  1. Graduation Jump; I was told, at the time, people have failed it.
  2. Slammer: Bit a piece of my tongue off, whiplash.
  3. My NCOES commandant (BNCOC) was a HALO jumper, so he saw no problem with me jumping off duty
  4. The Army has made it clear to me that if I'm hurt skydiving (keeps me from my duties) that this hobby of mine is over as long as I'm on active duty. Sometimes I forget that soldiers are property not people.
  5. Just checking to see what everybody recommends as far as comfort, wind protection, looks, and durability, etc........ Thanks PS: DropZone.Com boogie (Perris) was a blast.
  6. I have the bonehead boomerang (full Face). Great all around helmet for both RW and freeflying.
  7. First of all I had one hell of a slammer. My slider came down right on my head. At this time I was pretty much out of it. I pushed the slider up and it probably knocked the left toggle loose. The right toggle stayed stowed which put me into half brakes and a pretty fast spin towards earth. By the time I had my wits about me I was 1000ft off the ground and was sick and dizzy from all the spinning. So I made the decision to chop it. The main has no visible damage. I don't have a good excuse on why I didn't pull my reserve handle, so I won't waste your time on giving you a bad one. Thank God for RSL's, but from now on I won't depend on them 100% Thanks for the concern.
  8. Had my first cutaway this past weekend (wow, what a rush). The only thing is that I got busted (lectured) by the DZO (reserve handle still intact-RSL). Morale of the story: PULL BOTH HANDLES NO MATTER WHAT!!!!!!! Every jump day, is a learning day. PS: Yes! Case of beer was purchased.
  9. Is the approximate $300 (G4) difference between them worth the investment?
  10. I wish that the Hooters franchise would come to the Bay Area; love them buffalo wings
  11. Hmmm, If Saddam is captured, I'D like to see him do a tadem over Baghdad. "OOPPS, SAID THE TANDEM MASTER," I FORGOT TO HOOK HIM UP TO ME."
  12. The group was blocking supplies and food from going over to Iraq to help our troops. That is an act of terrisom. PS-I also feel sorry for the person I catch burning the stars and stripes.
  13. Nah, your not weird. I did a internship with the Alaska State Troopers (summer-95) and I saw alot of interesting and strange things. I've got a degree in CJ, and here I'm in the full-time reserves as Combat Medic, now tha't weird. PS-Lived in Irving for 3 years; that heat during the summer wiped me out.
  14. I would go into Special Ops, I had 4-5 years tour with 75th Rangers. It was the best times of my career. Rangers Lead The Way
  15. TRYING TO ARREST ME IN MY HOME WITH THAT KIND OF A WARRANT WOULD BE LIKE THE ATF DISARMING AN ALASKAN.
  16. REMEMBER: FREEDOM IS NOT FREE.
  17. DEAD OR ALIVE, NEVER LEAVE A FELLOW SOLDIER BEHIND. RANGERS LEAD THE WAY
  18. Jumped with it the last two days. Loved it
  19. Just purchased a BoneHead full face helmet (it's neither a boomerang nor Havoc). I believe it's a discontinued item (marked down from $210 to $100) The helmet is comfortable as hell as well as being light. The only thing is that it doesn't have is a breathing vent next to my mouth. Should I take it back and spend the money on a Z1 (or something else) or will this lack of a vent be that big of a deal????
