  9. T -10,,,for my first 3 jumps,,, then a red and black and white 28" lopo. for about 15 more First main I ever owned was a Green and black and white French Papillon.......in a stylemaster rig,,,chest mount reserve.... shot some good downwind accuracy with that papillon..
  10. It seems that you have the soul and the energy of a skydiver good for you...
  11. When considering the cost and logistics to "to move troops and equipment all around the world" it has always disappointed me,, that we ( as a country) cannot provide basic shelter and FOOD to all of our OWN citizens....( think poor, and homeless) .....as a higher priority.. We watch as starvation and disease kill MILLIONS,,, world wide... We can move aircraft , battle groups, equipment and man power,,,ANY where on this planet within 24 hours notice,, yet we cannot get medical supplies or clean drinking water to where it is needed...( well we CAN,,, we just DON'T) Are the ethnic warlords in Africa or the renegades in Central and South America, any Less ruthless than Saddam??? when they rampage a village,,, wipe out all living inhabitants,, and then burn the place down????... Unfortunately those places and those people have nothing of value to offer us,,, so we (for the most part ) turn our backs.....Millions, and billions of $$$$ spent to make war..... and very little spent to make peace.... We should not be running around,, reacting to symptoms,,,( dictators, terror lunatics, and semi- stable countries with powerful weapons) when it would be more productive to try to treat the root causes ( religious differences, territorial disputes, and human rights violations)... It seems to me that many years ago the US was providing (or more accurately,,, selling) much of our expertise in weapons creation,, and in military tactics and aggression, to some of these locations in the world which have ( suddenly ) become a problem.... (Korea for instance,,Latin America as well)...Man I just shudder when I think of how many jump planes could be built for the cost of ONE Apache,,,"seek and destroy" machine..... Sad... but that is the world in which we live ..... I do not mean to sound unpatriotic,, or unsupportive of the goverments current policy,,, but I come from the "make love not war" generation... Ok let the reactions and the responses fly....I can handle a critique'...... jmy
