Max. speed of relative wind
GQ_jumper replied to VincentVL.'s topic in General Skydiving Discussions
There can also be a curtain shield that comes down over the face. Quote the F4 had this and I believe the 14 may have it too, it's connected to the rubber bailout handles at the top of the seat slightly behind the head, when the pilots would pull the handle they would pull them down in front of their face and hold them back, they would use the curtain to push their head against the seat to protect their neck, pretty neat idea.

Hillary Tells Bush to End War Before 08 Elections
GQ_jumper replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
OK then... how about this.. lets have a vote in the military about who wants to stay in Iraq.. and who wants to go home..... Those who want to stay indefinitely to achieve victory get to stay and fight the evil doers... and those of you who wish to exist in a perpetual war can do so. Quote It cracks me up that I took the time to write a well thought out post that doesn't just complain about a situation it offers up a fairly logical solution and the only thing people on the other side of the fence can do is make emotionally driven sarcastic comments rather than offering up an alternative solution. come on Amazon, a vote in the military, your post was nothing more than a shot at me. Don't you have anything better to do with your time. and honestly if they did take a vote I think you'd be surprised at how many are willing to stay.

Hillary Tells Bush to End War Before 08 Elections
GQ_jumper replied to rushmc's topic in Speakers Corner
One thought about this magical timeline that the Dems. keep talking about when it comes to getting us out of Iraq. A set timeline for getting out is the wrong answer, all this would do is make the public happy. Remember when the invasion first kicked off, two weeks after we crossed the border the public was bitching and crying about why we hadn't defeated the Iraqi military yet, They looked back at '91 and figured it would be exactly the same. Well it was far different, instead of trying to push the Iraqis out of a country they were occupying(which the Iraqi troops didn't want to be in anyways so they didn't put up a fight) we were rolling onto their home turf. So we had more ground to cover, more soldiers to fight, and their morale was far higher because they were defending their homeland, obviously this would take more time before we controlled the ground. Unfortunately a good number of people couldn't figure this out and started complaining, they spoke like when you go to war you can stamp a timeline on it and that's exactly how long the war would last, no more, no less. Well now the Dems. are doing the same thing, they are talking about getting us out of Iraq on a set schedule, all you are doing there is asking for a guarantee of failure. We don't need a set timeline, we need a set of goals and milestones to accomplish, by all means throw down a plan to get us out, but dont put a single date on there, put what has to happen to achieve success and tie the withdrawl in with reaching those goals. All the Dems. are doing by asking for a timeline is playing the public for a fool, they think if they get troops out it doesn't matter how much of a mess they leave over there they still look like the party that won the war. And honestly IMO this makes them complete idiots, yeah sure Bush may not be the smartest man alive and he has made his fair share of mistakes, but a least he is not looking for meeting an agenda, he is looking for victory. And from the troops perspective what do you think would make us fight harder, someone saying "hey guys just hang in there for one more year and then you're all coming home" or someone saying "hey guys you make these things happen and you are out of there". I also hear everyone talking about "wasting" lives, or "sacrificing" more soldiers, well the only things that would be a waste would be to pull out now before we win leaving those deaths unanswered, if we come out victorious those deaths were anything but in vane, no soldier ever dies for nothing but it is very disrespectful to the dead to give up on the fght they gave their lives for. Look back at Somolia, we lose 18 men and Clinton tucks his dick between his legs and runs, all the Rangers over there were begging to stay and finish the fight, but the politician wanted to play to the favor of the public. And that's exactly what's happening now, the Dems. want to make the voters happy so they can win in the next election and the Republican's want to still find a way out, but ensure victory along the way.

Obviously the climate of the planet is not going to remain the same forever, the planet is always changing and there's countless factors that conrtibute to it.

Not really, the way i look at it personally, find where you are comfortable and take it a step further. If you are comfortable on a rookie team, have your team step up to A class, go beyond your comfort zone and push yourselves. And make sure you are getting good advice and coaching along the way, stepping outside your comfort zone when you have a good mentor to guide you will increase your learning curve, or at least that's how I feel, I'm sure there's some other far more experienced people around here that will chime in when they get a chance. just don't foget to have fun, whatever you decide History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

You'd be amazed at what you can do with little/no sleep, some of my best physical performances have happened after being up for a few days. I say go for it, the worst that happens, you have a better understanding of how far you can push yourself and you get some decent cardio out of it.

Why, so you'll be hung over when you get there? What's the point in that? Just keep drinking until it's time to leave, you'll be fine. Quote I like the way you think!!!

Everyone who is not paid off already knows exactly how much CO2 affects the climate and that global warming has nothing to do with the sun. Quote I agree with you completely, that giant flaming ball of gas far larger than our planet has nothing to do with the temperature here on Earth. Like when I step out of the shade and into the sun, that's not the sun that I feel, I have stepped into a pocket of global warming, coincidentally all pockets of global warming are located in direct sight of the sun. I'm not arguing for or against global warming due to burning fossil fuels, but just because someone offers a different theory does that automatically mean said person has been paid off to say that. The last time I checked the sun is primarily responsible for creating that phenomenon known as heat on this wonderful little planet, so wouldn't it be understandable if changes in the output of the sun affected us here on Earth? Ro am I talkin crazy talk here, sun warming the Earth, maybe I should go back on my meds. History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D. Eisenhower

Javelin's rock, IMO the best man-portable anti-tank weapon in the world, we had a team trying to hold a pass near Debeka during the invasion, they had two unarmored humvees and a handful of Jav's and managed to hold off and entire company of Iraqi tanks, from what I understand without even using the thermal capabilities they made 12 of 14 Jav shots, not too shabby, 10 guys on foot vs. a company of tanks History does not long entrust the care of freedom to the weak or the timid. --Dwight D.

That's alien to a lot of youQuote Gee don't hold yourself too high and mighty, come to think of it, wouldn't taking the moral high ground involve NOT making insults like this? or do you have cheat days for your morals, kind of like I do for my diet?

The Dems are going to blow it in the next 2 years. Then, hopefully, we'll get some moderate Republicans in power (assuming that's not an oxymoron). Quote Who cares what party they are registered with, so long as they can look at things reasonably instead of with blinders on as both sides do today

School, Teen Clash Over Medieval Photo
GQ_jumper replied to warpedskydiver's topic in Speakers Corner
Not saying I support the school on this one, the kid is doing something that has a learning value to it, but to play the devil's advocate, imagine the door that this would open for someone who wanted to express their passion for a less constructive hobby. I'm sure there is a kid in this high school aspiring to be the next great ganster rapper who is just itching to submit a photo which could be the cover of his first album, a pic with him holding an uzi, there's plenty of other examples that come to mind, this was just the first. I think both sides need to meet in the middle on this one, the no tolerance policy is just too much for anyone's good.
