  1. I see a whole bunch of issues with that and I am gonna try and stay on the moral high ground (but damn the dirty old man wate ris rising!). An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  2. I know nothing of the workings of web sights but would love to be involved. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  3. As a Dad who is buyiing fire arms cause he knows what is on a teen age boys mind, e-mail. She would ge ta kick out of it I am sure. It would also be a way to make any other DZ trips fun if she had a "pen pal" to meet. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  4. I actually wanted to vote for the forum and mailing list. My Daughter has been around DZ's and Skydivers her whole life and she would get a kick out of meeting others her age (she is almost 11, going on 21). An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  5. My Daughter travels with me almost every weekend. She even has a "job" as my chief safety inspector, she has a set of "safety" business cards and she fills one out each time I jump. It has; rig, helmet, eye wear, altimeter, jump suit, gloves, hug, student (with Harness, helmet, goggles and suit) and video dude. She gets $10 of every Tandem I make that she fills out the card and $5 for every sport/solo/coach jump. We frequent Skydive Paris, Paris TN, Skydive Smokey Mountains (Tennessee) and Greene County Ohio. I have even taken to bringing along one of her friends for her on the local trips so she isn't bored. We also plan some Dad & Daughter activities along our trip so it isn't ALL about me, cause lets face it until she is packing or jumping it is all about me the jumper.

  6. Can ACT as a Coach. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  7. I concur. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  8. "You in" I haven't been asked that in a long time. Oh the Skydive! If you come to Ohio for the Boogie I can probably work it. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  9. The full Board Minutes from the AZ meeting I believe. I saw it on the USPA web sight and will try and look, in between "work". An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  10. Some how I missed that very important line. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  11. Dave, Seen the sheet idea done and it looked real cool from above, it looked even cooler as I was setting up to land a tandem to the side of the proposal and the RW jumpers had a fellow catch afoot on the edge (staked down sheet) and ball it all up. I was laughing even though I felt bad, I laughed even harder when I saw the footage in slow mow on the Tandems video. The point? oh yeah, be careful with staking things down in or near the primary landing area. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  12. We cant forget that a "D" license holder can act as a Coach. So lets keep it as is minus the night jumps and put the Night Jumps on the PRO rating? JMO. If I am elected....J/K. Although I was asked. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  13. A combo worked well for a DZ nearby recently. Mow the letters then fill with flour. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  14. Cool. Um, yeah I miss you too? J/K An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  15. Can you access AKO (Amry Knowledge Online)? or some one you work with? If so go to the TM section and you should be able to get the -10 and any other TM/ Manual you need. If it works out and you get to AKO just click on the link for Amry Publications and Forms then link away from there. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  16. So that is why it seems we live in a dry county now. Almost all the Staff here is "D" licensed and those that aren't don't jump enough to hit those 100's very much. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  17. WHen the term "Master" was on the "D" license it made sense. Now I need to think about it. Maybe the PRO is the NEW "Master" and the night jumps could be there? But I still feel there should be Night jumps. Since there are a few who have admitted their Sunset load is pretty close to the definition of a night jump and if your doing it any way you might as well do it right. If the "D" license is the top license then we should have night jumps, live water training, CRW, VRW and TRW requirements. Just my Opinion that the license is too EASY even with 500 jumps.

  18. Come on, string together an original idea and put it here clearly so I can understand you. You still didn't answer the question nor clear up the previous posts relevance for me. It is your responsibility to provide the direction for your point, not mine to sift through the dribble and find it. Moulder is that you? An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  19. Ahh, so it was for selfish reasons, I am good with that. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  20. Isn't this bonfire? or did I click on the wrong button, again. Amazon and I might not be on the same sheet of music some times, but aren't all men and women dancing to two different tunes? Ooops ,this may go into the revocation of my man card, and we are supposed to be polling Amazon. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  21. Well then the "J" model C-130 with its 6 bladed prop is some thing you should stay away from! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  22. With the boobie talk, tall talk and just talk about you in general, you may be elevating more than just a few BP's! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  23. It does look cool though. A little red and white paint and you could have really messed up some of the skydivers who started in the '60s and 70s. (the previous line was a joke for the PC police) An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
  24. Yes you are. SC the place to show your ass, piss in the grass and take a pass. (Pass from reality, that is) An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
