  1. I need some info for a short paper I am writing on the impact of general aviation on my life. What part of the FARs do most dropzone's aircraft operate under? Would a large DZ with a diverse fleet operate under a diferent part than small cessna DZ? Thanks It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  2. I'm looking for the title and artist of a song I heard on the radio. It can be classified as either a rock/reagge hybrid (think Sublime) or straight up reagge. I believe it is a new song by a new artist, but I'm not sure. Vague description, but its the best I've got. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  3. I'm a reformed gear head myself. I wish I had all the money back that I shit away fucking around with cars. Your truck runs and is paid for,so leave it be and use the money for something else. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  4. Dude.. he was a Jew.... WTF.. can we have a holiday for Jews??? There are; Yom Kippur, Roshana, ect. I grew up in NY and got those days off from school. I moved to the south and started working of the federal gov't and lost those days off. It was a real culture shock. When you talk to people around here about knowing Jews you might as well be talking about Martians Also: IBTL It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.

  14. The immature fuckwad in me can't resist responding to this, even though I find most of your posts repulive and I hate to admit it, but sometimes I even like to give myself a dutch oven. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  15. I'm going to act like a responsible adult for once, and go to school. I already made the decision before I started this thread, I just wanted to be talked out of it. If I had went to college after high school like a normal person, I wouldn't be in this spot
  16. Is that a vote for jumping or school? It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  17. Option #1: Go to school saturday and sunday, no jumping, miss bitchin' party at DZ Option #2: Skip school, jump & party Background: I still don't have the text for the class, (eat shit half.com) got tasked with a last minute reading assignment and two quizes due tomorrow and two more quizes on Sunday.

  18. Dawn I'm going to increase your SA and let you know that an OPFOR is an opposing force. Eventually they become either EPWs or KIA It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  19. This incident and the civil rights struggle are not even the same thing. Its offensive that you would even suggest it. No muslim in this country has to ride in the back of the bus or use a different water fountian than I do and their children can go to whatever school they please.

  20. Rhino, my man, you are wound waaaayyyy too tight. I agree that their behavior was certainly odd and I would have made the same call as the guys on the scene. I just think praying during a game is really weird, unless they were praying for the Giants, then its totally cool with me. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  21. Obviously terrorists, true football fans would never leave a game to pray. WTF. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  22. Up jumpers are on their own as far as i'm concerned they have been trained and know the risks. But when a student dies shit better come to a screeching halt untill the cause of the mishap is determined. They come to the DZ and don't know jack shit trusting the DZO and instructors to train them properly and mitigate the risk involved to the greatest extent possible. As a DZO I would not be comfortable at all until I knew WTF went wrong. Did some crazy person get loose in the gear room and sabotage my equipment? Is the new packer I hired paking some serious mals? Was my instructor negligent? These are all questions I need answers to before I'm letting students back in the air. Look, I've been in military aviation for 10 years, and every time a bird goes down due to anything other than hostile fire, fatality or not, we take a fleet wide break to validate our procedures and verify that there isn't an underlying problem with our equipment. If we can do that and still provide assets to defend the country, a DZO can sure as shit stop operations for a day and canx a costume party until some poor bastard's remains are pulled out of the woods. To do anything else is unprofessional, reckless, callous, and stupid. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  23. Yes it is a joke hence the smiley. There is no such thing as an APMAL Thank You! I may try to pick up my rig on Thursday, depending on when I wrap up a few things down here. It doesn't matter if a cat is black or white, as long as it catches mice.
  24. I believe the right thing for a DZO to do in a situation like this is to immediately make an announcement about the fatality and suspend jump operations for the day. Especially if a student goes in. If some one dies and a member of the drop zone's staff and the drop zone's gear is involved, I believe it would be just plain reckless to continue to jump that day until a preliminary investigation is complete. If a member of my family was killed doing a tandem and the DZ continued to operate that day I would be very upset. If I came back that night and there was a party being thrown while my loved ones body was still missing I'd kill everyone there and burn the place to the fucking ground. I don't know what the policies at either of the drop zones I jump at are, but I'd really hope they would show more compassion and class than the place that was involved in this incident did.

  25. Darrin, I guess thats what you get for working in the head shed. Please refer to the "no good deed goes unpunished" clause in your enlistment contract. Dawn, I'll bring you a copy of my APMAL (Approved Military Acronym List) the next time I'm at the DZ so you can keep up with the conversation.
