However, I'm off to the Chicago Military Ball next week and no doubt I'll have the opportunity to ask some generals and admirals what they think. Might learn something. never pull low......unless you are

I don't believe people like Windsor were ever legally able to mentor someone who didn't yet have an 'a' license. I don't think anything has changed here. It is legal for anyone to mentor a student. It is also against the BSR's for someone without a rating to do it. USPA is not the law. never pull low......unless you are

Well, if Attila the Hun is a moderate then yes. Do you have any idea how ridiculous you are? Do you have any idea how ridiculous your answer sounds. I hope that you aren't trying to pass your extreme views off as middle of the road. never pull low......unless you are

Does a 2 day course prepare anyone to teach anything? If so, how come schoolteachers can't get certified in 2 days? There is also a proficiency card to help prepare. Still not enough IMO. I've been letting people assist with my AFF FJC's to satisfy some requirements. Sitting in on one class and teaching two more is not enough training. never pull low......unless you are

I've got a few of those stories. never pull low......unless you are

Moderates in this country no longer have a voice. That's because the shrill rhetoric from the left drowns them out. never pull low......unless you are

do you think he is guilty? Mike was found not guilty by a jury of his peers, that's good enough for me. I can't wait until the next time I jump his plane. never pull low......unless you are

I'd rather go with a twenty something AFF I with 500 dives than with an 80 something AFF I with 20000 plus dives. I'd jump with them before I jumped to conclusions based on age. never pull low......unless you are

Invent something -everyone- will use, patent it and get people to pay you royalties to manufacture it. When everyones digging for gold, sell shovels. never pull low......unless you are

I didn't set the tone for this thread. It is interesting that I was the one singled out. While another poster has been ranting for days, I'm the one who's grumpy. Oh thats right she shares your view on politics and I don't. Life's a breeze, and politics is like fleas arguing about who owns the dog they're on. True. Nobody changes their minds they just dig in deeper. I'm sure we could find more in common than ideology if we tried. Skydiving comes to mind. never pull low......unless you are

Jeb is also the smart one - too smart to become a puppet of the extreme right. Finally, something that we agree on. never pull low......unless you are

Right.. be sure to explain that to your grankids when they are paying for The Bush Wars. Just like the last deficit, it'll be payed off before then. never pull low......unless you are

Well, nobody is tying you to the couch making you watch TV. TV isn't real life; it's TV. If you don't like it, you are free to turn it off! Whether he watches it or not, the premise of the show is the same. never pull low......unless you are

What are YOU going to do when your company... owned by one of them Patriotic Republican dudes....all patriotic and right wing.. sends your jobs to India or Mexico.... or Taiwan.. because of the bottom line... all together now.. sing along...Three cheers for the Red White and Blue....oops now that isnt so patriotic is it. To prevent this you should only work for Un-patriotic Democrat dudes. never pull low......unless you are

If a woman aspires to be a housewife and mother that should be her choice and the needs of her family and thier situation. In todays world though it's nearly impossible for a single income family to make it and be comfortable if she does... just the reality of MOST families in America. But increasingly men on the RIGHT HAND seem to harrass ANY woman who would seek any more out of life. As far as your luck with guys... so far....Hey give em a few more years. You are still young and they probably are too.. seems they have less "energy" when they get older. I have my suspicions hence my reference to the FOX news articles... its more of a reference to a circle jerk... just waiting for any little tidbit to give them a little kick in thier lives and since so many of them idolize Ann Coulter.. I can only picture them "killing kittens" while reading her books, fawning over her every seductive phrase while describing Bill CLinton for them. I have actually done the nurturing role.. and did it well enough at the time. Funny how promises are not really meant to be kept, ses la vie. I am a hell of a cook.. as well as being exceptional on the procurement end of the spectrum as well. I don’t let the boys have all the fun when hunting season or fishing season rolls around.. .. so not only can I cook it.. I can catch it and clean it too. Oh.. I should post some pictures of my HUGE garden for you.. I had plenty of extra to give to others .. all grown organically mind you. I myself would only go kicking and screaming and SHOOTING if anyone tried dragging me back into the kitchen or the bedroom if I didn't want to be there. I have my perceptions of the RIGHT HAND... since unlike most right wing skydivers who I at least HOPE can fly.. most of their ground based brethren... don’t have wings and can't.. just their RIGHT HAND.. and since so many of them have pent up issues it finally came to me why.... no sex.... frustrated men are very very sad things. We constantly have to listen about immoral Democrats...Clinton this Clinton that.. Kennedy this.. Kennedy that( the righties begrudge them having sex...guess they ARE getting sex after all and .) Evil Democrats this Godless Democrats that. Now we come to political operatives doing what they do.. coming up with dirt on the opposing party.. DUH.. like the Republicans don't...Watergate... The boys downstairs in the Whitehouse running an "illegal war or two" in the 80's As far as Good Ole Boy Clinton lying....I grew up in the south.. I know his kind well.. in his mind.. he did not have sexual relations with that woman....the good ole boys don’t consider a blow job ... sex. So in his mind I am sure he really believed he did not have sex with that woman. I grew up with plenty of good ole boy righties like that. You know what.. compared to sending off hundreds of thousands of our young people into harms way.. based on a personal family vendetta.... it kinda pales in comparison. This "president" has lied... over and over to the American people... perhaps its possibly unknowingly.. because his handlers have not given him the full story.. or at least the WHOLE story. What’s worse a liar or someone too stupid to get ALL the facts before he takes our nation to war, ruins our credibility in the world...and gets hundreds of our kids killed in a personal vendetta because.... THAT MAN TRIED TO KILL MY DADDY... sheesh. Is it any different when the same handlers were handling Ronnie... Plausible deniability.. by rogue operatives who supported an "illegal war" by dealing with dope peddling dictators to raise funds to sell arms.. the drugs then made it on to our streets brought in by people in our own government ...to then help the very people we are now trying to fight?? I guess our "freedom fighters" were terrorists after all. OBL is one of those Conservative kinds of guys... wants women in their places.. under burkas....Those people closely resemble our own fundamentalists... ultra conservative... not very different.. just their methods... but the results are similar setting back the clock into a time most of us would prefer as just a footnote to a horrible past. Perceptions are everything.. the world right now perceives us to be that last Imperial Power... blindly lashing out at people we do not like. Stay the course... I have heard that over and over. the last few days.....we did that before.. for a few years 1954 when we started helping the S Vietnamese till it heated up in the sixties.. till the late 1960's when enough people got tired of receiving their loved ones home in body bags and silver coffins... I remember that time all too well VIVIDLY. I hope to god we do a better job of supporting our young men and women who these people have put in harms way...this time. But blindly going along with a course set by this administration... who lied to us all is lunacy. Its time for a REAL policy.. do what is necessary to get Iraq set up as a free and democratic nation... get the people responsible for fighting that. Turn them over to the people that have been oppressed and the families of the dissappeared for the last 30 years. Actually I found Vinny a decent guy when I jumped with him at Byron hell I even liked him.. a bit short.. but hey most guys come up kinda short when standing next to me. ( Tall Guy excluded) But that said.. the whiny posts continue from both sides but the whinyest seem to stem from the RightHand.. and are exceedingly annoying... its like MOMMY... Johnny is pulling my hair... MOMMY... Robert is pinching me...sounds like a bunch of whiny brats to me. Liberals are too emotional. never pull low......unless you are
