  14. Well I think I screwed my self as far as skydiving goes. I got into my medic school and now I realize that I will have tuns of money ( fasfa, loans, student aid, scholarships, and tuition reimbursement), but no real time to jump It is going to be like that for a year or so. Very depressing. BUt I have to do it, it equals more money in the long run. Just thought I would share my joy and sadness "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.

  18. I am sure it has been covered, and I did do a serch, but couldn't find anything. I want to put velcroless toggles on, where can i get them, and do you have any opinions? "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  19. I just got all my own gear and am having a problem. I was on F-111 canopys when I was a student, a skymaster to be exact. Now I am on a ZP Triathlon and am having problems with the two stage flare. When I was on the SM it was easy, you put it down as far as you sould and you could get a good landing. I have about 12 jumps on my new stuff and slam in about 3 outa 5 times. My PLF is coming along greatly, but I don't think that is where the work needs to be done. Can anyone help?

  20. I wish i could give more info. I am only giving you what I was told. i don't want to make any of my own assumtions. I am not sure about the drouge. I know on a previews jump it did have a problem deploying. i was told it was a error in how it was stiched. wish i could be more help.

  21. I saw my first reserve ride yesterday, and it was a tandem. After talking to the TM, exit was fine, freefall-good. The canopy opened great, but had a manufacture error and split in the center cell. They chopped it and the reserved it down. It was pretty neat to see and the TM did everything right from what I was told. The customor got a free jump and a reserve ride.......I have had neither. Just glad no one got hurt.

  22. just some gear questions for a new guy. I just went out and bought my own gear and wanted to know some things. Is it okay to take your altimeter on a com airline? does the 30000+ altitude mess it up? Do you ever have to wash your rig and how? How can you tell if you need new lines? Does the rig go carry on or checked? What info should I keep in case it gets stolen? I know I have more, just can't think of them. I will come back and ost them when I can. I know they sound like stupid questions, but remember there is no such thing. Please be nice. "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
  23. This is a very newbie question. I have my A, and I am very close to my B. My question is, is there a progression card I need to fill out, or what is the deal? Is it just the B application form I found in the back of my SIMS? I believe it to be, but I wanna get things moving before they up the jump number to 200. I wanna have my D by then.....goals goals goals "I Yam what I Yam" I am not afriad to die, only to die without living.
