bloody_trauma 2 #5 July 4, 2006 youre right i just took a looka t the SIM and the first requirement is to have an A license, hmmph and here i was under the impression you could go to 50 and test out, check dive and you were good, but hell i dont know much anyway, need to read the sim more thoroughlyFly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lindercles 0 #6 July 4, 2006 You're allowed to "skip" B and C if you want, but it's not exactly skipping. You still have to be qualified for the B in order to get the C and qualified for the B and C in order to get the D, you just don't have to pay and get the actual license. But you can't skip the A. Which makes sense if you think about it. edited to add: It's really not that big of a deal. I know people with hundreds of skydives that never bothered to get anything more than an A.

NlghtJumper 0 #7 July 4, 2006 Quick note for you... If you go thru Manas AFB, Kyrgyzstan on your way back, you are allowed to have 2 beers a night. GET THE NUMBER 9! It has the highest alcohol content of all the beers, and it tastes pretty good. Sorry for off topic, just ha d to make sure you knew about it!

Jaden 0 #9 July 4, 2006 Marriage is a compromise... You are over there, doing your part & fighting for your beliefs. You deserve reward, as long as it isn't irrational. If you are not taking away from both of your basic needs; food, water, & shelter, you are not compromising your comfort. Dependant on your situation she is probably only trying to be responsible. Softly, let her know that you deserve yours too. I am hoping she will understand. IMO. Good luck! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

NewGuy2005 53 #11 July 4, 2006 Quote and 2500 is to pimp out my saturn, You can start by displaying good judgement to her by not dropping such a load "pimping out" your Saturn. Dude!! That would pay your AFF right there. PS: Thank you for your service. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Thanatos340 1 #21 July 4, 2006 QuoteThe wife controls 50% of the money and 100% of the PUSSY, you must negotiate No.. She controls 100% of hers. What people sometimes forgets is that 51% of the worlds population have an unlimited supply. Be reasonable.. Dont waste all your savings.. Decide on either the Pimping of the car or Skydiving. Set you priorties, try to work it out. If she is still unreasonable, Chop that malfunction. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

jeremy556 0 #24 July 4, 2006 Use the money earmarked for “pimping out the Saturn” (LOL - no offence) for skydiving instead. In a year or two you will regret the money you wasted on the POS car, and could have had instead great times and learning something with skydiving. $2500 should get you’re A license and then some.

bloody_trauma 2 #25 July 4, 2006 now mind you i'm getting alot of things with this money, for example the new car she has so graciously agreed to take the saturn (2000 SL2 go ahead and laugh but its a good car) and when i say pimp out the saturn what i mean is body work and a paint job, i got it for 2 G's in a silent auction off a junk lot with some body damage and less than 50,000 miles on it and it still had the new saturn smell so gimme a break, yeah i'm gonna spend some money on it to make it look new again, and come on now... yeah its gonna depreciate, but a new car is a nice thing to have if only once in your life, like a new dive rig with all the bells and whistles right? and my monetary situation has nothing to do with how much snootch i get, come on now, that only true if your a f'in hooker... geezFly it like you stole it Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
