  1. problem is its kinda hard to hand someone there ass when they are an ass.... Marc Res Firma Mitescere Nescite
  2. Well, you can climb in both countries...lots of good climbing in both countries...obviously I am a mountaineer...I am not really a fan of rock climbing but I love a good technical Ice climb...alot of the "Trekking Peaks" are ALOT harder than the name implies...alot of them are very technical...at least in Nepal...now on the southern island of NZ you have alot of better choices for beginning mountaineering....and safer...the problem with Nepal...is 1. it is a gamble as to weather you can handle the altitude...even people that come from basicly sea level and are really healthy there physicology just can't get along with it...even in the "relatively" lower altitude of Khatmandu... with New Zealand...even the top of there highest peak (Mt.Cook) is lower than the city of Khatmandu.... so All in all if you aren't used to altitude I would say go to NZ south island...Christchurch...you will have more choices of what to do than anywhere... now as far as travel companies or contacts...When I went to Nepal it was for work...so I tended to get to know the locals and use there support and sherpa network for help and guidance....plus alot of reading and studying...so I can't really guide you in that regard...sorry... In NZ you have a huge choice of people to go to...even if you just hopped a plane there...(Auckland) then hopped an Ansett flight down to christ church..when you get into your hotel they have a ton of "adventure" stores and guideservices...even helicopter skiing snowboarding....and climbing with helicopter service...I even did a cool hunting/fishing trip called the 2/2/2 I bagged two Blue Marlin off the coast of NZ, then was flown by helicopter to hunt for two Red Dear..got those then went to Lake Taupo....and caught two of the biggest stinkin trout I have ever scene in my life...the thing it though I did all this in less than 24 hours....awesome day...and a ton of fun..if your into that, that is...

  3. Personaly I would go to Khatmandu, Nepal...I have been there 5 times and can NOT get enough of the place...if you have three weeks you could do a couple of the trekking peaks there...maybe two weeks you could do it depending on how well you get used to altitude...I have done quite a few up there...Nepal is great for eastern philosaphie peeps like myselfe...very mystical in many ways...and the Himalayas will leave you with dirt marks on your chin as it bounces off the floor from WOW factor....yeah.... one other place you might want to go to is New Zealand...I lived in Hamilton for about a year working as a flight paramedic...it is an adventurous persons wonderland.....I used to surf in the morning (with tons of dolphins around) and snow board in the afternoon...man I love that place....this place...just like Nepal...postcards just do not do it justice...and WOW factor is always there in many ways....to see that a some higher power was at work in amazing ways....beauty that just doesnt quit..and then some.... adios....amigo...plus if ya like Rugby..NZ is the place to be...and June, July, August would be perfect for that....

  12. My brother is going through this right now...he just finished his second summer of OCS for the jarines...he goes to riddle full time. He was told he got a fixed wing contract but was warned that if the Marines decide they need rotary wing pilots....bang he will be there regardless of what the military promised..as they said it will be in the best interest of the corp....sucks big time...but he hopes he will do it...and even if he can't fly Fighters he figures a P-3 slot or Viking slot will be better than flying those damn helichoppers...as the big three at least dont recognize rotoray wing time for application...

  14. Heya JT, not much to tell really. I got to the DZ right after work...put my gear on and manifested for the first load for a hop n pop from 5,000. I didnt care which aircraft it was on...All I wanted to do was get back out there.....put my stuff on, my brand new freefly suit on..and did a nice stable exit at the appropriate altitude and we were at a perfect spot too...nice 10 second delay and I pulled...was all purdy up above so played around with the hornet...next thing you know I am getting in the patern and standing it up right in the fricken PEA'S!!!! now mind you this is the pre second time I have landed in the peas....I usualy on purpose tend to land out further away from traffic...I can put it down where I want, I just prefer to avoid any chance of collision and avoid the traffic by landing out...only person in the air with me at the time was a level 8 student... all in all, a great skydive...only thing is it wasnt at Deland..it was in Sebastian...but other than that...it did help my confidence some...but I am not one to bounce back really quick from something like that..
