You are in the Army not the Boy Scouts. You should have read the fine print when you signed up. "They" can do anything they want. Get over it. Remember, you don't accrue leave when in the stockade. A group action like that might be mistaken for mutiny My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Hey NJ, One other suggestion. Go buy 2 or 3 boxes of toothpicks and have them on hand at home in your car and in your pockets. Anytime the urge pops up grab one. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

You asked a question and you got an answer. I don’t see where anyone TOLD you what to do. You may be a big boy in the real world but in skydiving you are still a babe in arms. You are right, decisions are yours to make. But you must be willing to listen before you can learn. Dave was attempting to get you to think through what it was you asked. I am sure you would agree that thinking is huge when trying to learn. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

How thoroughly do you inspect reserves/containers?
mjosparky replied to jheadley's topic in Gear and Rigging
I spend enough time inspecting all components of the system to assure myself that the complete system is airworthy. That can be 3 or 4 hours on some rigs but never less then 2 hours. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals -
What is called the “Flex pin” today was called the “Polish pin” in the late 70’s. I think it was Leo Orloski that came up with it. It was better then using a “bite” of the bridle to close the container. The reason it is no longer used is something better came along, the curved pin. As Bill has pointed out, there is a trade off for making changes to a rigs design. If you do not understand the “why” of system it is better if you leave it alone.

I smoked a pack and a half for over thirty years. In 1999 I was diagnosed with cancer and quit cold turkey. With the right motivation you can do anything. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

CSPA Parachutist Information Manual – Part I 2.6 No jumper shall make, or attempt to make, a parachute descent while under the influence of a drug, alcoholic beverage or other type of intoxicant. How about rules made in your own country? And if all else fails you can always fall back on common sense.

105.3____ Definitions. For the purposes of this part— Parachute operation means the performance of all activity for the purpose of, or in support of, a parachute jump or a parachute drop. This parachute operation can involve, but is not limited to, the following persons: parachutist, parachutist in command and passenger in tandem parachute operations, drop zone or owner or operator, jump master, certificated parachute rigger, or pilot. You should know me better than that.

You may feel that it is not the end of the world but it could be the end of the DZ, the pilots career and a large fine for you. 105.7 Use of alcohol and drugs. No person may conduct a parachute operation, and no pilot in command of an aircraft may allow a person to conduct a parachute operation from that aircraft, if that person is or appears to be under the influence of— (a) Alcohol, or (b) Any drug that affects that person's faculties in any way contrary to safety.

Mick, You must always remember Booth's law #2. "The safer skydiving gear becomes, the more chances skydivers will take, in order to keep the fatality rate constant." My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Footwear with ankle support...

The only thing you have to lose is your life. Trying to be a rigger in freefall is for fools. If you can't land it, chop it. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

Sometimes what one person thinks is a lecture in in reality the good advice you are looking for. You are a long way from going to an elliptical, not a lecture, just fact. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

There are way to many variables to speculate. If you plan to continue jumping, buy a rig and jump. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

How many of the people who died behind a HP landing do you think got up that morning and said "I think I will hook it into the ground today."? They all thought that what they were doing was within their ability until that last few feet. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals

I think I might do it because it is a carry over from the old days when the FAA lic. lofts. At that time you were supposed to hang and air a canopy for 24 hours if I remember right. And you are right, it just makes so many things easier to see and check. My idea of a fair fight is clubbing baby seals
