    If your Son had died in that conflict...Would you care its not his body? And you seemed to avoid the whole show "Hero Kerry's" killings. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Done it several times. 6 reserve rides, one cutaway from about 700 feet. Why not? You trust your CYPRES to fire it at 750. Yeah low pulls are bad, but a guy with 300 jumps on a Xbraced is OK? I would bet that *most* DZ's don't go to 13.5. There are a large number of small DZ's. Now more jumps may be made from 13.5, but most DZ's???? I don't think so.

    Well go fiqure no one paying attention to Clinton about military matters? The military hated Clinton. He had no Loyalty, no sense of Duty, no Respect, His idea of Selfless service was how fast he could get to Canada, or how fast he could get the pants of an intern, No integrity and no courage. And Clinton, not Bush could have stopped 9-11 and the Gulf War 2. His lack of action let the threats grow. And there should not be. The Brits are up in arms about a guy showing Diana's last moments....Death should not be glamorized....And its a really dirty tactic to show pictures of dead Americans for political reasons. Maybe we should get some pictures of the innocent dead that Kerry admitted to firing on in the free fire zones?

    I like that. Well right now we are just handing them money...So maing them clean a park for it is better than nothing. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Clintons inactions leading up to Bushes term has just as much to do with the current situation as Bush does...Some would say more. He did nothing about OBL, or Saddam. Ever hear of a stitch in time saves nine? If Clinton was not to busy getting hummers in the White House and actually DID handle the issues around the world....9/11 and Iraq would not have been issues.

    If you read the whole post you will se I aslo included things like picking trash up from the road ways, painting civic buildings...ect. We are paying them they should do something for it. And can't find a job?..McDonalds is always hireing. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    I don't care if its popular....I don't think its very popular for me to pay people to sit on their asses all day and collect a check. And it does not have to be militray...Anyone can pick up trash on the side of the road. We are giving them the money now, so why not get some work out of them? As for the military with kids....Well I know plenty of military people with kids. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Rangel....NY. I like the idea of a manditory draft. But his reasoning is BS. I like my idea better...On welfare? In the Army you go. Don't like that idea? Get a J-O-B. Does not have to be the military... You could be put to work cleaning up highways for the paycheck. But I would not just ship money out to you. You would have to do some kind of public service..Crossing guard, Paint the courthouse, dig a ditch, work for Meals on Wheels ect. But I like the idea of manditory public service for welfare recipients. As for the higher tax for families without an active service member...Well what about those that already served? Should a guy that has been deployed to the first Gulf war have to pay? He already did his time. I think ALL 18 year olds should serve atleast a year.

    Yep, but this thread is about how we are not showing the coffins of our dead....You guys love to say that this kind of stuff is a Bush ploy..But in this case it was Clinton. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Ohhh lookie, lookie....But I guess this is a Bush thing right? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    This is the wrong forum for this..... But I will gladly play. Jack was an amazing man. A good friend. We used to talk about cigars, his homemade wine, and his military time. (He said he had made wine out of onions, but I never really believed him.) He died the day after I shipped out to Basic Training. I didin't know until weeks later when I got a letter from Zhills and they told me. He sent us a letter one time when he was "away" (You know) and it had a picture of this big beefy black guy with an afro. The letter said he had been lifting and working on his tan. He aslo included some money and bought a case of beer at the DZ. Classy. Bach "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Not dying is a good start. Other than that just go jump with as many friends as you can...And then get the shit pied out of yourself. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    clean it with? And like I have said before...Unless you have done this before, I don't expect you to be able to under duress. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    WOW...DeLand is pulling all the Vigils out of thier rigs...including Bob's... And the big thing, DeLand is recalling all Vigils they SOLD? What are they doing, Refunding the money? And what are they doing with units? Thats two DZ's that have pulled the Vigils. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Ok so I got that right correct? Ok here I'm lost....So it should get colder as the air is passes through the venturi not hotter? Well I guess the air is not really compressed it just moves faster....So I really dont have a clue. We are past where Physics for Dummies goes.

    Try that. Its not easy or maybe even possible. It would be better to just prop it on your head. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    I don't agree with that. I happen to know of a guy that is making little rocks out of big rocks cause he raped a woman while being deployed. Edit to add:Opps damn spelling "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    But I don't think enough to make it so the tunnel could survive. Eloys best bet is to use Airspeed to hold tons of camps that keep it running. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    I still think its funny. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Yeah they had to take time to clean and recreate them right? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Bump!! Any new info? "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Ok this is gonna live to bite him on the ass.. Of course I have landed in a tree. T10 after a SL jump on the Aniversery of the 40th year of the C130. So that just proves I'm a real skydiver. "No free man shall ever be debarred the use of arms." -- Thomas Jefferson, Thomas Jefferson Papers, 334

    Yes, but the flight chamber is in the middle or just slightly above the middle of the venturi. The reason is that this is where the wind speed is the greatist. The new tunnel's are suckers (However there is one new design in TN that is a blower.http://www.bodyflight.net/aac_vertical_wind_tunnel_photo.html) It is supposed to be quite nice. Either way the venturi does not care if it is getting air sucked through or pushed through. But I still could be full of shit.
