***Today, I'm really glad I did that, because I just got through talking to my boss at my old job about the possibility of doing some contract work for them on a short-term basis *** I got laid off in September. They closed my office and 3 others around the country. I had been with the company for a little over 15 years, but had heard rumors of them closing our office for the past 2 so I had mentally prepared myself and since I had been there so long, I was just waiting for my severance package. I really really wanted to send out a few f-You email before I left, but didn't because company could be a good place to work if the right management is in place. I just started working for them again as in independent contractor actually closing up the office. Nothing had been touched in the office since they "separated" us from the company September 17th. I approached them with the idea and they agreed since I was a good trustworthy employee. Heck, I went and picked up the HR (grim ripper) lady at her hotel, because I was asked by a person I worked for before I moved to a branch, so we could get it over with and go to the bar. Definately not good to burn bridges, as tempting it and immediately gratifying it may be. Good luck with the job hunt. Judy anyone need any office supplies?

Rehmwa- didn't the Viking and a few other places go out of business because of the smoking ban? Maybe places are busy because there are less of them. Yes, I smoke but I prefer to go outside and away from others to light up. Judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

I usually print my ballot off the website and make copies for the dz. When people ask about voting I spend more time with them making sure their ballot is filled out correctly than i do pushing any particular candidate. I usually have a ballot highlighted in the areas (not candidates) that they MUST fill out in order for their vote to be valid (name, signature, USPA#). Maybe they should just require a pen color other than black. I realize with color copier this might not be the best idea, but is somewhat better than relying on the post office to deliver my parachutist intact. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

oh geez. I hope I didn't come of as being defensive with you. That was not my intention at all. I was just pointing out that their information is incorrect and no one from either side even called. In other words, people didn't do their jobs. My husband is no longer on the bod and I thank god every day for that. Unless you are on the EC, you really don't count. The EC will change anything they want to at pretty much any time. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Chris Welker was the Southern Regional Director. Mike Mullins in a National Director. Mike and another jumper are the ones that opened Tullahoma. Mike was never a regional director. After the first weekend Tullahoma opened, was when they figured out "someone" had "stole" Chris Martin's 800#. The only reason some have joined the GM program was to not have to pay multiple times if you have more than one ratings course throughout the year. Probably about 5-6 years ago we attended the USPA meeting. We went to try to get the GM program removed because we wanted to have a AFF course at our dz and Glenn, who was just an employee at the time, told us no way would it ever happen. We went to fight for it. We won the battle but lost the war. We had support from several board members, including Don Yarling, may he rest in peace. Don was pretty much the "head of the AFF program at that time. He explained how he has held courses, in hotels, and venues, which were not USPA GM DZ's. We got our ratings course, BUT at the next meeting they impleminted an "extortion" fee for non-GM dz that want to hold a ratings course. Apparently, according the USPA, ratings course are NOT for the individual skydiver, but for the DZ's. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

***Additionally, the southern regional director of the USPA manages a drop zone in Tennessee, which is a Group Member of the USPA. Prior to the membership termination notice received by ASC, Plaintiffs were in negotiations with an airport for a drop zone location that would have been in commercial proximity to the drop zone managed by the southern regional director . *** THIS IS INCORRECT. The past Southern regional director never managed any dz in Tennessee. I should know, I'm married to him. Again, no due diligence was done on the part of USPA lawyers. The Exec Committee should be embarassed and ashamed and if they had any sort of decency left in them, they would step down now! j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Maybe that's not the reason. Maybe it's cause he said he only wears black. I was actually a little disappointed when he shunned the red, white and blue idea. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

My USPA # is 121666. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Actually there is plenty of case law stating exactly the opposite. Statements on the internet are real and carry real consequences civilly and criminally. How do they prove who actually typed it and if they weren't under the influence of something? Not to mention that the USPA attornies didn't do their due dilligence. We need to fire whoever hired them! J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Could they even legally do that since she is an elected by us, the members, without disclosing the terms of the settlement? When they impeached Clinton, we all knew why. I don't know, just curious. judy Who runs Bardertown?

the evidence is gone the uspa shredded the link to e-mail the full board. If not wanting to hear from the members is not the reason, what is? Source: Me Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

How do we know that Jan isn't a crazy glue sniffer or a crabperson? I don't understand how any court in America would allow somewhat anonymous postings on an internet forum as evidence. Look at all the drunk ramblings in bonfire and other forums, how serious can you really take most of what you see on internet forums. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

no, but joined when he had the last ratings course or something like that. judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

because we lost. okay then, we will hold them all accountable. You might want to tell some presidents that. Have you ever been to a USPA board meeting? judy Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Well, lets see....First we LOST the suit with skyride and if I recall correctly Glenn's visit the Pennridge dz didn't help the situation out any. Glenn is the president of the USPA executive committee. I hold him accountable. J Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Regardless of the outcome, I'd like to know which way each board member votes. Me too! Unfortunately if they do impeach Jan, we will probably never know because she is the one of only Board members that will answer those questions when asked and call out those that don't always tell the truth about how they really voted. I would like to see Glenn Bangs impeached for his mishandling of the skyride issue. A request to add the impeachment of Glenn to the Agenda has been sent to Sherry Butcher, the Secretary of the USPA executive board. Can't wait to see was we are going to be told as to why Glenn can't/shouldn't/won't be impeached. Oh wait, they don't care what the members want.

What size are you looking at and what would your wing loading be? Without knowing the wingloading I can't say if I would think it was a good idea or not. (what size and how much do they want?) Personally, I love my Nitro. The black lines seem to draw alot of attention.

I thought for sure it was going to be a Life Flight T-shirt. They usually run around $7 grand. Glad to see its not.

Just tell them the check's in the mail. When I get any call where I know its someone wanting to sell me something I just answer the phone "Pizza Hut. Will this be for carry-out or delivery?"

yet amazingly how many millions of visitors managed to see this tiger without getting mauled? And of those millions this was the first kid to tease the animal? Please. And as yet NO EVIDENCE of teasing or taunting. but a shoeprint was found on the railing of the fence surrounding the enclosure, and police are checking it against the shoes of the three victims. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.

Go to USPA.org and download the SIM. On page 108 you will find the recurrency requirements for each license. Now, IMO, yes, I guess it can be done safely jumping every 2-3 months, but I don't recommend it. I see the "casual" jumpers you are referring to but most come out at least once a month, not every 2-3 months.

I can understand going for the kid. I go with my mom when I can get home for christmas. She knows how I feel about organized religion, but if it makes my mom happy, I don't mind going to church. I think I actually pay more attention now that I did when I was kid going every week. j Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
