Skymonkey13 0 #1 June 14, 2003 OK here's the deal. I'm talking to this dude who is suppose to be going into the service (Airborne). This guy has been caught in so many lies already that it's pityfull. Any way, he's bragging about how he going to be getting to do a HALO. Now he got the altitude right (30,000 feet), but he is also saying that they do night HALO jumps where they travel 250 miles cross country at night under canopy. I would like to know if this is true. And if not, does anyone know of a web site i could show him to prove he's lying. Thanks Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Frodo 0 #3 June 14, 2003 Yeah, 250 miles, right... Didn't he also say they jump from the moon? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
LouDiamond 1 #4 June 14, 2003 If he's just goin into the service he won't see HALO school for quite some time if at all. Ask him what his MOS is going to be."It's just skydiving..additional drama is not required" Some people dream about flying, I live my dream SKYMONKEY PUBLISHING Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skymonkey13 0 #5 June 14, 2003 Oh, i know he's lying, but i just need to be able to show him the proof in front of everyone to shut his lying arse up. I already told him that if he was traveling any distance at all it would'nt be a HALO, because it wouldn't be a low opening. And that if you travel it's called Cross country. But i want to put him in his place for good. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I have to say that I am disappointed that you would post a private email. Without the writers expressed permission this is really a no no and very bad form.

Zenister 0 #8 June 14, 2003 actually it sounds most like he's repeating what the recuiters are telling him, so any 'lies' or exagerations come from them not him... i say cut him some slack and talk to him after he finished jump school..____________________________________ Those who fail to learn from the past are simply Doomed.

To post an email or in part without permission isnt right. Look at it like this....and humor me here if you would. Let's say you sent me an email and I posted it without your permission...I don't think you would appreciate it much. One other thing...you've violated a basic trust. Heck the folks on the forums may think twice about the PM's and/or email they send to you. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skymonkey13 0 #11 June 14, 2003 If you posted it without my permission but did not include my name, then nobody would know who wrote it. So why would that bother me? I could understand what your saying if i posted a name or address or something like that. Whats the difference between what i posted and someone sitting around a campfire saying "Hey , i know this guy that told me blah, blah, blah."? And please don't take this as me trying to argue with you because it is not intended that way. I just truley don't understand why it's wrong. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
jumprunner 0 #12 June 14, 2003 going in as a e3 which isnt too bad E-3 = PFC (Private First Class) - same thing as a Private only you get paid a little more...it isnt too good. "high altitutude low opening" its a banch of the airborn and is considered the "elite" its very tough to get into but once your in its an amazing ride you do 30,000FT oxygen jumps at night travel up to 250 miles via parachute Whats he gonna have, a motor on his parachute??? and do alot of high intensity missions...i really hope i get into that..... These Army recruiters bullshit someone like there is no end to tomorrow, and all this sounds to me exactly where this is comming from. This is unmistakably Army recruiter bullshit, some recruiter spewing out a lot of hot air and BS not having even the slightest idea of WTF he is talking about, pure and simple bullshit. This guy must just be suckin' it right up through a straw. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Amazon 7 #17 June 14, 2003 Quotei say cut him some slack and talk to him after he finished jump school.. I might add.. AFTER he gets thru basic... and AFTER he gets thru Jump School and AFTER he gets thru HALO School. Maybe by then he will be a bit less inclined to exagerrate.. since by then... he wont have to any more. But untill then.,... he is still just a LEG wannabe Amazon Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

kmcguffee 0 #19 June 14, 2003 CrazyIvan is right. He didn't break any rules of the forum so you really have no place in pushing your views. This place has turned into the most politically correct, don't say anything because you might offend someone, bleeding heart forum I have ever seen. I understand we need to have mutual respect for each other but this is really carrying it too far. BTW, I realize that Quotethis ain't no damn democracy and that I can leave when I want, so save it.

skydive84 0 #20 June 14, 2003 Quotehe is also saying that they do night HALO jumps where they travel 250 miles cross country at night under canopy. You could possibly do that on a HAHO jump. But not if you were opening low, as this guy says. Adi Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Skymonkey13 0 #21 June 15, 2003 Even on a HAHO jump, you are not going to travel 250 miles. Unless your canopy gets snagged on a passing jet. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
