    Is being a "nimrod" more or less dz.com cool than being a "drama queen who posts pointless shit? Owned by Remi #?

    Win the next time by asking him if a tomato is a fruit or a vegatable. It's a fruit. Most people will guess veg. Owned by Remi #?

    Thanks for the response. They sure sounded like a good idea. Owned by Remi #?

    Someone in the RW forum mentioned these shaded contact lenses as an alternative to sunglasses. They seem like a good option for those of us who's eyes are very sensitive to sunlight, but prefer not to wear sunglasses on a skydive. I think these are a great idea. Does anyone use them and can you provide any feedback? http://www.nike.com/nikevision/main.html#section=product&subSection=product_maxsight Owned by Remi #?

    Well Doug.... I'd NEVER refuse any reason to drink beer. I think we got different mileage from the course. I guess nitpicking that's not really going to be productive in the context of the OP. I'm off to the store for the beer. Owned by Remi #?

    Nope, that's actually truth in advertising. If you buy a certificate in Tennessee, you have to go to Colorado to jump. Owned by Remi #?

    I don't agree. How can you possibly know what I learned and what I got out of the course I took? How could you know what I did and did not retain and how could you claim to know that I only learned enough to pass an eval. And what makes you think I didn't read the IRM, the SIM, and take both the tests before I arrived? WTH makes you imply that I didn't? We've never even met. Feel free to recount your own experiences, they may be helpful to someone, but don't try to tell me whether a course you didn't attend was helpful to a person you never met. Owned by Remi #?

    I think that depends a great deal on how you yourself were taught in combination with how the course is taught. I took the combined USPA/SDU course. I've heard that more SDU style coaching is being integrated into the USPA course. That might not be happening everywhere. If you've never been exposed to the SDU style coaching I think that you could certainly become a better flyer by learning and applying the techiques to your own jumps. Just my experience.

    How does the housing get past the grommet to the 3-rings? Or do you mean it interferes at the grommet? Owned by Remi #?

    Thanks to both of you. Almost nothing is a win/win, is it. Owned by Remi #?

    Ouch. The 3 12 hour days I spent in the "non-course" were pretty educational, IMO. Edit. That did NOT include the ground prep and evaluations done later after the classroom time Owned by Remi #?

    What problems can they introduce? I have them and I'm curious about that statement. They seem very passive. Owned by Remi #?

    Yeah, my rigger sent out an email about the closing loop requirements. It's a good thing he only charges $50.00 to change one. Owned by Remi #?

    Pretty impressive. I don't think I could identify 30-40 of my straight friend's anal sex habits, much less the lesbians I know. I've only ever met one who was opposed to the idea. Owned by Remi #?

    If you can't find it after you cut away, sure. If you think the expense is more important than the possibility that you might lose your main.....don't bother to take the chance. Owned by Remi #?
