    As someone else mentioned, You'll also need to show them your logbook to verify that you're current, and even then they have the right to ask you to jump with a coach or instructor if they want you to. I showed up at a new DZ with about 30 jumps and only a few days shy of being un-current, and the DZO asked me to jump with an instructor anyway... I agreed expecting to pay for a jump with an instructor, then found out the DZO was paying for the instructor slot. He just wanted a little peice of mind I guess... YMMV. Owned by Remi #?

    I didn't understand how bad turbulence can be when I was learning. To me at the time, it was just "bumpy wind" I learned to respect it for the bitch-slapping bad-ass it can really be the hard way. Owned by Remi #?

    RSLs break, get disconnected, and get connected incorrectly. The existence (or not) of an RSL shouldn't matter WRT the emergency procedures that are taught to new students. Owned by Remi #?

    My take on his post was that he probably thought that the OP was about the Band of Brothers actor and not the actual Mr. Winters. Owned by Remi #?

    It absolutely is true for anyone who feels isolated. There are many, many amazing videos here with the same message: http://www.itgetsbetter.org/ Owned by Remi #?

    It's simple, Pete. It's not valid to use " read my original posts" as an argument when you have altered your original posts and the original content isn't there any more. You've put yourself in a position where editing, back tracking, and not being able to remember what you said draw even more negative attention from people who are clearly becoming very annoyed with you. Simple, huh? Owned by Remi #?

    What did the post you edited say, exactly word for word, before you edited it? Owned by Remi #?

    I'm amused by you to a degree. I certainly don't hate you, but I do hate some of the grossly inaccurate things you say and inappropriate or misleading advice you give. You're on shaky ground, Pete. My recommendation is don't edit anything any more. Admit your mistakes when you make them and ratchet down the talk to listen ratio a hell of a lot. Owned by Remi #?

    You've "obvisouley" edited at least one of your posts after the fact. Who knows what anyone did or did not read? You didn't go sneaking an "obvis" mistake outta there, did ya? Owned by Remi #?

    The first time I saw these videos on the news, I had to check to make sure I wasn't watching the Onion News Network. I'm torn... some of the stuff is hilarious and I understand how it could really lighten the atmosphere in some cases...particularly for some of the more experienced members of the crew. Some of it makes me cringe at the unprofessional demeanor of a man who is literally charged with the leadership and professional development of (some very) young sailors under his command. I don't see how you could make any connection between this and the repeal of DADT, though. Can you explain how he could be a "victim" of that? Owned by Remi #?

    That's a bummer because he made it very clear that taking responsibility for securing seat belts was important, and if someone didn't do it, they fucked up.. but it doesn't change the bottom line WRT thinking about your gear. Owned by Remi #?

    Sorry, that was a mistake on my part. Not barrel rolls... I meant snap rolls and not through 360 degrees. The other stuff stands wrt to 0/+ G maneuvers and hammerheads. Open door helicopter at the Sebastian Invasion Boogie, not Eloy. Edit.. Not sure what type of heli but it's full time at Sebastian. Bell 40 Edit again... I want to make it clear that I am NOT criticizing the DZ or the heli pilot or the ride OR the maneuvers or the AAD, etc. I am only questioning my decision to turn on my AAD for a jump that I should have considered more carefully before I hit the buttons. Owned by Remi #?

    This was the Invasion heli. Awesome ride.... Something new to consider before hitting tbe AAD "on" button. Edit to add.. Particularly if you have a door seat with your rig already a quarter exposed. Owned by Remi #?
