Quoting Ed here: "I want to abolish the position of National Director. Effective boards number 10 to 12 members; USPA’s board is twice that size. Eliminating the eight National Director positions and retaining the 14 Regional Director positions would downsize the board. National Directors have none of the many responsibilities placed upon Regional Directors, and turnover among National Directors is low because they are largely reelected based on name recognition. But being a famous skydiver or well-known DZO doesn’t guarantee they contribute to the board (some do but many don’t). Downsizing to 14 would make the board more efficient and save over $22,000 in board travel expenses each year. " Seems like compelling reasons to me. It would be easy to do since the RDs have the vote.

We have a new USPA National Director that ran on the platform of downsizing the current board from 22 down to 14. I totally support this and I hope Ed Scott is going to make this happen. The paid staff and the 14 elected regional directors are the future of USPA. It is time.

5539 total votes out of over 40 thousand USPA members. The message is clear; most skydivers don't care about USPA.

This mod will help keep the cap from getting snagged. I have seen 3 people lose the caps with a Reflex and all 3 were on the door during exit. Standing up too tall in the door.

I have one, in fact you can have the PC too. The PC is yellow, the cap is purple. I also have a complete Reflex container for sale

Pardon the swamp?

A bit insulting to Sergeant Schultz don't ya think? At least Schultz admitted he knew nothing.

CELEBRATION OF LIFE for our beloved Handsome Dave - June 29, 2019 at Maytown Sport Parachute Club. MSPC is located at Donegal Springs Airpark (N71), 188 Airport Road, Marietta, PA 17356. The celebration will begin at 3:00PM. at 4:00 there will be an ash drop at the Susquehanna River. Transportation will be arranged at MSPC as we will need to carpool. We return to the airport afterwards. Dave is providing the beer and Harvey's Bar-B-Q will be catering. Trudy extends her thanks to all for the well wishes and offers of assistance. ~from The Herd Facebook page

Dave had many "saves" himself and when you multiply that by all the riggers he trained the numbers would be in the thousands. A life well lived.

Wendy: My guess is they looked up S&TA info from the USPA data base. Mark: Can I use that? Ha!

Any body else get one of these? The attorney is from New York Fucking ambulance chasers.

I was 18 and I did it to impress a girl. It didn't work (the girl part) The skydiving part worked great and after I started jumping I didn't care about that girl anymore. I met new girls. Girls that would show their tits in the airplane. Great times! Onward and Upward!

Yes! Simple solution; magnets on the slider stops. Tabs could work as well, similar to slider locks on the risers but sewn on the slider stops instead. This would certainly help to keep the slider in place during the packing process. Onward and Upward!

Ok, sorry. You would know. I was jumping at Ralphs at the time. Onward and Upward!

Jerry, I don't think Sheridan was ever a group member DZ. Ted was personally kicked out of USPA for life. I do not think anyone else has received a harsher penalty from USPA than Ted did. Onward and Upward!

Original Beagle chant; Cock suck-motherfuck, eat a bag of snot. 69 douchebags tied in a knot. Root hang, gang bang, nibble, gobble, chew. We're the Beagle Boogie boys Who the fuck are you? Onward and Upward!

Looking for info on a racer container. Are they still in business? Onward and Upward!

Also, did they ever catch this guy? I hope so. Onward and Upward!

Lavoys not dead, he was never even there. My favorite crackpot theory. This story was during the siege, but clearly it proves he was in southern Utah and not Oregon doing all those press meetings. Ha! http://www.counterpunch.org/2016/01/14/fbi-to-malheur-militia-youre-free-to-travel/ Onward and Upward!

This letter from old man Bundy is really all they need to convict him for conspiracy in the Malhuer standoff. In addition to the charges from the previous standoff at Bunkerville. A common trait with these militia types is this unfounded belief that a notary has some sort of special power. In this case the letter to the Sheriff, the Governor, and the President being notarized only proves that he signed it with witnesses. http://www.nydailynews.com/news/national/cliven-bundy-calls-oregon-refuge-occupation-continue-article-1.2517584 Onward and Upward!

These guys have to be the dumbest criminals in the world. They record their crimes and put the videos on Facebook and youtube. It's like taking your go-pro to the bank robbery and bragging about it later. The old man announced on Facebook he was going to Oregon. What did he think was going to happen? I thought they might try to pick him up when he went to the funeral in Utah but he was traveling with his "posse" and they did not want another highway confrontation. He flew to PDX thinking he was still above the law. These idiots still have no idea how much trouble they are in. Onward and Upward!

I am so mad those rotten assholes did this to us. And for what? Nothing, absolutely nothing. They invaded Oregon unwanted and tore a small town apart. One man is dead and the rest of the gang is in jail. Are you proud of yourselves now? Stupid fucking idiots. They gave up the right to citizenship when they turned their guns on their own country and the good men and women of Harney county. They are not patriots, they are traitors and low life scumbags. Fuck them. http://www.msn.com/en-us/news/us/oregon-town-torn-apart-by-protest-at-wildlife-refuge/ar-BBoSuqh?ocid=spartanntp Onward and Upward!

And this http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/as_oregon_standoff_drags_on_ee.html#incart_maj-story-1 Wow, just fucking wow! I wanted these dorks to go to jail but now I am thinking straight jackets and padded rooms. Onward and Upward!

The meatheads trashed the place. The outside views from the air are even worse. Worthless dirtbags. http://www.oregonlive.com/oregon-standoff/2016/01/remaining_occupier_tours_refug.html#incart_river_index_topics Onward and Upward!
