Ok, I have a question for the experts on train exits. I did my first train last weekend. I am a pretty new freeflyer. I was the bottom person on the train. My problem was that while we were in the train I couldn't get my feet down so I was in a reclined sit, so when we exited the train I fell onto my back and went high, then I couldn't get back down to the person I was jumping with (who was bigger than me). Is this a normal difficulty in trains? Is there a trick to getting your feet down if you are the bottom person in a train? You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

One word: RAMEN!! Get a case of it (24 packs) for something like $2.00. Can't get much cheaper than that. It's the ultimate Bachelor/Starving student food. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Sorry, but we're hogging it all down here in Southern California. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I am no expert here, but I say if you can afford it go ahead and do more than one in a day. It gives you a chance to really get down what the body position feels like without having a week between jumps to let your muscle memory get lax. Still do your debriefs and think about your jump between dives, but go for it. I did aff 1 and 2 on the same day, and it worked out just fine. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

I grew up in Indonesia, so I always got Ramen when I was sick. But the authentic Indonesian kind that is spicy enough to kill anything trying to live inside of you. That always worked well. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Well, I just came across this, and thought it kind of fit in with the Accents thread so I thought I would throw it up here: 25 Ways to Annoy a Yankee 1. Take your own sweet time when doing ANYTHING. 2. Pronounce all one-syllable words with two. 3. When giving directions, finish with "it's right down yonder on the left." 4. Talk REAL slow, and ask them to speak more slowly so you can understand what they're saying. 5. When they talk nostalgically about the North, tell 'em "Delta's ready when you are!" 6. Talk loudly and often about SEC football or ACC basketball. 7. Refer to every soft drink as a Coke. 8. Always order sweet tea and/or grits. When they don't have it, raise a ruckus. 9. Offer to send 'em a bottle of fresh air. 10. Insist on being addressed by your first AND middle names. (e.g. Lisa Marie -- John Michael -- Jim Bob. . .) 11. Frequently bring up "The War of Northern Aggression" in conversation. If anyone ever says the words "Civil War", always interject that "there was nothing civil about it." 12. Address all males as "son" and females as "little lady". 13. Correct their pronunciation of certain words. For example: "It's 'pee-can.'" 14. Put Tabasco on everything. 15. For New York Yankees: Act as if the whole state of New York is New York City. In other words, if they say "Yo, I'm from upstate New Yoik!", say "Well I'll be, my wife has always wanted to see a Broadway show!" 16. When invited to dinner, offer to bring dessert. Show up with a box of Moon Pies. . . banana ones. 17. Name all of your children "Bubba". 18. Use the word "reckon" in a sentence. 19. "Mash" buttons. "Cut" off lights. "Carry" the kids to school. "Fetch" something. 20. Never simply "do" something. Be "fixin to do" something. 21. Tell them you don't have an accent, they do. 22. Be sure to include "yes/no ma'am/sir" in all conversations.. 23. Only use landmarks and ramble on when giving directions. "Now go down Jeff Davis Highway and turn left at where the Chevron station used to be. I think they turned it into a Amoco. Or maybe a BP. Anyway, turn right there. . ." "You said left." "Did I? Well, turn left there and follow it until you see a big fish on your left. I remember when that fish used to be on the other side of town.." 24. Ask them if it's still snowing up North. Then tell 'em you went driving around in your convertible this weekend. 25. Call 'em a yankee. Works every time.

0:3:1 Had a great day of jumping at Perris. Three really fun sit dives. I'm actually starting to get it. The beer is for my first train sitfly exit. Just a two way, and I hosed the jump when we exited the train, but it was a blast anyway. They say nothing lasts forever. If that's true how do you explain herpes? or the Grateful Dead?

Wow, you all are pretty lucky. We don't have any cool stuff in our office. In fact, the other day I was looking through our meager supply drawer and noticed that we did not have any black pens. I brought this up to the person in charge of ordering supplies and she said, and I quote, "Black pens are no longer on the approved supply list"!?!?! What the HELL?!?! Black pens are not allowed? But blue or red are?!?! Man, what the hell is this world coming to? I really need to get out of this corporate hell.

1:3:2 1 free skydive won in a drawing at a safety seminar (WooHoo) 3 Excellent Skydives 2 Cases owed for first time winning a free skydive and first time holding a sit for a whole skydive

Hmm... only got a 140, will have to work on it.

Do you get to count this one if you just don't have ANY friends, skydiving or not? Crap, I only got an 8. I think I am the lowest scorer so far. I really need to get back in the air and work on this. Soon, so very soon. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

Yup, tonight. Working from memory here, so might not be completely accurate, but there are going to be 2 peak periods. One I beleive is at 11 or 11:30 eastern, the second one is at 5:30 am eastern, 2:30 am pacific. You should be able to find news articles about it easily enough for more info on best viewing conditions, etc... You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

"I would buy the dozen boxes" 3+3+3 = ? This wasn't a math scholarship, was it? HAHAHAHAHA!!! WooHoo, I really pulled a good one there, huh? Actually, the REALLY sad part about this is that yes, I did major in Math. My Koledge edumacation was wurth evry penny. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!

So I'm sitting here doing my wor... Uhhh... reading posts on DZ.com, and all of a sudden someone yells "Get Out! Get Out!" We're all like "what the hell is going on" so we all stand up to see. Turns out that some wiring had gotten crossed, or something, and the surge protectors in four cubicles had blown up. There was fear of a fire, so they were telling us to evacuate the building. Well, since there were no obvious flames or smoke, of course none of us actually started leaving. The fire never really started, just some melted wires and ruined surge protectors. I couldn't help but think, "Damn, if it had just been allowed to start a little bit, we would probably have gotten a few days off for them to do repairs, then it would be off to the dropzone." Oh well, guess I'll just have to wait for the weekend. You come from nothing. You go back to nothing. What have you lost? Nothing!
