I have never fully misrouted a chest strap that I didn't notice on gear check, but once I did open my chest strap to the stop, in the plane, and forgot to retighten it before exit. It's a sick feeling to watch the shoulders of your rig just keep getting farther and farther apart on opening. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Yeah, I think not letting your kids know the score is important. When I was a kid, they let me see my test scores and I instantly knew I was propping up the entire class(very small school). This led to me slacking off because I knew the administration and teachers would leave me alone as long as I performed on test day. In all honesty the only reason I managed to graduate high school is that Oklahoma has a 2.0 minimum GPA if you want to play sports, and I was into football and academic team. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Yeah, but you know how boring society would be if it had a healthy attitude towards sex?

really. i didn't know that? how? on a PC rig? At our DZ we have a few ripcord rigs with spring loaded pilot chutes that have an FXC 12000 set to pull the main pin. However, we call this an AOD and still have an AAD on the reserve. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

my glue trapped mouse was still alive after spending the night in glue. it's face was firmly planted in the glue and it was still alive. not calling you a liar or a dumbass, just relating my experience. Hmm, all mine died overnight, but I gues YMMMV. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Well the permission is cool, but the prep work is done on a daily basis at 51 and any other "secret" facility that has stuff that might be spotted by spy sats. You know when the eye in the sky is comign so you make sure to iether move everyhtign or cover it. FWIW, I think 51 is more a red herring these days than anything. The current rumors say the really bleeding edge stuff is being tested in the TX/OK panhandles region. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

It won't starve or die of dehydration. It will eventually just get exhausted from fighting and lay its head down in the glue at which point it aphysiates(sp?). Not instantaneous, but not a days logn ordeal either. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

I ordered a Safire II back in mid-2004, a time when a lot of the bad blood comes from. I was told to expect an approximately 6 week turn around time. After about 10 weeks I began trying o contact them without any luck. Finally after about 15 weeks I found the email for the factory and contacted the factory directly. Turns out that they were having trouble with one of their suppliers as every batch of silver zp they were recieivng was failing the inital QC test. This had been communicated to Icarus US several weeks before so that I could be given the option of changing colors, but I'd never been notified. I had my dealer contact the factory directly to do the color change and I had my canopy within three weeks. Now move into 2005 and the reorganization at Icarus US. I had a major issue with my canopy and Icarus was very prompt in their response and after the issue was resolved, I felt I had recieved great customer service. Back in 2004 I swore I'd never buy another Icarus product, but the changes they made in 2005 have convinced me to give them another shot. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

It's all in the form of yes/no type questions and it's not a true lie detector it just measures some physiological resposnes that are statisitcally associated with truth or lies. Being nervous really screws with the test. When I was in high school I applied for a CIA scholarship and had to take a polygraph. I was so nervous that even the true answers were reading inconclusive. It took 8 hours before they got results they were satisified with. I was so stressed at that point, I was ready to admit to shooting Kennedy or anything else as long as it meant it was over In the end it was all for naught. My mom was so scared of what could happen to me that she called in a marker with the county's most read newspaper and they did a story on me being considered by the CIA. After that, I never heard another word from them. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Hey I resemb... err resent that remark! Actually I figure that sicne I've under 40, that makes me a /pre/vert!

What about Dire Straits' "Mone for nothing"? The lyrics could be saterical and there's definitely some high impact musci in there that just begs to be mated to failed swoops. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Like anybody's going to believe this, but... I have a friend who swears the flick The Coketeer is the best porn ever. He's spent like the last three years trying to find a copy with no luck. If anybody has a copy of this they'd be willing to part with, PM me with an asking price as i'd like to make it a belated X-mas present. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Don't think they are near Sill. Last I heard it was mostly in the western subs of OKC -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Ah well, I guess I'll just resign myself to getting owned at BHD, and BF 2.

No, but I can tell you they don't know jack about CQB(close quarters battle) by the way they moved into that compound---straight up amateurs If it's not a violation of some security thing, care to expand for those of us with no experience that are reguarly getting are asses handed to us by our nieces and nephews in the current batch of FPS games?

Yeah, but a huge amount of the budget went in to the gratitous eye candy in the battle between the Feds and the Reavers. A $20 Mil budget is not unreasonable for an upper tier movie in the current generation of straight to DVD movies, and would eb more than adequate. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Am I the only one catching the irony of the gy saying that "timeless Characters" need "a breath of fresh air"? -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

Actually it looks decent. Foreign box office were a big help and when you figure in DVD sales the film should eek into the black. Currently it looks like at least one more movie will be made but the smart odds are o it being a straight to DVD release. The interesting question is how they are going to work Book and Wash intot he plot(eveyrone's already signed contracts for it includign those two). -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

It's called a CONEX(Container expendable). You see them on freight trains, cargo ships and even backs of semi's all the time. As far as I know, no one is flying them recreationaly anymore. Last time I saw one used was in the filming of the movie Swordfish. Didn't SDC have one for Spring Expo year ebfore last? -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

It's also the only US helo to hold the dubious distinction of having shot itself down once. -Blind "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

I jump with an ex-Green Beret who got passed over for the less experienced Kittenger because he was enlisted and at the last moment they decided they wanted an officer. Or at least that's his story. -Jackmc "If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."
