    Mid thirties, 40 at most . Did I mention he served in the navy? At least thats what he said today. It seems on his first jump he was a tad concerned so his navy seal buddy pushed him out and then caught up to him during free fall. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

    I'm curious as to why they always pick a round canopy. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

    Time for a good laugh. I'm sure you have heard similar stories. We have a new manager at my work, I'm guessing mid thirties. Sitting in the break room and one of the girls came in. She knows I jump and she said "I want to do a tandem". Well our new fearless leader began talking about his jumping. I have been listening to my instructor and apparently hes wrong on everything. You only have to bend your knees to land a round canopy, none of that silly PLF stuff. If you do a water landing, at 150 feet above the water you just hit that button on your chest and you fall out of the harness so you wont get tangled in the lines on impact. I asked where he jumps, his friend has a cessna 150 and they don't go to airports because they like to jump from 18,000 or 20,000 and thats against the rules. No one ever told him I jump.

  10. on May 12, 2011 on the Lakota ranch a rare white buffalo was born. Both he and his mother were killed. There are rumors of them being skinned but no ones verifying this. The ranch is in my home town. http://beforeitsnews.com/story/2100/533/Lakota_Ranch_Statement_On_Killing_Of_Sacred_White_Buffalo.html Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

  15. I did not serve. But I'm not that stupid. He did show definite signs of stupidity. I support free speech but he has a definite problem. He was expecting a different out come than what he got? Hes not in Leavenworth so he should be happy. He like you and others took am oath. He chose to break that oath, he wasn't forced to break it. How he can cry over this is beyond me, he broke three parts of his oath. A-he said he wouldn't obey the presidents orders. B-he did not stop when he was ordered to do so. C-he broke the Uniform Code of Military Justice. Maybe I look at things a tad simpler than some civilians do, but he was given chances to stop so he got exactly what he asked for. if you poke at a snake long enough he will bite. He defiantly poked once to often. To ones that did or are serving, THANK YOU. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

    Just wrong

    I think most of the pigs were from Russia, been here many generations. So they are far from Feral any hog will go Feral if hes released and it happens in two generations. Big tusks and all, if they want to see what a real feral hog is i'll be happy to show them. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

  18. I'm doing SL as well but from a 182 which is a lot easier. If im wrong someone correct me but i found that if you keep your eyes on the wing of the plane it helps. Instructor told me too, it helped a lot. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
  19. ok i'm guilty of looking at altimeter way to often i bet. But on side note my landings are a lot more important than being cool in free fall, done had a hard one and it sucked. I have no intention of ever down sizing, i'm way to old to worry about the looking cool factor. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

    Link is a movie of them building them in the factory. Once a year they have a Ducati festival, I have been twice. Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”

    Not sure how many of you love them. But theres a cool documentary on their factory. I've owned three and seriously wanting another one. http://www.putlocker.com/file/7200FEF05205EC3A# Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

  22. LOL I wasn't saying her dislike of him was bad in any way. If you read the transcripts Nixon was really the only thing she bashed repeatedly. She really never bashed America as a whole, just the leadership. She did admit that some things she said and did were inappropriate, but thats still a far cry from from hating America.

  23. If anyone is interested her broadcasts are a matter of congressional records. Feel free to read them, I enclosed the link. I'm not sure she can be called anti American but she was defiantly anti Nixon in every respect. She was wrong on a few of her ideas, mainly POWS. Any way make up your own mind. http://www.wintersoldier.com/index.php?topic=FondaHanoi Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure.

  24. Is there a rule for swooping? I mean like your supposed to have 200 jumps to wear a camera, is there a set jump number to swoop? Avoiding danger is no safer in the long run than outright exposure. Life is either a daring adventure, or nothing.”
  25. No I didn't mean that Bush did it. I was just saying that bin laden had on occasion denied it(to my understanding). I haven't researched it and see no real reason to now. I'll shut up now.
