    It's about 8 miles long up either channel depending on how much rain occurred for the year. It happens to the best of us as we get older, Chuck. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  2. True 'dat. I checked with an attorney in Oklahoma and even if both parents sign and they are not of the age of legal majority... parents cannot waive a child's right to sue. Not to mention Child Protective Services. Therefore, no less than 18 y/o anymore for me. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

    Yup, hence the "job" to sock money away. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  4. I had an interesting situation where the father brought in his 16 y/o daughter to make a S/L jump. We're going thru the paper work and he tells me, "Yeah, we're going to do this and not tell her Mom cause she wouldn't allow it. I ask if he's the legal guardian and if he has his divorce papers awarding him custody. Nope, Mom's got custody. Sorry... have a good day. He was all torqued at me... But, I wasn't willing to place the DZ in jeopardy. Heck, even if she twigged her ankle, who knows what legal actions would have ensued.

    Have ya ever been to Temple?!?!? She's right. There's two small lakes (of which one goes into Ft. Hood), "A" golf course, "A" country club, "A" University... you get the idea. Now might be a good time to look at furthering education or getting an extra job and socking the money away. There's nuthin I tells ya, nothing.

  7. Glad it worked out. Did you know there's a Texas _in_ Australia? Not a joke... Just outside Queensland. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  8. Big.. You know the DZ. You know the Student. You know the student "said," "My Instructor told me... " and that his Instructor probably didn't. Contact the DZ directly via email and explain it instead of the third-party DZ.com, some Instructor in Texas, contact me with the student's name, etc. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

  10. Perp: You have the right to remain silent. Anything you say can and will be used against you in a court of law. You have the right to an attorney, if you cannot afford one, one will be provided to you by the state. Do you understand these rights as I've read them to you? Rape Victim: You have the right to be charged for a rape kit. C'mon! Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  11. I see this not so much as a pilot's cranial rectum inversion as much as a training issue. He was at 6-7K, load of jumpers which was a new experience for him, engine shits the bed. With 500 hours, I don't "think" he was asking what to do with the A/C, I "think" he was asking what to do about the skydivers on board the A/C when the engine shit the bed. A communication issue. A lack of training in airborne operations issue. Some DZO's don't have formalized training regarding skydiving operations when a new pilot walks on the tarmac and has never even had people hanging out the door before to see what kind of new and exciting challenges THAT can bring. And, it's not like we don't have enough aero types (pilots, engineers, etc.) that someone couldn't start a committee to formalize that training and even make it A/C specific. Include skydiver emergency exits in the training. Do some actual training once a year, twice a year... anyway... my $.02.

  12. Her name is Bigun too? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  13. How many repacks on the reserve? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  14. You're not "just" a student; you're also a customer. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  15. If you're not gonna respect your elders; perhaps you'll respect your betters. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  16. Yeah, well if I had to choose between NWTC at Black Rapids in January or Ft. Polk.... Oh wait, I didn't have a choice in that either. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  17. Who'd you piss off? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  18. Yup. That's exactly what I'm saying. Can't even say I've ever been to their website. If you'll review my discussions; you'll notice most of them have been from a perspective of technical expertise or an opinion defending the second admendment. Believing in the second amendment and the right to bear arms is not equal to being a member of the NRA. I also believe in the Freedom of Choice even if one "chooses" to be gay, but am not a member of Gay Rights either.

  19. She's a pretty smart lady. Mean too. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  20. Your accusations are without merit. I am not, never have been, nor will ever be a member of the NRA. I do not know who Ginny Simone is nor even heard of her before today. As I stated, it was presented as received - that's it. Nothing nefarious about it. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  21. Ahhhh, got 'em. Thanks Mike. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  22. Brother, I can SO relate. It's been 18 years since I was mobilized for Desert Storm. I can remember every minute of it as though it was yesterday, but can't remember what the HELL I did with my car keys five minutes ago.

  23. I did no such thing. I presented the title and the video in total as received without comment for one's own interpretation. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  24. They are not saying get a 170 canopy. What they are saying is to consider getting a container that will house down from a 190 to a 170. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
  25. But, isn't that what you did? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
