  1. Just put a bottle to rest minutes ago! A moment of silence for the fallen please. Jack is good stuff. Funny that the distillery is just an hour down the road, in a dry county! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. My wifes size of course! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. I see the look of frustration on Mr. H's face a lot! I am sure he has a more acurate count down to my retirement date than I do! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. That family of wacko's has been doing this crap for a while. They came here not to long ago and when they saw the huge mass of supporters for the soldiers they cut the size of their protest down, removed all the men (figuring the women and CHILDREN they made stand in the rain would not be harmed, we didn't want to harm any one just protest back) then they left 2 hours before their block time was over. I agree they have a right to free speach and think they should be allowed to use it, but at the Former POTUS's wake? These people are an abomination to that which they claim to be devine in! I have spent some time on the web sight and it is nothing but pure hatred, thinly disguised as religion. Sad family all in all. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  5. I think in a few more jumps I may be ready to give a wing a try. But as I am not a hot chick how much is this going to set me back? How hooked would I get? Finally, how quickly will it ruin my marriage to a none skydiver when I start stocking up on wing suits? Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  6. I have never been at a SL DZ that payed any thing to teach or JM. Video, AFF, and Tandem I's get payed here. Be happy! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. You go to the wrong clubs. Why back when I was your age and in F-ville I was swamped in women! (see the old war story thing from a retiree has already started) Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. The whole team was pooped and just hit Logans for a steak and then crashed early. The Demo went well and they are planning on spending the week there from the 8th of January to the 12th of January. I will be having Back surgery and may or may not be there that week.

  9. Sadly, to many won't see that as fact and will panic, then all hell will break loose in the US arena of politics. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. The guys at work like it! We look for the NSFW tags here! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. I like the Sharchuters over the Ravens. I have maybe 10 to 15 jumps with Ravens (mains canopy) and 200+ on a Sharpchuter (Mains mostly, but Including a few Sharpchuter Reserve rides) Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. Like my mustache come over idea? Or the casual war day? Hula shirts on the towers! I think for the quoted soldiers to be taken seriously there needs to be a little more clarification. I now there are some of the 18,000 that just returned home here who don't agree with why we are there or how we are doing. But I think this is more "out of context" or "leading questions answered" testimony. It is just a gut feeling and I may be wrong. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety.

  13. Hey if you want to believe all that crap, have fun, it is your right. Just don't expect any one who has read the same stuff your quoting from (or watched live on TV or maybe even in person) to side with ya here. Hell the pass port thing alone is funny. I open the archives of home video's from the disaster and see plenty of material scattered upon the impacts, paper, concrete, metal, etc. etc. But the funniest thing is watching those posts where you want to argue Engineering with Bilvon? Your dedicated, I'll give you that. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. When I did the "INDEF" hitch I took my CO to 14K in the UH-60 we did the oath and then I hooked him up and out we went Tandem. My "incentive" was to try and "scare" the big bad Ranger out of him. He just wanted to escape from the office and he gave me a week off to Train for the jump.

  15. Call (270)798-6926 and ask for "DOC". Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. It's pronounced "heel-owe" and spelled Helo. Heli, sheesh. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. Yul, Out witted, out lasted and out played. Looks like he won the way your supposed to! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  18. We are heading out of here around 530 or 6 am, we should be there by 9am on the 20th. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. Disclaimer: I don't like ANY party, IMO career politicians are all crooks supported by BLIND followers with out sense, but with money. Since the Senator only won by ~500 votes and the second place guy is a R (and the guy being discussed to be appointed) then it would make sense. This would be the next "majority" in the state. Kind of like a beauty pageant, first runner up is next in line. It would not be pissing in the face of the Country. The State voted on these two, not the Country. Looking at the current alignment and trend in that state they are pretty much right down the moderate middle (as this country did during the last vote, when you look at ALL the various levels of elections). To paraphrase a TN voter, The Dem's are no better than the Repub's, but maybe a change in power will help, but it is probably like replacing one mob boss with another, business as usual. Max has a good question, I hope we can find an answer, as it is not a one sided issue. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  20. The SE Team will be there again on wednesday the 20th practicing for the Demo into the Papajohns.com Bowl. We will be using the C-182 for a 2 man stack out (time restraints you know and helos are all getting the wholes and dust worked out of them). Again they will be easy to recognize,
  21. Its all good! Send me a case of beer for my share and we are cool! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. Are you doing the USPA Coach Course or the SDU Coach Course? The advice above is good for the USPA one and will also have some for the SDU Course, but my understanding is they are not the same and have some differences. Working with Students is fun and rewarding (really!), so go forth and enjoy! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  23. It is actually a 7 cell that can be made of all ZP or a hybred or all "F-111" type fabric. It is the canopy of choice of the majority of military Demo Teams in the US. The canopy has the ability to fly into all conditions and allow for a safe landing for all properly trained Demonstrators. I also like being able to talk to the guy who helped assemble my canopy and who helped develope new concepts for the canopy. They are always just a phone call away and answers can be implemented the very next jump.
  24. Bill, Speedy recovery to you and best of health in the future! Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  25. We have a Tandem main like that. I got no issue with the colors for Canopies, for Jump Suits, filming RW it is a bit of a "bleed" issue. Matt An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
