I have to train in the desert from time to time, and I had nose bleeds at first. Drug stores sell this nose spray with glycerine in it for those dry climates. I have no idea what glycerine is, but it did the trick. A few squirts at night before bed, and presto, no more nose bleeds. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

I'm not sure what you are disputing. I did not mean to include them with delta or team six or whatever, I was referring to civilian agencies.Please note that I did not say all of them are that good. I personally know several who are, one of which is ranked in the top ten in the world. Don't ask by which ranking org., you won't get an answer. Here is the FAM qual standard used for years: www.thegunzone.com/fam-lawman/fam-qual.html. The info on the page has a few arrors, but it is pretty close. The FAM service has since moved away from the TPC as a qual standard, but are now moving back to something similar. For the past year or so, they have used the PPC with a qual score of 255 out of 300 as a passing score, it's the hightest standard in the fed gov't, the average FAM score is very high. Why did they change? Too many were failing to qual on the TPC....it's a tough course of fire if you don't train to it. Most FAMS can pass it though. Some knuckleheads, however, who slipped through in the hiring process will never be able to pass it, and the service will probably never be able to get rid of them. Yea, that sucks. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

WTF?? If the English translation of what you were trying to say is that Air Marshals are donut eating fatbodys, with poor weapons retention skills, then fine, you get to be wrong. If a hijacker makes the same mistake of underestimation, he gets to go see Allah. The FAM service is known to have the most stringent firearms qualifications in the federal government. They employ some of the finest combat shooters on the planet. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

This is/has been such an obviously oppropriate solution to the traffic problem, I don't understand why the dzo's don't implement it, and enforce it. Eloy-none, Z-Hills-none, SDC-none, Ranch-none.......I'm not all that big on a bunch of rules, but this one sure would make things simpler. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

You know, it does not bother me if a woman dresses provocatively, in fact I kinda like it. Irregardless, I'm going to treat her with a modicum of decency. If a woman is wearing an unlined shirt, sans bra, I'm not going to say anything to her about her nipples.(unless I'm in serious mackn' mode) I may get busted for looking, but that is to be expected. Some women like to wear big, oversised clothes, and some women like to wear tight revealing stuff(god bless em), either way, they should be treated the same way at the dz. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

The DHS has jacked up the Advisory Level to Orange. I know, I know, everyone thinks it's stupid as nothing has ever happened while we are at that level....well, it's the best system we have at this point, so we all might want to be a little more vigilant for the next few weeks..........especially at the mall and at the airport. For those of you who think it is just a PR thing, and that we are crying wolf, ........I wish that were true........it's going to happen again, perhaps sooner than later. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

That is a fantastic point. I would say if only one person says something to you, several others are thinking the same thing. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

Well then, I'm thinking they probably left the restaraunt and had a flat tire on the way home, then they all stepped in a righteous pile of dog shit while waiting to get it fixed. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

I'm not sure. My latest background investigation cost the government 4K, and they only went back 10 years. I doubt many private sector companies would go to that expense. I will tell you this though, if you get hired after giving false info on an application or in an interview, and subsequently get fired for it, that will follow you around for a long time. Just be up front with them, then you won't have anything to worry about in the future if you get hired. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

It has always been a theory of mine that skydivers are, on average, smarter than the average bear, and good skydivers, in my experience, are way ahead of the pack. Just a theory.......skydiving attracts intelligent people. I'm sure you are right, but a bitchin' transcript has nothing to do with being popular/outcast or cool/geek. Please don't break bad and pull a Columbine at the DZ. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.

Dropdeded, My suggestion would be to answer all of the questions factually. I would not, however, volunteer anything. We have all done stupid shit, and most employers know that. I have done my fair share of stupid and illegal stuff back in the day. After college, I worked for a state government, and currently work for the Fed gov't and hold a top-secret clearance, and trust me, I know what the back seat of a police car feels like. Just don't lie. If they don't want you, warts-N-all, fuck em'. _________________________________________ -There's always free cheese in a mouse trap.
