True. That falls into the "information" category and is just good business practice. I'm talking about when I get an email that says something like, "So, what do I tell them?" or "Why should I offer them this over that?" which would take me five minutes on the phone versus 30 minutes of typing a response as to this versus that Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Why I don't like people just copying and pasting other people's work.
BIGUN replied to quade's topic in Speakers Corner
For the most part, I agree with you; although I must admit to being guilty of this myself a couple of times in SC. For example, as I was begininng my research into the whole "Green House" thing, I was of the position, "What's a couple of degrees over 100 years matter?" I tossed a url out there and asked for opinions without much more info since I was in the information-gathering stage.

I'm with you on this one. I had the text mssaging removed from my plan and I don't have an IM either . I feel the same way about emails. Them what works for me knows the rules. If you have a question - call. I will not have an email discourse when there's a phone on my desk and a cell on my hip. Email is for sending documentation and information. Phones are for conversations. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

To the other poster: I said it was _one_ of the reasons. Bill: Depends on where he is on the timeline. If he got it repacked last week and it went unnoticed and there were a cutaway - perhaps nothing If it was due this weekend on a 120 day cycle and went unnoticed - it would. If it was due this weekend on a 120 day cycle and that cycle were extended to 180 days, then it would go unnoticed for another 60 days...

This is exactly one of the reasons why I sent a letter of dissention to the FAA regarding the consideration of a 180 day pack cycle. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Pictures of a C-9a and Cessna 175
BIGUN replied to lekstrom10k's topic in Skydiving History & Trivia
Ya know, I kinda wondered about that. I didn't know if C9A meant parachute or A/C and didn't know of a C9A parachute, but when you spoke of 5 or 7TU, those I did know and when I saw the picture gallary of C9A aircraft - was kinda scratchin my head doin the math. Forty years is quite a feat and I wish you the best of times on your anniversary. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -

You choose... C-9a http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en&q=c-9a&btnG=Search+Images Cessna 175 http://images.google.com/images?gbv=2&svnum=10&hl=en&q=cessna+175 You can "Right Click" on the picture and "Save Picture as.." (to your Desktop, My Pictures, etc.) Or, click on the picture which will take you to the big one on the web page and follow the same procedure (right click, save picture as). Sorry, if you already knew this... you asked for easy. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -

Yes, 20 sq.ft. is that much of a difference. Believe it or not; the difference between going from the 288 to the 220 was not as significant as going from a 210 to a 190 will be. After awhile, 10 sq.ft. will be an exponential difference. There's been more than one experienced skydiver who've gone down 10 sq.ft. only to wind up injured or scared enough to sell their new canopy and upsize.

It uses Fedora Linux. Same looking "environment" as the new improved Vista or Mac OS.

In addition to the suggestions above, there are several reputable riggers who will allow you to ship your rig to them (SDD, Derek (HooknSwoop on here), Chuting Star, SkyWorks, Etc. Etc.).

Five Years Ago Tomorrow Night, I threw one hell of a party...

Desert Storm seems like yesterday; not 17 years ago. It's reached the point where I'm afraid to go take a dump and lose another 5 years. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -
I think the 3 year "in-sport" rule is a good one and should be the same with all Instructor Ratings. Course, some of that went "POOF" when they changed the JM to I ratings. The short course to this is; I'm with you on, "It's time for change. Lots of it in Skydiving Instruction." Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

It's not about the main, it's about the reserve. Does it have to be a 7 Cell ZP, rather than a 9 cell? How many jumps does he have? If you're looking for something comprable to a HALO rig, Depending on the person's experience, W/L, etc.,,, You could get by with a Rig that's TSO'd at 300# A Manta 288 ZP (9 Cell) Square A PD 281 Reserve. Send me a PM with phone numbe to discuss.... Fellow SERE Instructor - 1985 Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
