  2. I was considering kicking everything up a notch, but then the pilot would be the one that truly suffered, he has to deal with it on every load Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  3. Dude, It's not a failure, but rather an additional opportunity to go skydive again to improve your basic skills. I also had to repeat 2 AFF jumps and as mentioned above I was not relaxed. Did your AFF-I video your jump? I am sure your received a debriefing on the jump, but the videos my AFF-I took during my training made it much easier for me to identify and corect my errors. Good Luck, Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  4. Absolutely send it to the manufacturer as previously suggested. Even though it was in a case it could have still been exposed to extreme temperatures. I have been in many residential fires with all my fancy gear and said "DAMN IT"S REALLY HOT IN HERE" Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  10. Well being a tourist I would hope the experienced folks at your DZ have made a strong effort to educate these folks. I feel pretty confident that the list is a last ditch effort to show some hardhead that they just aren't "getting it!" and now folks are betting on their demise. I must wonder though that if getting handed an pre-completed incident report with all their info on it doesn't get through to them why would a S, T, & A and DZO allow someone this unsafe to continue jumping at their DZ. If the hard head kills himself thats one thing, but what if the moron takes out someone else?? Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  11. That seems to be the question of the day..... Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

[Beer] for my 200th, just wanted to do something fun and it turned int to a 13-way hybrid attempt, and no we didn't make it but it was still fun. Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  14. I just wanted to take a moment to say thanks to all my new sky diving friends and family for everything they have done for me over my last 200 jumps. The learning curve is so very steep in this sport, but all of you have been great about "giving back to the sport" by helping me and I appreciate it. Speacial thanks to the folks that went on my 200th: "Groovalicious" Ryan, Vert and Billy "Guano" Chirs, Scott and Pete Jason, Kirby, Shawn, Tui (token chick on the jump ), Chris, Brett and Romero. Thanks for all the good times and I look forward to MANY more. Oh, and yes I bought . Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked

  17. This might be useful as well www.cypres.cc/Sites/englisch/My_Cypres_airtravel.htm I would print a copy and have it with me. this might prevent some flatfoot from opening your entire rig. Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  18. CPAT Certified Physical Abilities Test All of the posts are correct depending on wear she wants to work. With that said California will be starving for Firefighters and a degree in fire science is not required. It would be beneficial, but is not a minimum requirement. Captain Z.

  19. And there a 343 really pissed off fireman behind them, as well as 3000+ inocent folks that were in the WTC, Several hundred in the aircraft you cronies took and countless others you murdered!! Osama your in for a really shitty day!! Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  20. Many of the states fire departments are ramping up for mass retirements. The reason for this is that many of the employees survived the prop 13 tax cuts are reaching retirement age. Not only that but as the population grows more firefighters are needed to protect the citizens. What this means for your daughter is a lot of opportunity to get the job that she desires. Now that all the commentary is out of the way here are my meager suggestions: 1) Have her get her EMT-1 license. This should be available at your local JC. 2) While She is in school and after she is out have her get into the gym. The testing process and the job require upper body strength and endurance (PM if you like and I can provide further on this) 3) After she obtains her EMT-1 get a job with an ambulance company to gain experience. 4) Contact the departments she desires to work at and submit interest cards and start testing. Most of the departments now train their personnel in an academy setting. The fire science classes are helpful but not always a requirement. Blues, Phil Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
  21. As they said make your 1st jumps and then speak with your instructor and loft. If you are of avg size and build you can get some very nice used gear. if your built like me you better start saving I am in my gear for over 5 grand, but most of it is new.

  22. Dude!!! get your ass to the ER like right F*CKING NOW! The bites causes the tissue to die slowly (I had a friend lose half of his calf and he went to the ER right away). This is nothing to screw around with especially if you can see the puncture marks nad there are small blisters forming. If it's not a brown recluse and some other type your in good shape, if it is a brown recluse and you do not seek treatment till later you'll regret it. http://health-pictures.com/Brown-recluse-spider-bite.htm www.brown-recluse-spiders.com/ Fire Safety Tip: Don't fry bacon while naked
