The DZO sets the tone of the drop zone. Makes you wonder what they sound like. It is also fair to say that there are those (DZOs) that have no ideal because Instructors have not told them or the instructors have no ideal themselves.( or don't care?) I hope that all this will bring something that will make ISP work. (or be worked) Do or do not

As you have said Mr skymonkeyone. All that happens.(you right you right you right) I heard the saying from a DZO Oh don't worry about that you can jump here and we'll take care of that for you. All that really happens is the student jumps there gets mad because the card is not being taken care of and leaves. Now the student is wondering if every place is this way. ISP followed this is not an issue Do or do not

You right you right YOU RIGHT!!!!! Do or do not

I found that on so a called big canopy that front riser and the out side line pulled into the chest (7 cell canopy) Is no big deal. Makes my feet feel like their going to come off but, they don't. Do or do not

Dude ask Gary Pond he can help. Do or do not

I went there and jumped as part of the Golden Knights RW team. I do not have any pictures. IT WAS AWSOME. We had an Air Force Air Guard C-130. We travelled from Pope Air Force Base NC in the C-130 trained from it jumped with the EOD guys and also had lobsters that we caught from the sea to supplement the Navy chow. It realy rocked. Do or do not

Bank account is a very good statement. The more ratings you have the more your worth. And be very wise to were you go and who you work for if you are looking at a DZ ask about it.i.e. has anyone worked for these folks what can you tell me? I'am sure you will get answers. Good luck. Do or do not

I hear force alot. I would hope that want to do would come to be the reality. (optimistic?) Retraining for pilot chutes and two handles. I have heard out of DZO's mouths (will not be metioned) why do that it has been ok before. Along with why move the pilot chute from the leg it's only a problem some times. Real reason money. Back to it. Well begun is half done. Retraining is a long road. We have the ablity to train them right the frist time and it is better. Reason. People will revert back to what they learned frist in a stressful situation. Unless the have had a serious amount of training. Tracking. ISP Category F lays it out as does the A license proficiency card and A license progression card. Train them right. Train them to standard. Hold to the standard. It is in there you have to know it before you can teach it. Do or do not

Your asking for a tell me what is this or that. Please Please do not take this wrong but, do you know that if you sit down and go through the ISP with the A card it will be very clear what is going on. I'am glad that your really asking questions about this and your asking what is going on but, do you teach the whole of ISP or just what fits for you ( I may be should not say that ) If you really go through the ISP there are 14 jumps (you really have to go through it to find them) Then at the end of going through that you can see what the porgam is about. you may not agree but, you don't have to. sorry again not meant to be mean. Please let me know if I made it better or worst. I'am looking at this like I'am a idiot. That can't talk. Do or do not

Derek, E-mail on the way. I hope alot. I have seen far to many. Do or do not

Dude, Thanks for saying that (the student looses) It's really not about right or wrong. It is about BETTER! Thanks again Do or do not

It is not just Jumpmasters (old term) but. it works. The DZO sets the tone of the drop zone good , bad, right or wrong. It's more of what can WE do better not what is done wrong. Do or do not

If i made a statement that sounds like it can't be done please forgive me. Small Cessnas and tailgate aircraft . It is true that you can exit without the filps. As far as my profile Sorry I choose to have it that way. There are many things that I would like to put in but, there was no place for them. If you realy want to know I can send it to you. Do or do not

Remember. Your having fun !!!!! Smile it is easy to relax when your not all worked up. It's hard to be worked up with a smile. If you can think back to a part of your skydives when every thing was right averything was cool and there was not a single worry. It was all good. That is were your mind or soul (if you will) should be. This will allow you to perform. It is your happy place and will let you do all those things that you have been trained to do. Happy place. sounds funny but it works. Think about what your going to do with this frame of mind when your training and when your in the plane. Nice deep breaths help to, hold'em then let them out. I'am pretty sure some one has said this to you. Have fun stay in your happy place you'll do just great Do or do not

I do flips becaues of the aircraft mostly but if the cleint wants I will be happy to grant their wishes. They are paying for it Do or do not
