  1. If I had to do it again, it would be totally different. Last time, I was Army enlisted. I went through Airborne training and served with the 82nd. Not that I'm going back in, but if I did, I would probably be a Coastie officer. Yup. Coast Guard. I'd go in for pilot training, preferably helicopter. They have a healthy amount of flight time, doing real-world duty every bit as important as the Air Force. You can't get stationed anywhere too god-forsaken as a Coastie. And you can learn to fly helicopters that are also used in the civilian world. When you left, you'd have tons of hours in identical aircraft that you could fly as a civilian pilot. From what I've heard, the lifestyle is much more like the Air Force, meaning that it is pleasant. Anyway, that is my $.02 on military duty these days, subject to change... Justin
  2. I can just see some people here sticking a dz.com patch on their arm and wondering why it doesn't help curb their cigarette cravings....
  3. I'll check that. Thanks for the idea! Justin
  4. From what I've seen, I'd agree with Mark. Animated images as cell backgrounds would do the trick. Justin
  5. It amused me how they would have to give map coordinates to places so freakin' remote that no roads went to them, just to tell you not to go there. If they had left them off the list, nobody would have been able to find them. I can just see a bunch of drunk guys land-nav'ing their way there. Justin
  6. Homer & Clay, Were you two visiting those "Off Limits Establishments" that they could only identify by map coordinates? Justin
  7. Sounds like "Pigs in a Blanket" at IHOP. Justin

    Extended sleep deprivation can have similar symptoms as drunkeness. I guess you are excused this time.... Justin
  9. All of a sudden, hop-n-pops get popular again. The faster you can get from 1000 on the way up, through exit, warning 1, warning 2, warning 3 and deployment before repeating, the better. Shall we discuss multiple dytters as well? Justin
  10. The boobie thing is always a worry, but the vibrating Dytters wouldn't go off at ground level. The ride up would be funny as we passed through 1000 feet. The guys would take their helmets off and the women.....
  11. Depends on whether or not it is whistling. You might be right on that. I can see a rash of low-pulling as women wait for the vibrations to hit maximum power at the final low-alt warning signal. Justin
  12. And what the heck does it graph when you put it into "log mode"? Thrusts/second? And is the "true" thrusts or "skydiver's" thrusts? Where does the difference come from, because it isn't barometric pressure this time?
  13. Move over Larsen & Brusgaard. Dytters by Doc Johnson. Justin
  14. I'm thinking Silence of the Lambs here.... Clarese.... Justin
  15. I think Emma was thinking of something smaller, but if what I've heard about female British 4-way team members is correct, you might be on the right track, Clay. And if I have remember that incorrectly and besmirched poor Emma's reputation, well... she should have known better than to post about vibrating dytters outside the Gear & Rigging forum. Justin
  16. And you want a waterproof one too, right.... in case you are skydiving in the rain? And one with a remote control, so you can change the "volume" in freefall? Justin

    If he was drunk, it makes perfect sense. That was my assumption. If he posted that sober, then he needs serious help. Justin

    "Remster", If you are trying to make a fresh start, I would avoid posting in any thread started by Skreamer or Clay, and completely avoid posting in direct response to them in any thread at all. You might not even want to type their names. Just some advice to a "newbie". Justin

    JT, For your sake, I hope you posted that drunk. Justin

    Of course not. You have simply never thought. Justin
  21. No. I'm too lazy to diagram the whacky interconnections on his family tree. Their being incarcerated does mean they can't escape you, but the rules for "conjugal visits" in hillybilly prisons would probably confuse me too much: Visits from inmates' mothers: Monday Visits from inmates' sisters: Tuesday Visits from inmates' cousins: Wednesday Visits from inmates' ex-wives: Thursday Visits from inmates' aunts: Friday Visits from inmates' coon dogs: Saturday So Clay get visits from the same person 6 days a week? I don't know when he fits Bubba into his "schedule". Justin

    Thanks, Lisa. Relax, I didn't DO the art. I take your "C" in art and raise you an "F" in handwriting. Justin
  23. He would pick Dolly the cloned sheep. That way, when he wears her out, he can use some of her cloned "siblings", guaranteeing a never-ending supply. Skreamer is sick, but smart. Justin

    Here is a little sketch, from the same series. In fine skydiver tradition, it is "Booby B". There, got in the obligatory boobie reference.

    Here is a little sketch, from a series of alphabetically-related drawings. This one is "Skydivin' G". Justin
