  1. So TRUE!!! With my first son (4y/o) I would get all kinds of women coming up to me. Now, we have 5mo twins (boys) and Wow!! have to carry a stick when I go out for coffee, store, ect. What up with that ladies???
  2. "Its not the fall that kills you, its the sudden stop" "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  3. As one of my former CSM's said "You do not have permission to die, only to go onto the next fight" Go with the knowlege that you did good in this world and we shall see you again my brother. Deepest respect Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  4. Try latex gloves under your football gloves. "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  5. I have both static and HALO jumps, would you log the HALO jumps? "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  6. Does anyone "carry over" military jump numbers into sport skydiving numbers? "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  7. I did a "packing" class to get my A lic. Packed a few of my own rig, but still pay a packer most of the time. The class I did was from an experanced skydiver (not a full time packer) becuause the regular packer that day was not availible and I was already up to 38 jumps still waiting for my packing class. I guess the bottom line is, Im looking for a "real" packing class either one-on-one or a day in class format. Im in N. CA so anything close would be great. tia "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  8. Going to toss my "8-tracks" and get a portable MP3 player. What do you like? Price? Ease of use? Thanks Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  9. JMHO....On my 4th AFF dive, we went over the dive on the ground from exit to landing. He told me that if everything looked good, he would fly in front of me. On the jump, I was so worried that I could not get a stable (in my mind) as I could have been. Once he flew in front, gave me a big smile, thumbs up....I relaxed and was very stable. On the debrief, he said the exit was clean and my body was a little stiff, but still stable and he made the decision to fly in front to get me to relax. It worked for me. One last note....All of you AFF-Is out there, Its an ominous position your in, taking someone life in your hands, guide them and make the possible spit-second decision while falling at 120mph to return this person to the ground safely. I salute my instructors and all of you AFF-Is out there!! Its not an easy task becoming an AFF-I. just my 0.02 Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  10. And they say skydiving will kill you....sheeezzzz. Glad your okay Whats next?? On the cell phone while in a 4-way at breakoff?? "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  11. Can you sync it up with a handheld (Palm, CE) device? "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  12. Lets see if they are dumb enough to try and sell them on the auction sites. Everyone keep a look out. "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  13. Where did you find the insurance? Part of your home/renter policy? "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  14. I have jumped the PAC750 at Skydance (Davis, CA) about 30 times and love it. Climbs like a demon with a full load to 13k very fast. Yes, if you by the door, very cozy, but, your out first
  15. Do a search on Ebay "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  16. Always have basketball "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  17. I know in my case, I was having some body flight issues. So, with my 18 jumps at the time, I went down to Perris and did 30 min of coach time. The result was; the rest of my jumps since have been much more enjoyable experance. As everything, the tunnel is a tool in my case and I treat it as such. Yes, I would rather jump also. Will I go to a tunnel again? Sure, if I develop an issue that I (or a coach) cant seem to work out on the ground and the air. jmho Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us?

    Google had an open sign up about a year ago for 100k "beta" testers. After that, was invite only. It should go live by 2Q next year from what I have heard. BTW, if you want a gmail, I have 5. PM your name and addy. Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  20. I dont know about the other new tunnel site, but the new manager of Silicon Valley (Union Landing) tunnel was at our DZ (Skydance in Davis, CA) during the FreeFly fest back in Sept. He was talking is up with anyone who would listen about how this would be a great place to train. I would tend to think that everywhere a new tunnel is going in, the marking guys are out there at the local DZ too. I could be wrong about it. my .02 Robert "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  21. Thanks for the info. I have a J-7. Was looking on equipment sites, most only have 30" PC. I will look at the Sun Path for further info. "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  22. Javelin w/BOC "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  23. I need a new PC for my PD 230 9-cell. What should I look for in both size and material? tia "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  24. How do you like to exit from what ever plane? I have only side door jumped while sport jumping. From both a Caravan & PAC 750, I like diving exits the best. Allows me to practice unstable exits very well. tia "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
  25. My first canopy was the smallest student one I flew on (230). My instructor (also the S&TA) also advised this size at least till I have 50+ on my own and then consider moving to a 190 - 210 range for the next 100 or so jumps. My exit weight is about 190. my .02 "Also I heard the voice of the Lord saying who shall I send, and who will go for us? Then said I, here am I, send me."
