  1. Welcome to the sport. I got addicted too. Did 2 tandems that day. I have heard of people getting AFF cert in a few days (1 jump - 1 level) I personally took 7 weeks and had to repeat L1 and L2. Was going only on weekends. Only thing I will say is: Relax. Once you do, it is very easy. Blue skies and soft landings, SJ "You did what?!?!" MUFF #3722, TDSM #72, Orfun #26, Nachos Rodriguez

  7. My name is Saddam, I hate you and your evil religion. I will visit you and your family in your hometown...... ssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss........ Poison gas. 300,000 dead. Remember and pray for the Kurds How can you put Bush in the same league as Hitler, Ghengis Khan, Mussolini, Saddam, Caligula, Nero. Our mistake was not to have a plan and resources to immediately swamp Iraq with food, water, fuel, power, jobs, medicines, etc not to destroy a tyrant who kills his friends and family to further his own ends. If is the way you still feel, please move to a Taliban infested country and try to voice your opinion, not go to church if you choose not to, have a beer after a good day of jumping, and oh, yes, skydive... There is probably something in the Q' uran to say that skydiving is punishable by stoning to death.... God Bless America and the men and women who give their lives to keep it free.....

  8. I personally like Deland, my home DZ. There are many teams from other countries. There are currently a twin otter and a porter flying. The LZ is fairly large and has alternates on the DZ too. Great food and normally a good amount of free beer. There are several others in central florida Titusville (15/18 jumps), Sebastian (near ocean), and z-hills (not been there yet). Hope to jump with you. All are nice and have great people running them "You did what?!?!" MUFF #3722, TDSM #72, Orfun #26, Nachos Rodriguez

  20. Quote: Registration is not the same as confiscation though. Why do you need to know which law abiding citizens have guns? Is it possible they might commit a crime in the future? Are you? Punish the criminals severely, surely, and swiftly. Don't punish the law abiding citizens. One might say laws keep people honest. I contend people are honest or not. The ones who are not, usually don't care about the laws. Therefore the gun control laws which regulate, unreasonably, law abiding citizens are ineffective and a waste of time. We need to keep criminals off the street permanently. There should be no such thing as a career criminal or the three strikes law. Hitler registered all guns. He then confiscated them. He then slaughtered millions of unarmed men, women, and Children. Remember, only lawful gun owners follow the laws. Take away all the guns from lawful gun owners, then only the criminals will have guns. Do you think the criminals will then say, "Oh, you don't have a gun? I'll be nice and leave you alone."? Compare the murder and violent crime rates in DC and Maryland. There is a big difference. An unarmed citizen is a victim. Look at England... Man shoots intruder, with a legally owned and stored shotgun, after he broke into the occupied dwelling the THIRD time. The home owner who was protecting his family is now imprisoned and can not get parole, "Because he is dangerous to Criminals." The intruder was a paroled murderer. Australia: Guns taken away from lawful owners. Gun crime down. Violent crime (Robbery, rape, murder, home invasions, kidnappings...etc) WAY Up! USA: Homeowner arrested after shooting intruder who had broken into his house multiple times. By Township ordinance, pistols were not allowed to be possessed in residences within the township. Sheriff gladly arrested the homeowner and the DA is proceeding with prosecution for firearm possession. The intruder turned out to be a violent felon with an extensive criminal history. The man was home asleep with his wife and kids at the time. Conversely, look at Kennesaw, Georgia. Low Crime "You did what?!?!" MUFF #3722, TDSM #72, Orfun #26, Nachos Rodriguez
