We are in a risky business, and we hope that if anything happens to us it will not delay the program. The conquest of space is worth the risk of life." Col Virgil I.

The change (CRW and RW to CF and FS) was made by the IPC several years ago as the "official" names for these disciplines in international competition. Now - How many out there are old enough to remember when a "4-way star" used to be "4-man star?" Not me, but old timers have told me it changed because women in the sport objected to the old term. Any confirmation on that? Chris

Very few folks in the Army are HALO qualified and those who are are almost exclusively in Special Ops. If he was a HALO dude he would have way more than 2 jumps. I doubt he is even a basic airborne course (military static line) graduate since you have to have 5 jumps to graduate. Also, if he works with you, I am guessing he is former military or a reservist, which makes it less likely he is telling the truth. For whatever reason, there is a big phony "war hero" culture out there both in and out of the military. In general the guys who have really been there don't talk about it much. Ask him how an MTX-1 flies (a military HALO canopy) Chris
