Cool video. LOL. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Welcome to the forum and good luck on your AFF. It is a whole new world of parachuting compared to your military jumps. I had 79 military jumps and can't keep from smiling on each of my freefall jumps. Nice not to have a 60 pound plus ruck attached to you. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?

Retirees do have medical benefits, it is called tricare. There is a deductable that you have to pay. It is not as good as while you are in, but now that I'm out and hear what others have to pay for insurance, I appreciate having Tricare. Lee03 are you a retired vet? I retired 4 years ago and I'm thankful for what I get. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

congratulation on getting your A license and welcome to the forum. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Here is mine. It a little different the ones posted. I sure they are a few with the same one though. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

I started out on a minibike was a kid. But my first real bike was a Yamaha XT 550 at 25, quickly changed to a Yamaha Virago 700 and now ride a Suzuki Volusia 800. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Welcome and enjoy your upcoming jump *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Congratulation on your jump, and may you have many more. It just keeps getting better! *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Unless I go to one before that, It will also be my first. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Here are a couple of places that you can get videos from, Square1.com or Paragear.com . I'm sure there are many more but at least that is a place to start. Good luck. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

You've got that right. The real work begins when you hit the ground. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

The rucks that they use during the course are small compared to the ones that they will jump on a team. Rucks on a team will run anywhere from 55 to over a 100 pounds. Talking to one of my old team mates that was on a Halo jump, his ruck shifted and he had both arms on one side to stay stable. Which then when it came time to pull it sucked. The dropzone is pitch black where they land. They still do the PLF as a norm at night. They don't practice relative work. They are not suppose to link up, or touch other jumpers. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

They have the dvd for sale at this web site.

Welcome to the forum and skydiving. It is hard to understand our perspective until you climb out the plane and let go. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

I just purchased my own rig after 42 sport jumps. I'm planning on coming down there for the Hill Billy Boogie in June. Maybe I'll see you then. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

If they receive benefits through the government then it would be tax dollars that I have paid in. It would not be something that would be easy to see or point out. That is the reason I use the law suits as an example. What benefits are being seeked by them getting married? Or are they getting married for public recognition? *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

How easily it is to twist the words around. As I said what they do together it is their own business. Getting married through our court system does make it our business. Do you honestly believe that they are doing it through the court system just to show their love for one another. There is monetary gain by having the courts recognize them as being married. You even hear that being stated on the news. To say it doesn't effect everyone is wrong. It is like when a big law suit is won, saying it is only the big company is hurt. Wrong the money comes from somewhere and later it is put into the cost that we all share. Redefining the word marriage. How is it that the word can be twisted and then try to convince others it means something else. Why we can't we come up with appropriate term with the benefits that should come with it. Such as if a love one dies the next of kin keeps what the two of them have worked for. Spouses medical benefits from your employer, up to the employer. There has to be some give and take. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Don't you think that they are pushing for gay marriage, that they are trying to make our society except it? What two consenting adults do are their business, but what they try to get our culture to except is different. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?

I'm thinking of heading out there. I do have a couple of things that I have to do. I'm suppose to work on Saturday, but will be finished probably by noon. I need to go out to Columbia, so I just need to figure out how I can make it fit the DZ in. I can't wait till I get my rig back. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane?

I hope the weather out look for Sunday changes, I think it would be cool to jump on the 29 of Feb only comes onces a year. What am I saying, everyday is a cool day to jump. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

It only takes one jump to get hooked. Welcome to the forum and the sport. If money is tight you might check to see if they offer a static line progression course. The cost is a lot cheaper, but you start off with lower jumps and work your way up to freefall and higher altitudes. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Welcome to the forum. I see you in a couple of weeks. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

Welcome to the forum. Good luck on your up coming jump. I can't help on any of the DZ there, but as it has been mention above this is a good place to get information on the sport and local DZs. Let us know how the jumps goes. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****

I'll be there. *****Why would anyone jump from a perfectly good airplane? Because it isn't much fun if it's broke.****
