Access Control List What does the "U" stand for?

Here is my beautiful rig.

I think that is the size of the harness Mine is a J1 C17

I resolve to do at least 300 jumps or more hopefully more other then that I cant think of anything else

That sounds pretty typical. Except that a majority of them would not even let their daughter date anyone that is not a Jehovah's Witness or working to become one

I think the type of people that become Jehovah Witness's are very insecure and are generally strange to begin with. Not to say that my Mom is strange but she is insecure to a degree.

That is odd. I have never heard of any restrictions like the water fountain and cafeteria food. Must be a personal issue with the parents, because that isnt something that they preach in their books. I grew up with school cafeteria food. My Mom was baptized when I was 6 yrs old. I actually went to doors with my Mom and others in the congregation. Not proud of it.

my Mom occaisonally will try to get me to go to their meetings. I tell they would try to get me to stop skydiving and that isnt going to happen. NO religion will ever get between me and skydiving. They would say that it is needlessly endangering my life and God/Jehovah would not approve of that. So there will never be any Skydiver/Jehovah's Witness's around.

He is full of shit. There are no dietary restrictions, other then drink in moderation. Dont get drunk and no drugs or smoking/chewing tobacco. Its okay to drink alcohol. Just dont go to a bar because it doesnt "look good". If you are a part of a congergation you have to live by their collective concience. (not sure of spelling). Your boss doesnt eat those food because of his own reasons, nothing to do with JW's

profanity would get you disfellowshipped just tell an elder to fuk off elder is what the refer to their head preachers

Yeah Disfellowshipped people are ones that broke a major rule and everyone who is a Jehovah's Witness is banned from having anything to do with them at all. Even speaking to them. Unless the have to work with them. Then only as long as it has to do with work. That is the quickest way to get them to leave you alone. My mother is a Jehovah's Witness. I told her when I was 14 that there was no way in hell that I would ever get baptized as a Jehovah's Witness. She promptly kicked me out to live with my Dad.

exactly just as billvon said. I totally agree with that

to elaborate on my previous post. I will never get an AAD of any brand and feel like Aggiedave does about them. It should be up to the individual whether or not they feel they should have one.

I guess I will never jump at Skydive San Diego. Sorry you feel that way about cypres's

I just disagree that watching scary movies has anything remotely to do with risking your life or facing innate fears such as the fear of falling. They just dont compare. I have met people that love to watch scary movies but would never consider skydiving or anything that would put them at risk of dying.

they are getting pretty loud, If I dont get some altitude soon I am going to have to shoot a couple of them. Pray for blue skys for Dallas, TX so far I have only repacked my main twice today OHHH the insanity

school loan and credit card luckily I found a great deal on a very little used talon and tempo 150 reserve and a pd 9cell 150 next rig was payed for mostly by a 3k bonus from work

I highly recommend all of the John Sanford "Prey" books. Just bought his latest Mortal Prey. Very good books. Or Ender's Game and sequel's by Orson Scott Card

I was on one of those CREW jumps. It was my first. It was definetly a great weekend. Great jumping with you.

Did my first CRW today 4 stack and full rotation and almost a second CRW is really wild. I cant stop smiling. It was really cool.

I never gave much thought to doing CRW till yesterday. After a long day of jumping I was packing my gear up when one of the local CReW dogs was trying to get people to try some CRW and asked if I would give it a try. Well who was I to say no? Did a four stack and rotation, almost a second rotation. sweeet I am still smiling.

I currently have 115 jumps and dont have a cypres so I really dont see why you wouldnt jump with out one. I dont worry about getting knocked unconcious or for some other reason not being able to pull my reserve. I dont mind risking my life. I personally feel the amount of risk without a cypres is acceptable and that is what it all comes down to. What is acceptable risk to you, not what someone else considers acceptable. If you jump with a cypres the risk of death is less then if you jump with out one. How much less depends on who you talk to. Its up to you and how much risk you are willing to take.

Did 5 jumps Sat all with my new Havok. It is great! took me a little bit to get used to having a full face helmet. I was doing mostly sitflying and stand. Had no problem at all with it. Just had trouble hearing the Audible. Might just need new batteries in it. If that doesnt work I will probably mount it inside the helmet.

Some times I think that there are things that I would have done differently, but then I realize that those things along with all the good things make me who I am. How I reacted to the circumstances and the decisions that I made as a result of them, good and bad, are who I am. I dont want be some one else. I like me with all of faults and all of the good things. If I changed everything then I wouldnt be me. Dont get me wrong there are alot of faults that I work on changing about myself but the struggle to better myself is also a part of who I am. I wouldnt change a thing.

Just got my Havok in and so far I like the way it fits no pressure on my glasses at all. The way the front shield locks down I dont think there is much of a chance of it flying up during any type of dive. It feels really secure. Cant wait to try it out
