Tennessee to New Orleans, grab a few cold ones and back... On my 1982 Suzuki glz650... one tired... ASS! (just over 1200 miles... considerably less that 24 hours) Yeah it was easy to do in 24 hours. We actually did it in 15 hours of drive time, but we had to stop and get beer every couple of hours and hang out. I think the Iron Butt Runs should be extenede to 1300 miles to make it a little tougher.

LMFAO!

replying to me to say I see all those typos and I am too lazy to fix them

I drove from Key west to Toledo Ohio, somewhere around 1600 miles and did it nonstopn (exceot to pee and gas up). Took a little over 22 hours. And yes I was speeding. Also I ahve done over 1000 mile on my motorcyclce in a 24 hour period. Iron Butts Unite!

Because it doesn't matter what you think you're doing. It matters what you're actually doing. The only way to know the difference between the two is to have someone experienced evaluate your performance. quade You are absolutely right. I should have said as long as I am being safe. I did not reread before I posted, I might have caught that right. Gonna change my post now

:: reply reply:: ::something argumentative and opinionated. Blah blah. My opinion is all that matter s and is corrected everyone eslses is wrong!:: There I did my part. Hope you are entertained now

Bodyflight, just replying to your original post but gonna say thisngs that are not a response to you too. In response to your original q: I voted "sure Why not?" In response to soem fo the posts I have seen. I do not see what the big deal is. Skydiving is not about how many jumps you can make each year. (Well for some it is.) It is about experiancing each individual dive on its own terms. It is about figuring out why birds sing. For each of us it is an intesnely personal experience and a social one at times. I skydive because for as long as I remember I have looked up at the sky and wanted to be there. If my budget or time only allows me to jump 1, 2, 3 or 30 times a year then who cares? Maybe I come in just often enough to stay current until my finacial and time situation allows me to jump more. Maybe I come in once a year after I have an a license and I do one or two recurrency jumps and then I do a solo or a two way with a friend. No matter what, as long as I am being safe and looking around for others, then who cares if I pay for a recurrency jump every year or not? I did not think it was about how many skydives you do. I thought it was about skydiving. Now if the person is unsafe and behaves recklessly and cannot understand the reasons they are limited i to certain wing loadings and canopy sizes and approaches then I say no they do not jump. But if they observe the safety rules, fly safely, even if they flare late or early and hit hard, they are not hurting anybody. THey pay their money just like everyone else. They are here for the experience to the extent that they can partake of it. Let us not be elitist about it. Now me personally, I plan on doing 217 jumps minimum this year. We'll see if it happens. But if you have 1 to infinite jumps and only want to jump a few times a year I won't shun ya, I may not jump with ya, but hey right now not many would jump with me either . 33 and counting up baby. I am fully aware that I will be told my opinion is wrong and that because I am a newbie I do not know what I am talking about. Oh well. I am sure I will survive the ordeal.

Ya Think??? Kudos - you lasted WAY, WAY longer than I possibly could have. Speaking of dinosaurs, did you know that God also created light from the stars already "on its way"? How else to explain galaxies millions of light years away in a 6000 year old universe? Boy, God sure has a sense of humor - or way too much time on his hands. . . Clearly you can not sense the sracasm. I gave up first. My sarcasm ended the debate. Of course I believe in Creation so what do I know, I am a fantaic who is beyond reasoning with.

I can agree with those. When you say defense I assume you include Police and Fire/Rescue in that? If not Well then I put them on the list. Police Fire/Rescue Animal Control (or allow us to eliminate strays our own way) Child Safety Services

I couldn't agree more.

You know I know that the giraffe did not wake up one day and say ooh I need a long neck and a vlalve to prevent it from exploding. But the neck and the valve and the stronger heart and a whole mess of things had to develope SIMULTANEOUSLY for this giraffe to get where it is today. And this had to ahppen across the entire living kingdoms. Plants and animals at the same time. And everything had to communicate their evelotionary changes in some way with all other species so that they could continue their symbiotic relationships. Do I think creatures can adapt to surroundings? Yes, do I think it happens by chance? Absolutely not. There is a design at work and that requires a designer which means a creator. And FYI up until 5 years agfo I was a staunch non-christian who believed completely in evolution. And it wasn't until I started seeing how much you have to accept at faith that I began to question my beliefs. I will never be convinced again that evolution is fact. ANd you will apparently be happy to believe in it. We are going to go in cirlces and someone will post that stupid cat and mouse bashing each other. SO I am going to just agree to disagree.

You mean minute quantitativce changes over a billion years? Or the fact that things evolve out of necessity? You say that the appendix is EVOLVING out of us. Really? How do you know? DO you have an appendix from an early human that you can compare it to? ANd yes I am just dumb enough to think that God want to confuse us by putting fossils in the ground. In fact I do not believe Dinosaurs actually existed. It think they really are just hardened sand art by early man in the time of the Pharoahs. ANd if a religious right told you that they were just Religious, not followers of God. He says He is NOT the author of confusion, so that person was seriously guilty of not knowing their own faith. And just because what is found in animals is different than our does not mean that ours was as big as theirs. By your logic, my teeth are a vestige of what sharks have so I must be evolving out of them.

Hmm not a bad idea. "911 - can I have your credit card number?" "Sorry do not have one" "How do you plan on paying for the service then?" "Check" "Please amke it out to Columbus Police Department."

Hmm if we did not need the appendix why have we not evolved it out? Strange. Maybe it serves no purpose but then according to evolution we would have gotten rid of it. Again, certain things can be experimented with, like quantum electrodynamics. Those kinds of theories have been tested over and over again by many scientists. They get reproduceable results, I have no problem with that. To that 13th sig fig we get REPRODUCABLE results. Evolution on the other hand cannot. Show me scientific data where scientists can produce reproducable results where they EVOLVED something. Evolve an eye froma a freckle. Or evolve a single celled organism from an amino acid, then reproduce it, over and over again. Show me this. You say this is how life originated. PROVE IT. Theory can be documented by EXPERIMENTATION. Is that too much to ask for? Or do I just have to take your word that evolution is proven because you say so? Can't believe you cannot see the flaw in that thinking. Evolution is Faith based non-science. And as far as I can say about what God does or does not do, He has yet to consult me on anything. And I am not arrogant enough to make Him conform to MY will. Oh and since I have to pay taxes intot he school system and I have kids, what I want should matter too. Otherwise give my damn money back and let me use it to send my kids where I want them to go. You can have your Evolution in your schools and I can have my Creationism in mine and my money supports my school and your money supports yours. But no, you don't want that because then you can 't meddle in my kids minds. You want your kids to learn your beliefs and you want mine to learn yours. But the second I try to put the shoe on the other foot well now we claim I can't possibly understand science.

how about they stopped before i started? Soomeone did not cover all possibilities.

There were quite a few salty dogs. Our First Sgt was this bald, bulldog of a man that looked like Elmer Fudd. Had a picture on the wall that said "Don't talk to me about the old Corps un less your 782 gear looked like this." Above it was a knight's armor and sheild with a sword and lance. Too damn funny.

That's just not feasible. That would require all roads to be toll roads, all public lands to charge admission, all schools to collect tickets at the door. As a society there has to be some shared responsibilities. I do not see why this would require rods to be toll rods. We could tax the hell out of gas, charge more for vehicle registrations, increase automobile sales tax, etc. (It would not be much of an increase because almost everybody drives.) Shared responsibilities include things like, do not litter, do not run your car into the guy walking in the cross walk, etc. As far as public schools, tickets would not be necessary either, private schools work under this princicpal and they do not have tickets. Nope still sticking with my idea

Co-op ending soon Then Wind Tunnel time I'll see Florida this Spring Warm Skies Will be mine Escaping Winter's Cold Hold As Spring Break draws near Family with me To Skyventure we will go My Kids too will fly.

Yes that is the ONLY ANGLICO unit in FL. And it is the only reservist ANGLICO unit. So it must have been 4th'ies.

Hmmmmm.......... Here Sheepy..... Cats.....now that's living dangerously. I can't begin to understand with all those hot Swedish chicks to feed you grapes...... Cats? Swedes must have small penises.

Creationism is definitely based on FAITH, but I hate to say it so is Evolution. We cannot explain things, we have limited capacity to understand most things, like how did a giraffe evolve the shut off valve to its brain? Without it the giraffe would die when drinking water because the blood flow would be to great. And if it did survive what happens when a lion comes to attack it? The giraffe jumps up and then as all the blood drains from its brain it passes out. The lion eats, yum yum. Either way the dead giraffe cannot devlope or pass on a ginetic code that creates a need. Without the valve it could not have the long neck, without the long neck it would have no need for the valve. What about the bombadier beetle? Two gases that when combined explodes to ward of attackers. The two gases are in seperate chambers. Without the gas it would not need the chambers and therefore would not have developed them, without the chambers it could not store the gas or it would explode and an exploded beetle cannot pass on ginetic code. One had to develope with the other. That is more than "minute quantitative changes". There are many species that have similar dual systems. Hell we as humans are a prime example. Female and male organs had to develope simultaneously or reproduction could not occur. And why would it. What possible reaso could this kind of procreation develope? Why not just split in two like our cells do? Why not have both reproductive organs in one body like some creatures? Evolution is not even a theory in scientific terms. It cannot be tested or replicated. It can only be observed through bones. It is a hypothesis, based on observations. Even Darwin was not totally convinced by his claims. For something to become a bonafide theory it has to be tested. Documented and reproduceable. To become law it has to stand the test fo time through continuous recreation of the original work. The day you can take a monkey and turn it into a human you will have convinced me that Evolution is possible. Until you can prove it through the SCIENTIFIC METHOD, without redefining the method to suit evolution, then fine I might say okay there is something there. But so many people just go spouting off about how evolution is fact without any ability to proove it that I am amused. Your faith that it is real makes it real to you. Even if you'll never admit it. Faith, evolution and creation. Like it or not, evolutionists are religious fanatics that hide behind the scientific method.

I wanted to be an Astronaut too, and a fighter pilot. But when I was five I got glasses for the first tiem andknew then that I could not fly because my Gpa's were both in the Air Force and they told me I would not be able to fly jets. (I wanted to be a Thunderbird or Blue Angel.) Then I wanted to be a skydiver and an inventor. Hey, I am what I wanted to be when I was a kid! shaaaaweeeeeeeeeeeeet!

4TH ANGLICO is Stationed in West Palm Beach Florida (my old unit). There is 1st, 2nd, 3rd and 4th ANGLICO. For a better idea of our proud history and what we do/did and where we came from go here: http://anglicoassociation.org/Home%20page.htm. This site has more info than you could want and is on has links to each of the ANGLICO units.

They kind of have our sacks in a sling. I have Digital Cable with no premium channels and I have a cable modem and I pay 100 per mo. But the digital cable is worth it. Cable prices have been a sore spot with the FCC for years, the problem is the contract areas. It was the same way with the phone company for a while. Most people only have one cable option. They need to open up more cities for competition. Supply and Demand is the issue. Cable co.s are just miny monopolies.

Air-Naval Gunnery LIason COmpany. They go in all sneaky sneaky and say shoot here- shoot there - don't drop a bomb here - drop a bomb there. Were disbanded for awhile but I heard they had just reformed a company. Any truth to that guys? Jump Just caught the error here Air Naval GUNFIRE Liaison Company. Other than that, yep we are sneaky sneaky bastards. Here is the requirements for us ANGLICO Marines From the 4th ANGLICO Website: ANGLICO Schools Required Basic Airborne Artillery Spotters Course Field Radio Operators Course Tactical Air Control Party Course Naval Gunfire Liaison Officers Course Naval Gunfire Spotters Course Marine Corps Martial Arts Tan Belt Course Advanced Special Operations Spotters Course Marine Air Ground Task Force Course Static Line Jumpmaster Pathfinder Winter/Summer Mountain Leader Course HRST Master School SERE School Marine Corps Martial Arts Instructors Course This information was partly published by "Field Artillery" magazine in 1990.
