I raced for 10 years in the WERA series and ran as high as 180 on the banks of Daytona and never had tunnel vision. Is this a strait line thing? But he knew he was in the shit. Ducked off the highway, then tried to get back on when the local police showed up in front. I got a 135mph ticket in NC once. I was scrubbing in tires for the Rockingham race on the clover leaf out side of Fayeteville. I would do 2 or 3 laps than back to the shop swap rims and out again. Worked good for about 3 hours then blam! blue was a sitten under the pass a awaiten' on me! Youth, we sure are dumb when young aint we? An Instructors first concern is student safety.

Your avator, that post, my dirty mind... I need to head out for a smoke! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I was a little young then but if I recall correctly. President Jimmy Carter gavea free pass to all DRAFT DODGERS. He did not such thing for Deserters. The difference of course is the Dodgers never registered and the Deserters left after reporting and being in uniform. A tip of the ice cold beer to you Namgrunt. It is an Honor, my Honor.

I have had simular experiences here in "Tuckasee". The locals and the Army are getting pretty good at showing their support and following through with their commitments. The job of telling a family, is one of complete humility and your son should be well respected for it. My hats of to him. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

The event your talking about was not an actual club OP. It was SF GRP OP that allowed the Club to "strap hang". The CPT in question was USPA licensed. He was also in charge of the OP. The Former Club manager tried to make do by providing his plane FREE of charge to the Club. He just wanted to get people, who wanted to, to jump. Unfortunatly it is closed fore ever due to a lack of cutomers. There is a want and need for it but the rotation cycle over seas and back just can't keep it running.

"The apparatus to your front is the slam dunk, it is a 12 foot platform.......oops, I mean the Swing Landing Trainer is a 12 foot..." I loved the looks on the Students faces when I did that. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

What is funny is I have jumped in a Hurricane while wearing a Hurricane!. It is a silly story and not as exciting as it may sound, nor as dangerous. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Some times I am not clear in my points and my mind wonders.... ooh cheese! Sorry, what ? An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

I log all my jumps. It depends on how busy I am on when and how, but I do long all of them. Since it is my hobby and a part of my military job sometime in my "hobby" log book it may say something like "8 jumps from TM III manifest" and I will add all the data to the 1 entry and carry on from there. I still log so that it will help (hope fully) get me the post retirement job. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Is that the show "I shouldn't be Alive"? SHe got lucky her and her BF should have listened to the DZo who said "no". This will be my 1 and only post on the whole subject. Now I am off to SC to be ENLIGHTENED! An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

That is why you teach your students to rotate the hips in either direction 45 degrees, to make it a right front or left front. Front PLF's are easier and IMO safer than rears. Sides are easiest to perform, again just my opinion. (My Opinion is based on 150 Military Static Line jumps and 20 years experience in the Airborne, including 4+ years as a Black Hat.)

All my hard helmets have a simular paint scheme. Navy blue base with varing shade of blue flames. 1 Factory Diver and 2 Hurricanes. I like your's, cool look. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

And that is just TRAINING for the REAL jump. For the Real jump add more weight, take the altitude down to 500' and remove the reserve, as it is optional then. Oh, and lets not forget the eradic flight to avoid potential surface to air missiles. Also you will be a 1 man War machine for a while, till you and your buddies link up and THEN the job really begins. Oh the memories. An Instructors first concern is student safety.

I told Ben that very thing today. I told him SGC would be a good draw and there are a few amusment parks not to far away as well as a big city or two. If he did build one I would be there working at the DZ and the Tunnel. If I could get along with y'all that is. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Ah, the fond memories. I remember those times 40 below on the range shooten and scooten. 3 years in Alaska was something I would not trade.

MR? Where? Just kidden' I still owe ya a beer! or two! Now, how do we as a citizenry (real word?) fix this mess our GOV got us into? An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Wow! What a mess of a Document. No, I didn't read it all but, I did read all the sub titles and read alot of the gobble-d-gook called a bill. Why do we as a country allow our reps to attach some pretty off stuff to bills? This is to be for our protection but there is stuff that I do not think have a real close attachment to terrorism, I could be wrong. Drugs to finance ok, but a Meth lab in the hills of TN? It is a Terrible drug but how many orgs are funding a net work over it. OK, So I see the point now. I see the bill has big isues and needs to be cleaned yet even more. The intent was good, but thats where it seemed to go wrong. The one good deal was the allowance for the different law and intelligance agencies to share info. Now, if they would just do that. Personally, I think my record and current position will show the GOV I am not a threat. 'Gale, Sorry to hear the truble typo added to a law has caused you. I do wish I had a remedy for you.

Prof. I do have dignaty, but how is it effected if I DON'T KNOW? Lawrocket, That is my point, I just don't know so how am I affected? If I am arrested then I would know, but chances are, if arrested, I may have done some thing to warrant it. I still have yet to meet some one who was affected (even here) (now I have met some one here affected by this and it is truly fritening that this could screw a life up so much). So since there are good quality links to use I will read them. If My opinion changes I will let you know. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!

Sounds more like sex crimes than patriot acts issues to me. It hasn't effected me so I have nothing t ocompare, not even the dignaty arguement. Maybe I just don't get that exited over it? or maybe I can see the intent and hope fully it will be fixed to work with out having the dignaty of some citizens being soiled. Nothing was aimed at any one or to be derogatory. An Instructors first concern is student safety. So, start being safe, first!!!
