end of August and I haven't had that kind of problem. Facebook
  5. I like them both, although I will slant more towards Gordon Lightfoot. I can listen to "If you could read my mind" over and over again. And of course "Sundown" Facebook
  6. I'm on there too. www.myspace.com/fallsfast Facebook
  7. I finally got mine on Saturday and put seven jumps on it this weekend. You are right I love the rig and the fact I don't have to pay rental fees anymore. Facebook
  8. That's a good looking rig. What was the turnaround time from Wings. I ordered mine in the beginning of April and I'm getting anxious. Facebook
  9. How about Gordon Lightfoot "If you could read my mind" or "Sundown". They're pretty old but I always liked the acoustics. Facebook
  10. Was that the movie where the paperboy on his bike followed John Cusak around everywhere he went, even the ski slope, hollering; "I want my two dollahs!"? That was the movie I was thinking of. Facebook
  11. Paperboy. Having to chase people down for a buck fifty at the end of the week was HELL. The kid from "Better Off Dead" was no exaggeration. Trying to finish the route during those sub zero wintery nights that would put a mailman to shame. I guess it built character. Facebook
  12. I agree with, if you left the plane and landed with a canopy, it counts. However, I chose not to count my military jumps, for no particular reason. Facebook
  13. Hope this will help you out https://www.infantry.army.mil/airborne/content/faq.htm. Facebook
  14. One thing I usually do at the gym is hang from a pull up bar where my feet don't touch the ground and try to relax all my muscles except for the ones I need to hold on, obviously. It's amazing the stuff you'll feel cracking especially the older you get. When I'm at the dropzone I'll stand at the end of one of the picnic tables and hold myself up trying to let my feet dangle as much as possible and maybe arch a little. This usually allows for a nice stretch. Facebook
  15. Anywhere I could find directions/address? Their website still shows the old address. Facebook
