Im happy to say...it wasn't me. (well techincally) i was studing the new ISP'S ,according to the errata sheet it says to remove and replace a bunch of stuff in the sims. well the test i was taking was just on the sims itself. i printed out the orignial sims and passed my "A"lisence test on monday!! WHOOO HOOO. i also did my first 5 way on the sunset load. what a blast!!! JT

i play guitar and sing too. ive written some skydiving songs. unfortunately NOBODY jumps in my local area so they wouldn't understand. (i've taken 26 tandems but only one got certified and still jumps with me)but i wrote some lryics thatwhuffos could easily misinterpret. a bluesy(not crying in my beer blues but like sitting around a bon-fire blues) song about being held back by a whuffo girl. i just gotta be free... wont you let me go... dont you mock me for the thing that i do iv'e always told you the truth i'm still freefalling for you... (that type of stuff.) dont ever tell me i cant...go down dont ever try to keep me.. on the ground dont' you ever tell me i cant get high dont tell me i cant leap into the sky. of course there more meat to the song but you get the idea. that was the most recent stuff i wrote so that i whuffo can hear it and think that im talking about sex,woman and drugs...when in fact im talking about sex, woman and skydiving(which to me is a drug) i have some better lyrics but i haven't finished the music for them yet. i do like the saying"nascar is for pu$$ies, i can do 300 standing on my head" hope you find what you're looking for have fun, live free, SKYDIVE!!!

hey all, I'm gonna be in texas(witchita falls) for 6 weeks starting jun 21st. does anyone know/ suggest a dz that has a good rep and is close to the area? im not worried about a 150-200 mile drive!i just want a reputatble dz, i will NEED TO JUMP!!! but i am not at all familiar with the area. thanks, jt JT

i gotta say sis, it's been a while since i was able to peep around here but it posts like these that keep me laughing. thanks for the smile. blue skies jt JT

im sure it is easier than im making it out to sound. when i failed the last time i showed my book to the dzm. he said that i should have sections 3-7 in the book. but in the errata it says they should be replaced by the uspa isp. so i replaced those sections. i think the test ive been taking was a VERY VERY old version, so i printed the old SIMS and im gonna take my answers from that. if i fail again there may be gun play afterward.(j/k) really if i do fail again. im going to another dz. if i fail there then im just a dumbass!(which is a possibility that shouldn't be ruled out just yet! :D ) JT

hey Donna, yes i wouldn't mind if you could send me the study guide you have. i just d/l a copy of the sims. and all of the answers i found were the same.( i practically memorized the questions.) but i had the 2001 section 4 supplemented for 1998's section 4-7 so i may hafta re-read that stuff. but when i skimmed thru it the info wasn't much different. if the study guide is on disc you can send it to me at [email protected] if its a hard copy lemme know and i'll send ya my address and whatever postage cost. blue skies jt JT

well since its kinda sexist i guess this is thew best place to tell it... what was the smartest thing ever to come out of a womans mouth... answer--(ow, this might hurt) Einsteins'... (well i guess you get the idea) JT

hey everyone, i've got a question for all who have taken the test for the a license. I seem to be doing something wrong. the more i study the more answers i get wrong. the 1st time i took the test i got 6 wrong. then i studied and missed 10 then 12. i think i might be studying the wrong version of the SIMS!! before and after i took my test, i lookewd at the sims for the answers. i swear i answered them correctly as it read in the sims but i missed almost every question. does anyone know if there is a study book specifically for the "a" license? b/c im really getting pissed off now! im going over seas SOON, for a few years and if i dont have an american uspa licence then my 40 jumps won't be worth a thing over there. any info would help me out ALOT have fun live free skydive JT

hey wingnut, all i could get was the audio but damn after reading your desciption of it its sounds pretty hairy. congrats on landing safely. thats what its all about!!! jt JT

im with ya wingnut! army of one? what happened to the team objective(zennie hit that on the head) i'm trying to find out about the A.F. jump team. i know they aren't hugely known but we got one . i wanna find out how to jump with em!!! im guessing they're just an expedition team , like the knights. shit free jumps, getting out of the workcenter, off the flt line, travel to all the events. yea id have to say that it would be better then what i do now!!! either way im gonna; have fun live free.& SKYDIVE!!!!!
