sooo you dont follow anyone out of the plane when the door is open? I've been "spotted" by at least 6 other skydivers while traveling around the planet for work. in some very strange places... that and the fact i like it. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

and she rocks! heya how about you take my job and i'll jump as much as she does.. Z has a serious case of jump envy believe me as soon as i can reasonable afford to do so i'm quiting too..work sucks.. but then i remember as one of my friend said "if i werent jumpng with you today i wouldnt eb jumping" so... its all about trade offs and right now i trade my time for the time it takes to jump as much as i want when i have time to do so. ps. i can open a Skvan door too! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

the red one? it was pretty sweet and you cant beat the price. looks like i'll be wandering the countryside (better than being bored) dodging crazy korea drivers. I'm in 207 or just leave a message here if im not around..work hours could get weird. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

nah we had to throw him back, he wasnt over the legal limit. but i'm sure we owe more beer for something or another.. (drinking the bar out of franzikaners? do we owe beer for drinking beer?) -------- all work and no sky makes Z a dull boy.. -------- ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

arggg began drinking WAY to early..then get dragged to bars with all the Wuffos i work with.. at least 3 redheaded juicies here...argg going to be a long three weeks, and i'm amped again just talking about skydiving while we were hangin.. dude i dont know how you survived but..you'll be n the air again sooner than i.. lucky S$^#T*%G seeyas in Eloy or Jean or some where in between the earth and the clouds..

okay i'm blind or no ones started this yet so... 1 (number of slugs found in the meal during breakfast/lunch with jtval):0:0 sigh.. no jumps whilist in korea (aka "the land of not quite right") at least the grey skies dont remind me so much that i'm not flying, but some days when the sun shines...wow. i couldnt hang, JT has amazing self restraint, i think i would have already thrown myself off the Seoul tower, just for the 10 sec of freefall.... Q; do we owe beer for the slug or only if we ate it? :p ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

yup e even discussed how some of these (the 2 cadetshappened like 3 years ago.) are WAY old... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

grrr..oh well woke up late any way. hitting the road now, i'd rather watch it rain at the DZ than hang out anywhere near work.. :) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

nah just set up a boothor something, we'll form the line

would be nice..need to get as many jumps in as possible Mon/Tues before i go to "the land of not quite right" and have a beer with JT. havent made a first load yet. 2nd quite often but... of course they warn me that 1s load always lands out so... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

lol..no that was me.. definatly male. lurking on the forums till sleep claims me and i can dream of first load in the moring... seriously though the weekends at Eloy have the most amazing women wandering around... ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

come to Eloy! the sights are simply amazing. of course there are so many legitimate skygods running around that peons like me are invisible. and i'm not used to being invisible ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

whoops! have to add 1 to the beer owed column. my roommate just showed me my A license number is in this months Parachutist and hopefully my C will be in soon ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

just wishful thinking. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

actually i was wondering how long it takes for the "hook scars" to heal ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

ok now i'm frightened

72 (# of hours I was slave to the man):0:0 the Mojave really sucks. but i did get to watch the 18th AB corps drop 800 soldiers into bicycle lake at 2am under a full moon. (no fatalities and very few (8 IIRC) minor injuries) fortunately my weekend now starts on Mon/Tues. first load 0700 wheeeeee! ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

indeed they were. Army cadets. but then, we dont really need anymore "dots" now do we? 2 of the top 10 most dangerous things you'll ever here in the army 2nd Lt.

well the packing class IS a requirement for your A. and i do on occasion pack. but not when i can afford to support someone else, AND get more jumps in during the day because of it. Sure i would LOVE to quit this often annoying, but its what gives me the cash to do 12-15 jumps on the occasional weekends when i'm not bouncing around the planet... (and sometimes when i am) ps. you should see that grrl Betsy mentioned pack, never bends her knees such a WONDERFUL sight to see when wandering back into the hanger ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

nope i was 24 when i did and stil had a blast. (out running 18 year olds is FUN!) the biggest problem for me was dealing with the "children" (of all ages) who couldnt/wouldnt get their act together. that and the fact that the military (army) at least tends to treat rank as a measure of maturity, and that taks time to break with every new leadership change.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

1(number of crappy weather days at eloy):9:1 first (and possibly last unless i have no other choice) king air jump. damn that door is tiny and the tail is awful scary for someone my height. (6'4) no hair cut nessesary this weekend thanks! (joke) ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

2-4 times depending on what i'm working on.. one of my late jumps last weekend we wnet out at 15kish and i looked at my alti thinking i was getting close only to discover I still had 7K!! hmm ok lets flail in this pseudo sit some more you know i was wishing for that since my first AFF, been talking to the "real" engineers i work with about it, but at the momment the costs would keep it out of your averager skydivers hands. best/cheapest route i've found so far would be something basic like a color coded addition for an audible, that wouldnt be so difficult, but not so useful either... :( ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

that was actually a guideline at some point?!? yeeks, thats like 1/2 count after Airspeed exits.. ____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.
