  3. Amongst the Directors around here he is considered a genious. I too do not get all his work, but admit he has an eye for work. Now Rob Zombie.... An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. Thanks Lt. Legalize, no one needs to answer your questions. Rather your fomer S&TA should be the one answering questions. At the Very least his S&TA appointment should be revoked for life and the 3 I-I's should be suspended as T-I's for no less than 12 months. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  5. Same thought I had but I had a debri field in mine too! It is a cool pic, where is the next few frames with the rush of air cleaning the area of trash and sand? An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. There is a flaw in your memory. The second weekend the DZ was open I did go out as I was invited by several folks. Upon arrival I was infiormed by Mike Paiser I was not allowed to be there, I was "an unsafe skydiver and am banned". We adjurned to his office and discussed it very polite and proffesional. He had four points, he claimed made me unsafe. Of those points I was never actually involved in directly, he was involved directly in two of them. As I left the DZ that day, still banned and according to Mike "all ratings suspended" as well. I spoke to Chuck for about two minutes, Mike hovered the whole time we spoke and Chuck and I both didn't rehash what Mike had done. Upon filing my greivance with the RD (about the ratings suspended part) I waited to see what would happen and infomred the two DZ's I usaully jumped at and both said as the RD said I was NOT suspended they had no issues with me and laughed at the "Unsafe" label. It took over a month but Mike did finally call and appologize for over stepping and incorrectly banning me and suspending me. During that month Chuck and I talked two or three times and e-mailed the about same. We do not see eye to eye about the Corporations Marketing, as most do not. I did offer to help him understand and follow the CAO rules that the members of Ft Campbell would subject to. He passed. As soon as the appology from Mike came out , Chuck called and said "do not come out as your a negative vibe I do not want at the DZ". So yes there is at least one "banning". But as it seems your now permanetly in Waverly this is mute. By the way Paiser is still an S&TA, of what DZ I do not know, but he is. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  7. Ah but you work for the same Command. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. The balloon was flying this weekend and I must say it is impressive! It gets to 4K real fast! Those who made the Sat AM jump still had big grins when I left the DZ Sunday evening! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. OK Bill, what "Unique Personality" where you? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

  11. I think he came here to complain like many do and he did not ge tthe support he wanted. The DZ he jumps at has gone through another move and it's S&TA did not move with it. The RD told the DZ to use the "At Large" nearby, they never called and never would have any way. The DZ in its new location now has a new S&TA. The tw oS&TA's have a very close relationship, so I see no change in how the S&TA will work with the DZ. I think he and the DZ got what they wanted, just didn't have the patience to wait for it to happen. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Well our beloved Gawain (aka Max) has finished up his service in the U.S. Army. Max, Thank You for your service and for your sacrifice. It is truly an honor to have served along side you and to be able to count you as a friend. I wish you the best of luck in what ever your future brings you! I know you will do well and one day have an address on Pennsilvania Ave, right? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. Once or twice. It is cool, like mentioned here, to be able to jump with the sports Top Dogs and, even better, at the end of the day hang out and have a drink with 'em as well. Being a New "Old Guy" (or is it "Old" New Guy?) I can look back at my time in the sport and see that some of my students and past team mates are now part of that world class team. So yeah, when you combine those unique things this is a really cool sport! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. I got your PM, interesting read, but you have blocked me so how do you want me to respond? Here in this thread? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  15. What did you carry your lap top to the DZ to post this? I tried to beat ya! but alas, you win. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. Do you know what Level 5 is in relation to the USPA "Catagories" System? It may be that if you did the dissorientating manuevers you could be jumping with a Coach and the AFF-I shortage won't effect you. Provided you meet the requirments for the Self Supervised / Coach phase of the program. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. To draw on the Nashville Tourists you'll need to make it closer than Chatanooga. The TN, KY etc will travel there, but the Country Western Fans (the major Tourist base) will stay near Nashville. Who do I send the consult bill too?

  18. http://www.lyricsdownload.com/the-national-anthem-of-the-united-states-of-america-the-star-spangled-banner-lyrics.html I guess if you only sing the first stanza. But yep they are a Question. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. There are two other Co's doing the same research right now. The east side of Nashville/Cookville area would be a place to draw TN, AL, GA, KY and some of NC too. DZ's that skydivers would come from in TN are at least 4. KY at least three. It would need to be comparable to the XP tunnel as it is the standard to meet now if you want Skydivers to frequent it a lot! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  20. Hey any Skydiving Sailors in Norfolk VA? I need a little uniform procurement help. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  21. It is 31K+ current members of USPA, there are a few more skydivers out there who are not USPA members. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. Even for 30 second commercials we have every thing on set that would be in the "real" house or room or what ever it is. And of course we can not use some of it twice so it adds up. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  23. No, but I suspect you'll not be upset and you can rubber stamp what ever you want. I.E. Business as usuall, FAR's and BSR's be damned. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  24. It would seem that the issue you brought up has been resolved. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  25. Jsut buy a new Skysystems full face or like style helmet and have it painted, the lens can have various tints/films applied that you can see through, and you can open the lens for better vision under canopy. It will look cool and not kill you. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
