DBTECH 0 #2 March 30, 2001 I know of at least two people that have gone through Sandy Reid's rigging course, both Senior and Master.I believe that Sandy Reid's operation is top notch in all areas.As far as Tony Frost is concerned, I have heard that he is very tough in his practical exams.I say no more.Dave BrownellMesa, AZ Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

askir 0 #4 July 23, 2003 Tony is not that hard, just make sure you say you like his dog...the thing looks more like a horse and he likes to sit at your feet when you are sewing. Tony is fair and he seems to have the ability to know whether you are trying to BS him, just say I don't know but i can look it up. LIFE IS LIKE A CIGARETTE, YOU CAN SIT THERE AND WATCH IT BURN AWAY OR YOU CAN SMOKE THAT BITCH TO THE FILTER Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

slotperfect 7 #6 July 23, 2003 This is actually old news. I went through Sandy's course (which was GREAT, BTW) in January of 2002 and tested successfully through Tony. His dog (AC the Mastiff) loves me 'cause I'm one of the only people there other than he and Greg that will play with him. As far as the loft at Raeford goes, I have no designs on retiring from the Army and taking it over, but I am recruiting all the time. Meanwhile, I'm glad to help out keeping the student and tandem gear up to speed.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I ask because I'm about to take a job at U of Arizona just so I can go to Eloy. (I turned down two others because there was no drop zone nearby!!) I've been wanting to start rigger training for some time. I just get off on technology, figuring out how stuff works, how to keep it working and thinking about how to make it better....

For some reason I hadn't been able to get a hit on them using the normal search engines. I guess I'll be saving up some vacation time when I get there.
