How about being in a C182 for 20 minutes so you can freefall for 30 seconds? I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Have you been or are you in the Military?? Branch? Rank? Time?

It was those unexpected KA_WHUMPS you could hear walking towards the base in the middle of the night that I found particularly irritating - especially during Tet in 1968. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. -

USAF 66-70 Sgt (E-4) Spent two Christmases in a row at beautiful Tuy Hoa AB, South Vietnam. Got to spend four months in Brasilia, Brazil, later - kinda made up for the SE Asia vacation. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. -

In my opinion, range is one of the biggest drawbacks to electrics. Currently in my career I travel a great deal with a SUV loaded with spare parts, tools, etc. I may drive (at 75mph) for 10-12 hours. An electric will have to perform comparably for me to consider. That includes quick recharges (I now stop for no more than 15 minutes for a refill). So, logistically, we have a long way to go before those in careers like mine will realistically look at EVs. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

I think it is 7 alphanumeric characters - at least here in Kansas it is. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Deer, my dear. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

That is exactly where I am. We did shoot some video but it isn't real clear there what is wrong - instructor says legs aren't that bad, but may be the problem. I have decided that I will get to Orlando before my DZ reopens in January. I think that would be my wisest move. Thanks for the advice. I think another problem is that I am having trouble relaxing in the air now that I am spinning - just compounds the problem. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

You too, huh? I have now made 8 AFP jumps and did ok on my first release dive. However, every jump since I have gone into a bad right hand spin. My last jump I was really uptight when the instructor let go of me and I told her after I landed that I wasn't going to jump again until I got some tunnel time. The spin doesn't scare me so much as the fact that I don't know what to do to stop it. I will learn how to get stable because I have already become so hooked on this sport that I can't see myself not skydiving. I have no problems so far with the canopy part (I have stood my last two and have landed almost exactly where I was intending to). The good news is that I was just told today that I will see an extra $750 in my next paycheck (net). Now all I have to do is figure out how to get to Orlando.

:4:0 Progressing a little in AFP, but having severe spin problems. Videoed the last jump and may have the solution. I do have a problem relaxing. Stood my first landing - DZ says I don't owe beer till I get through student status. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Never ask an old paratrooper how many jumps he has

A friend of mine is Canadian. We spent five months on a project in Germany. From all the stories he told me, he will be remembering Dunkirk. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. -

seedy replied to jdfreefly's topic in The Bonfire
Met an old paratrooper once and asked him that question. He told me he never did jump. I asked how you could be a paratrooper and never jump. He told me, "Never jumped once. They had to throw my butt out every time!" I intend to live forever -- so far, so good. -

ROFL I'll have to remember this the next time someone uses that on me. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

That's a pretty broad statement. Can you support it with data? I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

I don't think quite all democrats are like this, but it does describe some liberals rather well. The only thing I think you need to change is that : 19 Being a movie or television star qualifies you to be and authority on public policy and life in general.

It is funny, but in my opinion it is an altered photo. If you look closely at his left hand you can see the semi-circular mark where the lens cap should be and also if you look at the soldier to his left, you can see signs around the lens cap that indicate pasting.

I don't like it when people desecrate the flag of my country, but I am damn thankful to live in a country where they have the freedom and the protected right to do that if that is their choice. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

Losing those we love is terribly hard. My condolences and prayers are with you and her family. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.

I have a touch of arthritis in my fingers that only bother me in cooler weather, but the way the toggles are made, you use your hand, not your fingers anyway. I think any person of normal strength would have no problem with canopy control. I intend to live forever -- so far, so good.
