Already issued, but not in the mag yet. I think my two way partner has been signing my log book as A -50xxx. I haven't sent in my A license, I figure I will send in for my B as soon as I take the test.

It may be a business, but isn't just any business, and I am not just any customer.

Personally I would refuse the money, and then I would be seeing if there was anything I could do to help.

I dunno what I would tell my 18yo self, but I would tell my 17yo self to have sex with more high school girls.

What makes you think you even could get out at 800 feet if there was a catastrophic failure?? Most drop zones have you belt up until 1.5k. I doubt you are going to make it out, more likely you are going to undo your belt and become a human missile in the event of a crash.

At the navy base I worked at some one had installed a pad lock on their own personal bathroom stall. So I brough a habanero in from my garden and whipped the juice from it all over the combo part of the lock.

Could they run on WVO?

Congrats!

Been using the trick in your sig line?

Substance based assistance is cheating. Rubber bands around the wrist, snap the shit out of yourself when ever you think of having a smoke.

If that doesn't work put the rubber band around your... well never mind.

I figured he was talking about up line of flight. So you exit in a track facing toward the front of the aircraft and you pop up due to the relative wind... pretty cool.

Could you describe tracking "up"?

Good deal man, I am going on a month now.

Must be a business school...

sounds like liberal arts, maybe a school specializing in political 'science'

Family studies...

My business school doesn't fawk around, they grade like Nazis.

I don't want to mention it, but it involved a freshman girl, and an empty classroom.

A lot of chains share the same gift card: Red Lobster could be used at Smokey Bones, could be used at Olive Garden, etc etc

If I was buying new gear I would opt for the larger reserve.

It is normal to find bruises later on in the week, and not have a clue where they came from.

Try to avoid getting into a habit of sliding in on your butt when your landings are less than perfect. It is very easy to damage your tail bone or your back that way. A PLF might not look as pretty, but it is much safer.

Edit: it looks like some one else already mentioned this to you. Congradulations on your first solo jump, it only gets better from here.

Tell them you had a sugar-daddy during that time. But he kicked you out 'cause you wouldn't do "ATM".

ATM... if that is what I think it is, then well, ummm, thats just wrong.

I wonder if she gave him the Tommy Lee HIV!!!

So sue me I didn't check his signature.

Very well. You will be hearing from my attourney.
I'll be seeking damages in the amount of $50,000,000.00

I don't have 50,000,000 but feel free to take over my 50,000 in school loans.

LOL.

College - intro physical science for non-science majors...

Fail them, seriously!!!!

They are adults, they are in college. They should have studied instead of drinking all night before the test.

This is coming from a college student who pays for his own school, and busts his ass. I am a bit tired of of how students get passed through the system with minimal effort and in the end dilute the value of a college degree. College isn't 1/10 as difficult as when our parents were going to school.

Try to get a member of the Ford family to post up on the mustang forum next time you have trouble changing an oil filter.

Unless it IS an emergency all of us A licensed jumpers aren't allowed to being doing anything lower than a 3k hop and pop. Personally I would jump as low as 2k, after that I would be worried about my Pilot 168 sniveling right into the peas.

Different strokes for different folks...

I never knew a 206 even HAD a stall horn until today. I guess that means I fly with a really good pilot

You are missing out... exiting from that strut is a trip. I only have a couple of 182 jumps but they were a blast. Especially the one time that I climbed out way to early and had to crouch down and wait.
