quade 4 #4 June 11, 2007 By some accounts, I am at least of average intelligence. I'm fair skinned. SoCal has been my berth on this ship going 'round the Sun nearly 50 times so far. I've battled skin cancer several times and so far have won, but know that it will eventually get me again. Even with all that, I occasionally forget to put on the sun screen and get a little tingly. I hate myself when I let it get that far.quade - The World's Most Boring Skydiver Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
TheAnvil 0 #5 June 11, 2007 I was helping out my friend Annette laying out an underwater navigation course a couple of weeks ago for some Advanced Open Water students. I put on this non-name brand sunscreen that was supposedly waterproof. It wasn't. Sunburned. Ouch. Vinny the Anvil Post Traumatic Didn't Make The Lakers Syndrome is REAL JACKASS POWER!!!!!!

floridadiver81 0 #10 June 11, 2007 i got burnt really bad back in 2003. I was on deployment witht he mission on counter drugs. So we sailed around south america for 5 months. That required going over the eguator numerous times. So i got my shellback initiation. After the ceremony we had a steel beach picnic(cookout on a ship made out of steel in the middle of no where). We were alloweed to wear civilian clothes or work out clothes. I wore a muscle shirt and cargo shorts. Keep in mind...ON THE EQUATOR.....where the sun is THE MOST POWERFUL! I was out in the sun for 45 minutes MAX. I noticed myself getting a lil red so i went inside...took a nap in the are conditioned living area..woke up three hours later and physically could not move my arms. I dont know if it was skin cancer or jsut really bad sun poisioning...but i peel the skin off of my shouldners three times. I now have freckles there to remind me of the incident...now im thinking that i will have them everywhere that is burnt now..and if everywhere gets like my shoulders were back then....the worst hasnt even got here yet...because that itself is painful and a bitch to deal with! lesson learned....when in the sun for 30 minutes...cover up. No more prolonged sun time without like 1,000,000,000 spf sunblock!"Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!!

BillyVance 35 #12 June 12, 2007 You buncha suckas... I've learned my lesson. Just got back from the beach and spent less than half an hour out on the beach or in the water each day. And I hate applying sunscreen to myself, but I made sure the little girl got slathered up.

BillyVance 35 #15 June 12, 2007 You know that if you shower with very hot water right after a bad sunburn, it goes away faster? Sure the shower hurts like a motherfucker, but my friend swears by it. Damned if I want to try it so I'll just play it safe and not get burned to begin with.

Andy_Copland 0 #16 June 12, 2007 Im not that silly. But if you put boiling water in an ice tray as opposed to cold it freezes faster.

Muenkel 0 #17 June 12, 2007 I'm really fair skinned and do not tan at all. When I was a teenager, I didn't like that at all. So, I would lay out for hours at a time. Holy shit did I get some really nasty burns. From some miracle, I never got skin cancer. Finally, I grew up and said fuck it, I'm pale and will be the rest of my life. So now I use the good sunscreen. BTW, people who do tan naturally are at risk of skin cancer also. This has been my public service announcement.
