Ladies and Gentlemen, I give you the American Indian. If we are going to pay out to any one (unless of course its me) it should be the American Indian. Talk about people who got fucked. I'm not a native american, (I'm actually mostly Irish) but if we are going to be fair about this bullshit..... Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Not to come off like a complete ass, but how many people here like tax cuts....those cuts always come off of education and human services. I haven't heard anyone ever say we need to raise taxes to put a shot of the good stuff into education. On another note, how many hours per day/ days per year does a middle school teacher word? I have a friend who has the summers off (nearly three months, a week an Christmas, twenty some-odd holidays throughout the year, plus paid vacation of two weeks during the year. So that's about 8 months working) Out of eight periods, she teaches six, plus she gets a lunch hour which equals out to working six hours a day. So the question I ask and I'm sure most will answer pissed off is, Why should someone who works eight months out of the year and only six hours out of the day be paid the same as an equivalently qualified individual who puts in eight hours a day all year round?

As far as revers racism....there is no such thing, i is racism plain and simple. I know we won't see Al Sharpton or Jesse Jackson coming to the aid of this African American (although they claim to support all African Americans). I like this kid, I think this wa a long overdue reality check. Andy Anderson has a great story about walking into a McDonalds and having the African american discussion with the all black staff, it shilarious. Buy him a few beers, and he'll tell ya all about it.

All I needed was some asprin, I had the worst headache, no one answered my knocking on the door, I figured they wre asleep..................

I had something like 90 jumps before I got my A license. I know some DZ's will help you with your proficiency card without a license, but to just show up and manifest most USPA DZ's willl require it. Eloy asks for your license before they even let you fill out the paper work. OR You can just get your 500 jumps done, take the B,C,&D exams all at once, find an instructor and S&TA to evaluate you, and just do the paper work once. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

From a military perspective you are probably right, but I'm not in anymore. Howz about "one way yo-yo". Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

I jump a boat (Sabre2 190), I always stow the brakes, uncollapse the slider and cock the pilot chute. Generally, (if I use a packer) packers that would normally charge me $6 only charge me five. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

Totaly doable, Get to the DZ early, get a packer and let them know what is up (bribes will generally get you packing priority), let manifest know what is up, as a backup if you want to make sure you can do it, rent a rig for one of the days, and do back to backs. It also depends on what kind of plane you are flying in. Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!!

TSA letter when traveling with a rig?
LoudDan replied to KolinskyDC's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Looks something like this: Travelers & Consumers Printable Version Transporting Special Items Parachutes Skydiving rigs with and without Automatic Activation Devices (AAD) are permitted as a carry-on or as checked luggage. Typically, a rig will move through the checked luggage or carry-on security screening process without need for physical inspection. However, TSA screeners have a duty to thoroughly inspect any item that raises suspicion. If screeners determine that it is necessary to open a rig for complete inspection, then the owner of the rig must be present and will be allowed to assist. For this reason, skydivers are advised to add at least 30 minutes to the airline's recommended arrival window when traveling with their parachute. The following recommendations are provided to assist skydivers traveling with parachutes: Check the Parachute as Luggage Pack the rig separately without any other items in the bag. Additional items, if suspicious, could trigger an inspection of the entire bag. Screeners will not unpack a parachute without the owner present to provide assistance. This means that the passenger will be paged and asked to return to the ticket counter, so they can be present for inspection. Depending on the size of the airport and passenger volume, it is likely that the checked rig will be screened within 30 minutes. Remain in the area of the air carrier ticket counter and pay close attention to airport announcements for up to 30 minutes after checking in. If TSA cannot locate the parachute owner, the uncleared parachute will not be transported on the flight. Parachute owners may assist TSA screeners to unpack and repack the rig. Carry the Parachute on the Aircraft Pack the rig separately without any other items in the bag. Additional items, if suspicious, could trigger an inspection of the entire bag. If a further search is required, all efforts will be made to search the item without out opening the chute(s). If a chute is opened, the owner can assist. The search may be done in a location away from the checkpoint to provide adequate space for the search, and space for the owner to repack the rig. Parachutists should thoroughly inspect their parachutes at their destination to ensure that it has not been tampered with or damaged in a manner that renders it unsafe Coming soon to a bowl of Wheaties near you!! -
This might be helpful, go to the TSA home page at www.TSA.gov, put "parachute in the search box and then choose the top choice, it reads: Travelers & Consumers Transporting Special Items Parachutes Skydiving rigs with and without Automatic Activation Devices (AAD) are permitted as a carry-on or as checked luggage.
