Not long ago, Mom (a Korean War vet) started posting on several boards looking for old friends with whom she served... then FB came along and now all these ladies were able to find each other and do just what you're doing AND THEY ARE LOVING IT!!! Hardly a day goes by where Mom isn't telling me some story about this one or that one. Have fun Wendy. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Frequent travel may be required The mere fact that they had to put this in the description tends to make one think that it was a problem for one/some after entering the program.... ya know, like on Desert Storm when I had all those "now, wait a second, I joined for the college benefits, or to learn a trade (these were 11C's, mind you)... I didn't join the Army to go To WAR!!!! Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Had to be, no way can the guy picking up the note declare he is loosing $4mill. Unless he writes off the depreciation of the property being $4mill the first year. I'm not sure, but the box seats in the stadium was nice and the food did not suck! But it's a nice way to transfer / sell property with out all of that tax crap the rest of us have to deal with! As Borrat would say "Verrrrry nice, Verrrrry nice!" As for a manager getting a bump in pay if you lay people off? Simple, reduce the work force by 10% keep the same level of output production collect bonus for saving the company money. What's so hard about that? It's called cutting the fat off the system. Problem is when you have cut away all the fat and are not cutting bone. I know I get a bump every time I find a way to save money for my office. How big a bump do you get if you let yourself go?

Well, when I got home, I did practice repacking the chute over and over and over (tossing it out in between) and never had a hard pull before or after. I'm not really sure why it bunched on me. I've been using Germain's method as well since I started. I think I'm a little shook up in that I would have liked my response better had I actually checked my alt after try #2. In my head I was thinking, if this doesn't work, I've got to go to the reserve. But like what was just mentioned above, I could have been lower than I thought. So, mentally, I guess I'll be drilling alt checks after each attempt should that ever come up again. Not sure what else I could do to prep for such a thing. Please realize the rule of two is written in the blood of those gone before you. Not trying to re-write rules or pretend they don't apply to me. Just curious on views on the matter, and if I should have done something totally different, I just want to know. Also, FWIW, http://www.dropzone.com/safety/emergencies/emergency_deployment.shtml seems to say 2 different things (which is also why I'm asking for clarification). Under hard pull, it says to try 3 total times (original plus 2 tries to clear), but under trapped pilot chute, it's only 2 total times (original plus 2 vigorous) EDIT: I _think_ what Dan and Mike (authors) were referring to was the older main ripcord handle - not the newer throw-out.

1. Yeah, I've been wondering about exactly that. How so/why so? 2. I text a lot, so I guess one thing about the Blackberry is the fact that it has real buttons to type with, not just the screen. Am I putting too much stock in that? I am open to change. iPhone4 keyboard, Slide-Out Bluetooth Keyboard Of course, once you start using the landscape keyboard on the iPhone, there's not much difference. My typing on the iPhone landscape keyboard is much faster than it was on the BB QWERTY. I like the iPhone's first, Androids second, and the BB is going the way of the Treo Palm.

Is this a justified attitude about employment?
BIGUN replied to Heatmiser's topic in Speakers Corner
1. What was the "employment agreement" when s/he accepted the job? 2. After their company reads the FB posting; perhaps they will find a better job... unless their next employer reads their FB posting. I honestly have no idea what the employment agreement is. I am pretty positive it did not include slowing production of whatever his output is to the point that the employer has to spend more money for the same results. I could be wrong. I haven't been in his shoes in a long time. I started in an industry (painting) as a bottom of the barrel helper. I did have opportunity to move up and increase, but the way that happened was I excelled at my current position. I can't say how much the opportunity to improve motivated me. I have always had the attitude that if someone is paying me money for a task, I'm going to give my best in completing that task. If I receive anything extra, that is exactly what it is. Extra. -

My S/O gets the new 4S and we're laying around having fun with it... ya know testing out things to ask. I finally ask the phone, "Where can I get a blowjob?" It immediately responds with the nearest escort service and a Google map point... Doc throws a hand in the air and says, "Of course, it would have an answer for THAT!!!!!" I replied, "What I find interesting is that - it had an answer and you did not." It was a dry night that night. But, worth it.

safety procedure - premature canopy opening during exit
BIGUN replied to Skyper's topic in Safety and Training
Yup, I was more than happy to have my perspective on the ground, than yours - right there. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -
The name of such a jerk should be placed on a black list available on all dropzones together with his mugshot. His bad if he dares to turn up somewhere - that's begging for a good spank then. He was a third time felon and fess'd up to a dozen or so Xmas snatch & grabs. Last I heard he got six years in Big Mac. I'm sure the beatings began not long after his arrival.

safety procedure - premature canopy opening during exit

What John said... This is of the 2004 WFFC which most of us have seen a dozen times, but for those new to the sport... How fast is fast? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=imo3Nip-slc Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -
Right on target. Might mention that if you have an AAD; to send the S/N to the manufacturer. Sidebar: My girlfriend did this when her gear was stolen. Police Officer pulls over a car for DUI, asks them to open the trunk. Cop sees the rig, helmet, suit, etc. sans logbook and happens to be a (less than 100 jumps) new skydiver. Busted.

I too, am a big fan of Rugers, but I don't know if you guys have ever come across a British Enfield MK1 Jungle Carbine 303. Wound up being one of the best deer rifles I ever owned and can still be picked up for a couple of hundred bucks.
