Look for lotramin. Lotramin Ultra. It is a cream. Apply it after the shower/bath - twice a day. Use Comet, bleach, and Pine Sol. Ventilate when combining the above cleaners for your safety. I am a Nurse. Lotramin Ultra is the best otc topical anti-fungal out there. Use the mentioned cleaners COMBINED at your own risk. Bleach the shower, bathroom floor, and tub. Don't laugh, you could EAT off my toilet seat......... _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Agreed. Peace I serve for personal reasons. I save lives to save myself. My day begins when yours is about to end. Your peace and survival are my reward and thanks. Someone has to watch the wall, right? Sleep well, my friend - for there are rough men ready to do violence on your behalf. _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Well done! Point is you kept at it. That is the attitude to have. You got what it takes - alot of people can't push through the way you did. That really counts for something..... _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

I am truly honored. I don't feel like one yet, though. I want to jump out of the plane on my own - maybe I will feel like one then. I still have the 'training wheels on'. I have nothing but the best things to say about my AFF instructors. My next tattoo will be skydiving related......... _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Same here. Actually, I'll be 19 on September 24. I called a dropzone the other day to talk with an instructor about my options for getting licensed. After a few minutes of discussing things, he asked how old I was and stopped in his tracks when I answered, saying "Oh... wow... you're a young'n." I feel fortunate to have started early in the sport. Hopefully that means I've got a long life of skydiving ahead of me. Tim Your sig.

I started 3 weeks before I turned 33. The voices in my head told me to do it........... _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Yea, that, exactly! Hard to put it onto words, huh? Good that you jumped and want to do it again. I felt the same way. I started out doing the AFF. I am halfway through now. I am only kicking myself for not doing it sooner.......but that won't last long. _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

DZ is an hours drive away......5 miles is hard enough - I only run that far ONCE a week, and I do it slowly........ _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

I am having the same problem ---I need to run about 5 miles, but I am sitting here - I just have to know more stuff about skydiving - AND the people that do it! _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Uh, noob here with dumb question ---- Is this required? When I took my clothes off for the first time in front of my wife, she asked me, "Who in the hell are you going to please with THAT?!?" I said, "Myself!"

Life is 100% FATAL, braw. Live it like every day is your last. Tell the ones that you love how you feel. Ask her (or him) out. Take that chance.

All I say is that I took up skydiving and the number of jumps comes up. I guess you could call me a "single digit midget"! _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

I need to take more pics of my dogs.... This is of Buddy trying out my fart sack (sleeping bag) before I deployed to Iraq. I love this pic... _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

I have been lurking for a few weeks now, looking around, posting evil sigs and stirring up things. Thought I would say thank you for letting me be apart of this community and feeling welcome. I am an Army Nurse (enlisted, thank you) I have 9 years in. I returned from Iraq back in Jan. Shortly thereafter, the wife left - was involved with another guy while I was deployed. It is all good, no sympathy, please. Which lead to me skydive. Always wanted to do it. I have 4 jumps inot the AFF, got Cat D1 up next. I am having the time of my life - and I get to hang around other adrenaline junkies! I am 33, I have 2 dogs (bassett hounds, Buddy and Lady) love them both dearly. I attached a few pics so you could put a face to the name.

This hurts my heart. 1) I genuinely feel for the woman. I cannot judge what or why she is doing. This is her way of dealing with it. Before we judge os want to make a comment, we should put ourselves in her shoes - most of us cannot begin to comprehend what she may be going through. 2) I was over there. I watched too many American Soldiers, Marines - Hell, too many Human Beings - die. I held hands, I turned off ventilators, I ran morphine, I listened to the screams, I slipped on the pools of blood, I sat in silence with the living as they talked about their friends getting killed not more than a couple hours ago. I SIGNED UP and I understand and accept the risk- If my country's government sends me into battle, I will go. I will care for ALL those in need. Being a Medic, Nurse, Leader is all I ever want to do. 3) I also saved the lives of insurgents and terrorists. If they were not killed in the firefight, they got to us. We did not look at 'bad guy' 'good guy' - we treated everything that came through our doors. 4) I ran into a patient that came through my ICU - head trauma, leg blown off - real bad off. His head was the size of a basketball when we flew him to Germany and he was not breathing on his own - He was here passing through with his family. It took everything I had not to cry while they hugged me and thanked me for what I did. Funny, I forget many of the names, but I remembered his. It was 9 months since he was wounded - and he had just recently re-learned to write his name..... I feel for this woman. (please, I am not looking for any attention or sympathy, I just wanted to share - life is good, I started skydiving) _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

MOst of the time, I feel mundane, just an average joe doing an honest 20 in the Army. Upside, just one that comes to mind - I get to save lives for a living. Lately I have not been presented with the situation, but when it does come around and we 'save one' it is the most rewarding thing I have ever felt. In Iraq we did it ona daily basis. Soldiers made it home alive to their loved ones because of what we did. Priceless. Cool that you get to marry people, that HAS to be cool! _________________________________________ Twin Otter N203-Echo,29 July 2006 Cessna P206 N2537X, 19 April 2008 Blue Skies Forever

Ok, I have 4 jumps into what will hopefully be a long skydiving experience. I passed each AFF so far. When would it be acceptable to refer to myself as a 'skydiver'? I see that I will still be a noob for a while, but being a noob is not the bad thing in skydiving like it is in so many other things. Every other hobbie I have taken up, from long distance rifle to riding motorcycles, noob has had a negative stigma. In skydiving it is ok to be 'the new guy', people take the time to treat me like 'one of the crew' and are patient answering all my questions. That, IMO is the best part - and I get to jump with these great people! I was just wondering at what point do you stop being a Whuffo (used affectionately) and become a Skydiver?
