  1. Yeah I know how you feel. My first 200 jumps or so was out of an otter. All of the sudden I find my self in Fort Polk LA and jumping at a small dz in texas. My first several exits out of a 182 were just an odd experience. Fun, but a slow climb to alt. and you can't get nearly as many peple in a 182. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  2. I was just talking to a buddy of mine about getting an A license. He kept asking me what he has to do to get it. I told him how much it has changed since back in 2000 when I got mine. I told him to go online and look it up but he is too lazy. So I doubt he will even go ahead with it. But yeah sorry to get off the point. Congrats. I know how much of a bitch it is (at least it apperas that way compared to when I got mine) these days to complete everything required for the A.

    Thanks for the advice. It feels a little overwhelming but I am sure I'll figure it out. Oh and I don't have the canopy here. No way would I do that. Unless of course they would actually take me up in the helos and let me jump. Every time I see one fly by I think of how much of a waste it is. How easy it would be to let me take a little corner till we were over a camp. Eh, oh well. Thanks again I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

    That is really weird that you would say that. I actually am a fueler and running a fssp (fuel system supply point) out here. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.

    Ok here is the deal. I am currently in Iraq. I sold my gear before I left with the intent of having new stuff by the time I got back. I just bought a canopy yesterday. I am trying to figure out what colors I should get for my container (I am going to be buying a Mirage G4) I can't download the program I need for their color chart thing on the Mirage website. So I am kind of at a loss. I really want my gear good to go for when I get back. After all, it's been 9 months already. I still have at least 3 1/2 months before I'll be jumping again. Ok well anyway. Anyone have any suggestions on what colors would go good with this canopy? I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  8. There have been a few times where I jumpd without an altimeter for whatever reason. I just use the people I am jumping with for a refrence when to pull. They pull, I pull. Too easy I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  9. ah ok I was gonna say. I thought you were an LT LT...like the army LT. Wish you were. I wanted to know what it felt like to have your IQ drop all of the sudden. Eh oh well. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  10. I don't know but their is this pizza that I really do love. It's from round table. She says she is going to have one vacume packed and packaged up in dry ice to try and send to me. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  11. So anyway my dad bought me the bose QC3s as an early birthday present. They are good. Damn good. So next time hodgie thinks he is gonna scare me with one of his stoopit little mortars....I'll be rockin out to rise against! HA! I guess I'll know when we are taking incoming though when I see my buddy Liu running around like a chicken with his head cut off (wish I woulda had my video camera for that!)

  12. to do his 5 and 25? I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  13. Well I would read all the other responses but I only have half an hour at a time on the computer. Not to mention the connection is VERY slow. But about the whole pot thing. I really don't think it effects a persons motor skills. Look at the dude that won the gold medal and then tested positive for the stuff. Just goes to show that the government is full of it on this issue. sure pot isn't the best thing in the world but it isn't as bad as it's made out to be. I guess I should add I was a faithful pot head for quite some years but have not been high in over 2 and a half years. Not because I think it's so bad. I just have other priorities I need to take care of first. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  14. oh, no personal judgement taken. whatever they leave the kids, there are 8 of us, is a bonus. my parents are the type that dont like to spend over $4 for a dinner...I keep telling them to spend it, I dont need it. It i too easy to make money in the US. The have finally taken my urge, and are traveling, and setting up college funds for my siblings kids.
  15. what degree might that be? My sister and my gf both have a degree in english. One is working for a court house in orange county and the other works in the SC Jhonson Corporate offices I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  16. definatly sorain over california(they play the theme music to The Last Star Fighter every once in a while while waiting in line). That ride/sim is awesom. Indiana too, great ride. I keep wanting to buy the hat at the gift shop but still have not got my self to do it. I will one of these days. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  17. I had a problem one time. The guy asked me if I was in any way related to DB Cooper. Once I told him "nope" I was on my way. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  18. I don't see how it would be an extreme sport. If you pack carefully every time. Don't go beyond your skill level. Pull at safe altitudes and don't do nothing stoopid while landing I think it isn't so extreme. Now convoying through Iraqi towns while the lead trucks gunner is asleep in the turret...THAT is an extreme sport. (note, I didn't say it was me sleeping on that gun. And in the guys defense...he doesn't even load his gun over half the time anyway so it's not like he could use it if he were awake) I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  19. I had a pc in tow on my 32nd jump. I had spent a few months out due to a snowboarding injury and just wasn't all that fresh in packing. I did have a gear inspection before I jumped but no one caught my mistake. My bridle was misrouted preventing the pin from ever being pulled. I think I had pulled at about 3 thousand. When nothing happend all I could think was "this isn't happening no...this is NOT happening. I figure I must have been in denial for about 5 or 6 seconds because I didn't actually pull my reserve until about 1 thousand. Damn damn damn that was scary. Since then no malfunctions thank god.

  20. well as we would say "let em sink let em sink" and so on and so on. To be honest, I don't understand the grudge between the army and navy. Or what I see a lot more of is the grudge between marines and army. Oh well though. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  21. I have been in one load where we had to do an emergency exit. It was close to full altitude too. I never gave much thought to the ticket price though. I was just happy everyone made it out ok and the pilot landed good on one engine. That was a sound i'll never forget though when the engine crapped out. Sounded like a bunch of silverware going through the garbage disposal. I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  22. I slept on the floor (kinda by choice) for several years before I joined the army. When I went to basic everyone complained about the beds. I was like "wow, I forgot how nice these things were!" I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  23. can't they just take the battery out of the alram or something? Crazy people. I would hate to be in the position. I only have to deal with the occasional mortar from my neighbors. But god help them if they ever have their fire alram go off....oh it will be on...it WILL be on I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  24. trained in the desert of kuwait for ecp. (entry controll point) Was fun shooting at moving targets. Now those camels just need to learn to stay off the range I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
  25. Nope you weren't alone. I would have checked out the video anyway but im in the "bradband" internet cafe in Kuwait. Not very broad if you ask me I may not agree with what you have to say but i'll defend to the death your right to say it.
