    What a dickhead!

    I notice most people seem to think it's all about him being stupid enough to post the video or her staying in the car to get busted. What about the $10,000 vandalism of the (3 sets) of safety arrangements on the car door. I am not a base jumper but I realize all the jumps aren't legal. But willful serious damage..?

  3. "but you won't see any big name organizers there" I disagree Spence.. You have lots of big name organizers. They just don't act like it. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  4. Greetings.. I was on the GSR in 2011 (the only foreigner I believe). I was on the actual record jump and not the second one which was done to satisfy a USPA requirement. The only photo I have been able to locate is the second jump. I would like to get a copy of the first record jump. Can anybody out there help (Spence, Fortson?).

  5. King James version..written when? By whom? And "authorized by what person? Centuries after all the main cahracters were dead. I suppose you actually believe that some of those pretty boy oil paintings created during the renaissance period were accurate as to how people looked and dressed 2000+ years ago. It's a story created to explain really deep and radical ideas to really uneducated people. If the Creator is responsible for all that has been and all that will be then he/she is responsible for how people are born and how they choose to live etc. Aw, what do I know anyway. I just got off the spaceship myself. The Great Spirit and the Earth Mother are laughing at you. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  6. So what all do you need to get your A CoP? I take it that it is more than just the exam. Can you get the necessary jumps done before you leave? Also, ask around at your local DZ. There might be an instructor going down there at the same time who would help you with the necessary jumps/training/endorsement and you could get qualified while down there.

  7. Hosted by the Moncton Skydiving Club and held at Skydive Moncton DZ in New Brunswick Canada. Twin Otter arrives in our friendly skies on Thursday Aug 2nd and stays through Monday, Aug 5th. Camping, shower facilities, canteen, covered packing, live band and prizes. Maritime hospitality and a view of 3 provinces from altitude. Come join us for a great mid summer boogie.

  8. Huh? There can't be a boogie in Fitzgerald! It would have been posted if it wuz true.. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  9. G'dayhow'sshegoinganyway... I haven't read all the posts on this so it may have been touched on already. I am not sure how it works in the States but I am a Certificate Administrator (now called Skydiving School Examiner) in Canada. The are certain types of jumps, degrees of accuracy etc that are required for different license levels. If it ain't written in a log book it didn't happen and if it wasn't signed off by a person with the correct CoP or rating it doesn't count. Log em all. Put in the details that you may need for future ratings. If you think you won't want to be a coach or instructor or tandem master, or big way jumper, then by all means don't log. But you'll be sooorrrryyyyy. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  10. Your two whuffos freinds..you didn't mention what high school the little girls are going to. Are they..like..chearleaders..or do they just hang out with the cool kids. See what I'm sayin. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  11. Hi.. Unless you have a CSPA Certificate Administrator in yer arse pocket when you go to Perris you will have to join USPA and follow their training program for the necessary licenses (CoPs). If you come back home with a bunch USPA sanctioned licenses you will have to convert to our system or remain in the USPA system which means you don't have insurance and can't take CSPA rating courses. It can be a bit of an administrative hassle to convert back and forth. Lots of people have memberships in both and plenty have converted their ratings (AFF-PFF for example) but to start out at you level might be biting off a bit much. If you are going on the Invasion, contact some of the gang (who are going) first and arrange to get Canadian stuff done in the States. Some Instructors and CAs don't mind doing student stuff while at a Boogie, some won't. Do you homwwork now while you can so come January you have a locked in plan.

  12. Yeah, it was CBC..this time. Let's not get tunnel vision when it comes to which broadcaster is spewing the most BS. I watch a lot of news and the other media outlets in Canada and the ones in the US are every bit as bad. It doesn't matter whether it's about guns or motorcycles or parachutes or whatever. The medias job is to sell advertising and most of the talking heads couldn't get a real job anyway. Therefore they must spew. Anything that is painted green and has tracks is a tank, all skydiving accidents are due to the "parachute failing to open" all bikers are hooligans and for absolute sure all black semi-autos are "assault rifles and their owners are anarchist wack jobs. It will never change as long as we have a free press. The guys who tell it/print it like it really is can't sell enough advertising to get big enough to be heard by all the narrow minded uninformed delusional lemmings that believe the mainstream crap.. Other than that, it's a great day. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  13. G'day.. Yeah, I'm here for work. I is a Army Guy. It's called Op Nanook. Human flag poles. Arctic Sovereignty stuff. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  14. So.. Here I sit, in a big tent in Resolute, Nunavut.That's around 74 degrees, 42 minutes North of everywhere. It is 1 degree C and there are a few light flurries coming out of a very low ceiling. The nearest tree is thousands of kms away. We sleep in tents, eat in tents, shower in tents and shit in tents. When you get up in the middle of the night to go to the can you have to get fully dressed and walk 100 meters. You can't just sneak out at night and take a pee by a tree because there ain't no trees and it never gets dark. There is a fleet of twin Otters parked 100 feet away from my place of work as well as a helicopter and and at times, Hercs, C-17 Globemasters and DC 10s, and I don't have a rig and they don't have jump doors. I need a freakin skydive real soon or I am goin out to wrestle a polar bear (or a muskox..whichever is handy). Other than that I am havin a great day. I had to get that out of my system. Things could be worse. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  15. Hi fellow Canadian.. What gives with "stuck"? You get "stuck" when you are held up going from A to B (like on the way to NZ you got stuck in Australia because you wuz broke). If you are there on purpose you aint stuck..you are fortunate. Have a good one, eh. My 2 cents (0.193683 AUD) DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  16. It is amazing how different armys/countries look at things like this. In Canada (in the Armoured Corps) we wore berets in the field all the time. So called combat hats were looked on with disdain and used for fishing only. The black beret was a mark of pride. Dusty and smelly though they were, we wuz proud. They were also easier to wear with a radio headset. Now we wear a floppy wide brimmed combat hat in the field and we look just like the #@&** infantry. Gimmee my ol black hat anyday.

  17. This was definitely rare. I can only remember seeing one or two dead bears by the road over the years. Moose and deer on the other hand are common. By the way, do ya know the main difference between a moose and a deer?,,deer are stupid, moose just don't give shit. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  18. Hi. Just a minor point here..that's not a tank. Not even close. Tanks have: a. tracks b. turrets (that turn) c. big fucking guns It is, however a rather nicely made armoured car. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  19. Yeah, what Bunky said. You have to check out the most current rules for any given company. I have dealt with a half dozen different ones over the years. The reason I changed coverage so many times was because they keep changing their rules. The part about "competing and professional jumping" is fairly common.

  20. Does anybody know where I can obtain copies of the two record jumps at Fitz? That would be the POPS way and the actual (1st) record 66 way (as opposed to the failed two point jump). I need more stuff for my I Love Me wall. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  21. Yeah, those names sounds familiar. When I said "locals" I meant guys from around Georgia (I think) as opposed to someone like myself from 1700 miles away. And I definitely didn't mean local Fitzgerald Whuffos.. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  22. Hey Spence.. The band last year was good but the local guys around the fire (on Thursday?) were excellent. They gotta come back. By the way, who's feedin us? DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  23. Hi. There should be a bunch more (Atlantic) Canadians down there this year. We'll be the ones with the pale, snow burned complexions. In the interest of international brotherhood, please consider the following request; Lose the Lite beer! You guys really got get over that stuff. More hops, more alcohol, more flavour, and the hell with the waist line. Just a thought. See ya in March eh. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
  24. It's about time the authorities sorted out this terrible use of music as an avenue to promote hate. Now I think that all they should have a big protest (perhaps just prior to the next Gay Pride Parade) out in front of every library in the country. I am sure there are a few things written in some of those evil books that go against somebodies rights. They could break in, take all the bad books out and burn them in the streets. And if the library staff didn't conform, they could break all the windows in the librarys, and all the windows at the library staffs homes. There would be glass every where. And then we could hunt down all the people who make movies or write books that don't confirm to absolutely every little PC rule and lock them up and.. sound familiar?

  25. The lock wasn't broken. Spence was leanin on the door while they changed the video input cable from the washroom. DOOG Muff 846 All you people are here to make sure I have a good time.
