i would have hem give you the cash for a full sized replacment...thats a new rig

I hear ya like i posted else where 4 of the last 8 years have been in the sandbox.

8 years ago i was in basic training learning M.O.U.T when we heard of the news. First time we were allowed to listen to a radio in weeks, wasnt really what i wanted to hear. Since then i have spent 4 of the 8 years deployed, we here will never forget why were here.

nice i think i went in this with the same mindset as billy this is great

I know that by not interacting with others i am dangerously shorthanding any knowledge i am able to obtain. The thing is i like the group and the DZ i jump and taking leasons at i just feel like im being more of a hinderance to them than anything. I don get to spend enough time there since every few years like now i get deployed overseas and any commonality or "friendship" i build seems to be lost by the time i get back. Now when i get back ill have 3 months to finish my training before i enter active duty military again (i love my career) and i really fear that if i am unable to do this before ileave i will never complete training. Im sure eventually ill find a DZ that i will relate to more but im not much of a traveler, to be honest if it wasnt for the military i would have never left WI. So i htink im just in slump right now and need to suck it up and drive on.

So i have come to the conclusion that skydiving is the best thing man (the race not sex) has stumbled upon and i hope to learn the most i can of the sport before im old and broken (somewhere at the age of 90 or so). The thing is though i cant get enough of the sport i dont think ill fit in with the social group, since for me it takes time to open up to people and relax my brain when it has a goal it focuses on that and nothing else until complete then it wants to improve the efficiency and use of everything, which i then tend to alienate everyone. Also the DZ i go to i feel welcomed but with mixed feelings like people there just tolerate me being there but i get the feeling that im more of an inconvinience to them since i am unable to spend the time i want to there. Anyway like i sayed its just been a crappy day and i had these things on my mind and felt like i should vent them. Thanks for tolerating my bitch session.

Isnt it ovious....A student is sueing the DZ because there cheating wife got herpes from her boyfriend at the boogie. Well thats what i take from it at least.

Its this simple...

MMM i love this place. where i siting at? im on the VBC i would say exactly but you know the whole OPSEC thing lol.

The Afghan war was the direct result of 9/11 and was pretty much everyone's choice. If GWB hadn't lost focus and gone off on his silly deceptive tangent in Iraq, we wouldn't be having such a tough time in Afghanistan now. were only haveing a tough time in Afghanistan is because were to worried on what people will think of us and not letting the soliers do there job the wayits men to be done. Theres so many restrictions and regulations now its like we agreed to have a handycap so the other side has more of a fighting chance.

I love how these things turn into fingure pointing on both sides lol. ALL politics have become currupt no matter what side you like. Theyll each say what we all want to hear at that time then when there in power they just do whatever they want with no regard to anyone but there checkbook. Thats why i say....VOTE FOR ME 2020!!!!!

when i thought i was in love was 17 got married at 18 divorced at 21. met my current wife that year dated 5 years got married in April of 2009

Im not saying its OK to use it im just saying that there is ALOT worse things out there that people have and will more than likley continue to use. The thought and feeling of you drowning will convince you to "spill the beans" just because you think once you talk theyll stop. Again im not saying we should ever use it. Oh and yes i was there for "smoking" detainees its nothing bad it happens to ALL US soldiers you just do exersizes nothing more, you are allowed to drink water during the session so theres nothing being deprived. Honostly some of them definetly needed to do some PT

Im not sure if im putting this in the right place or even if this question has been asked and im just a "special" needs person here, but i was wondering how i get an avatar on my profile?

I guess it would depend on the method being used in 2003 we often "smoked" (army term for exercize) detainees for info, basically we would make them do jumping jakes, push ups stuff like that. To people like us thats n big deal but they called it "torture" since they werent used to exercize. Stuff like waterboarding is a step up but not bad, its when you get into things that cause pain and damage to the person is when you get loads of useless info and shouldnt be used since nothing can be reliable.

1. 10 min 2. Havent had the pleasure yet 3. country (makes videos kinda boring for others) 4. lol yeah :) 5. yes and have 4 lil rats 6. i wear my 82nd AIR ballcap 7. Beer mmmm beer 8. sometimes 9. none so far *knocks on wood* 10. PC 11. definitly a smart ass

I lived on those for months during the invasion i more or less became a gourmet cheif (cant spell) with the good ol' Mr. E

i would gladly go back to 2003 chow with MRE's and T-rats im just sick of the same food day in and day out. hell i can give you the menu for the next 6 months right now lol

Like stated before its our call on to continue or not. I would say don let your first jump determine anything unless yo were doing summersults and tangled in the line barly making it alive, then i would say maybe rethink it. as i can tell you had te normal jiders, i mean really the body KNOWS that falling is bad so it tells you to rethink. i would say give it another shot and just consitrate youve done it once why not again??

couldnt have biffed it better if he hit the hospital parking lot lol

New guy here....im going to have to agree here cause from what i have seen there are posts that show that there is people that are viewing standard skydiving as a bump to what they want to do ie:freefly, wingsuit whatever. but as i have seen for the most part all the good discusions go un-noticed because the once that ask for a "fast way" to something else catch the attention (which they should) of the experts. thankfully the experienced peeps here are whilling to get on those "fast way" posts and advise people of the risks before they get hurt or hurt someone else. i know as myself i know im only a student and i have alot of time for belly down, but even after AFF is complete i am in no hurry to start freeflying, wingsuiting or anything until i get more experience with my belly. i do admit i would like to learn how to fly with cam but i will definetly go slow and learn from better peoples teachings way before i try myself.

i got Army chow...but for some wiered reason im in the middle of a huge sandbox and have seen more sea food here than anything. man im so sick of fricken fish.

I hear ya on that man...and the bigest GK insident ive heard about is when the 2 men colid when there tracking paths, killed one man and messed u the other one bad.

i dont have much experience but i do know that when i jump the student open face helmets i wear a MED i bought a Z1 and had to get an XL and it fits snug but comfy.

I was waiting on you to say that you supplied most of the weapons for the movie Commando.. Everybody knows a frag grenade works much better than an sks for home defense. Self defense is no laughing matter, that's why I pack a hand grenade... accept no substitutes.. Frags hmmm i dont have those i also dont have claymores or C4. man i love being a range NCOIC
