  5. I'm definitely a moody eater but I enjoy my salty stuff just as much as the sweets.

  7. Way to go, JP... watch out for that 4000th. Chuck didn't know he hit his until a week later. He must have been doing AFF or tandems. He's always wanted to make a living skydiving so I'm sure he wasn't disappointed at all. Cheers! Katie Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  8. LMAO... I've got you so fooled!!! Seriously, I think Chuck is super sexy and I tell him all the time. I don't think he takes me seriously though... something about being biased. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  9. Air drops absolutely suck!!! Every time we get tasked with a Heavy drop we take the most broke shit in the unit so we can get it overhauled. We stopped trying to air drop our big switches because they never worked after that!!! Katie Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  10. There's only one vote for chuckie so far... suppose he voted for himself or does he have a stalker i need to be worried about??? Edited cuz I can't spell... Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  11. Man, I love Wendy. Haven't seen her since the 1st Eloy boogie. I've changed a lot since then and can't wait to see her at the next big boogie! Hugs! Katie Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here

  13. Mark - Chuckie and I will be down there for Fantasy Fest this year - we'll look you up again. PM is if your number's changed!
  14. Definitely NOT! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  15. 5:5:1 5 new girls initiated into the Pink Mafia! 5 fun jumps - went to Carolina Sky Sports for a CSL meet this weekend and let me say CSS rocks!!! Our team placed 2nd in the rookie class with an avg of 13.75. Not too shabby for a team with 12 jumps together! bought for first jumps at a new dz. Katie Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  16. Like I don't tell you enough... had to hear it from everyone else, huh?! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  17. Don't worry, girl, you got me!!! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  18. I think I can cover that for you... maybe I can get another CASA bite! I'm ready to claim 1st... Chuck's been unbearable but our 1st and 2nd places are side by side! I keep telling him I'll give him Richard next year! Some poor farmer has flour on his roof! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  19. LMAO!!! Good one... Both Raeford and Parkton great places to jump... Raeford's pretty well established and I hear Parkton is in the process of some pretty killer upgrades to the packing area and dz in general. It's also an easy dz to land on because if you can't see I-95 from the sky you're pretty much a jackass! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  20. Bill, your input here has always been very helpful and impactful to me as a novice. Please don't be a stranger around here. Thanks for your contribution to the sport. It was really nice meeting you in Eloy and I hope to see you around at one of those big events down the road.
  21. According to my cousin, they haven't. 800 ft for most training jumps unless it's a CASA, Otter, or heli, then normally 1250 ft. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  22. Thank God for the internet... we were worried you got waylayed on your way home! Welcome back anytime, girl... maybe we'll actually see each other next time! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  23. No need for a blanket...i'll just use your sleeping bag. God, how funny that we can go back 2 years on the jokes! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  24. Can anybody promise some warmer weather??? I was really bummed by the cold last year... Maybe it was colder because we refused to get in the swimming pool! Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
  25. Must interject here because I'm probably one of the few living candy military jumpers who's actually been towed (although not by my s/l). I had 33 or so military jumps at the time which is actually fairly experienced. I was also a jumpmaster, pulling assistant jm duties on the bird the night it happened. I will tell you that the 6" knife strapped to my boot that evening could have been 2 miles away. Had I been hung long enough to think about it, I might have been able to get to it but in a c-130 going 125 knots the air pressure was so intense that moving wasn't as easy as they make it out to be in the movies. Granted, civilian skydiving is a bit lighter and the plane is a bit slower so it might be more "doable". Luckily, my safety responded correctly and I wasn't being towed by my static line; rather, I was being towed by my combat gear. Following the emergency procedure that says keep your chin tucked and your hand on your reserve saved my life. It comes rather naturally the way they drill it in our heads. Had I not felt the opening shock of my main I still would have had time to pull my reserve (even at 800 ft). For static line, the first EP is to attempt to pull the jumper back in which again is easier in the military with the use of the static line retrieval system. Not as easy with skydiving but you better be damn sure that skydiver's conscious before cutting him away. Katie Get your PMS glass necklace here
