Hmmm... Old school, static-line days, pre-tunnel learning shit. I'm feeling a bit emotional right now. Can I get a hug? Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Trying to isolate it on the 'net will be difficult. My suggestion would be to have a Coach or good vidiot go with you to get on-the-spot corrective measures. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Please be sure to add to: http://www.dropzone.com/stolen/ Sticky's drop off after awhile, but stolen gear may remain as such longer. As one who's had a friend have gear stolen, I can tell you listing the stolen gear on here, with the police, with USPA and with SSK helps. The gear was recovered.

Not true unless what you said in 3 is true. My point. True. In which case some analysis needs to be done to see if it's 2 or 3. On a separate note, looks like I'll be jumping at Aerohio some again this Spring. See you there. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

We're in agreement, Rob. I was just presenting an objective discussion as to the school's of thought which stem from a few years ago when Xbraced came out. I think there's enough data now to indicate chopping and going to reserve right away is better than losing alti-awareness, chopping, getting stable and then going to silver.

First, you fill out your profile. Then, you can post it on the classifieds here. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/classifieds/page.cgi?g=Complete_Systems%2Findex.html&d=1 You may want to place an ad as such: Vector II Type XYZ, S/N 12234566 DOM: 1999 Fits someone 5'7" 185 # (Or whatever size you were then). Main: Sabre1 Colors S/N 12345678 DOM: 1999 Reserve: Raven II Color S/N 1234556677 DOM: 1999 AAD: Cypres1 S/N 1234143343 10 years old. DOM: 1999 No maintanence or battery changes in 6 years All this information will be on the reserve data packing card. People will want to know this to check it against the stolen gear databases.

Oh hell, we hate it. That's why we spend thousands, if not tens of thousands every year buying new gear, going to boogies, jump tickets, gas money, food, RV's, etc. I come from a dysfunctional family and we weren't allowed to explore new things as a child so I'm making up for it in my adulthood.

Cause he signed a contract - voluntarily. Unfortunately, once you sign the contract and put on the pickle suit, you don't get to pick and choose which conflicts you'd rather enjoy. It's for the "benefit" of the military; not the "benefit" of the soldier. And, this crap of being enticed by college benefits... give me a break. Now, sign right here, Johnny and we'll get you a cool looking gun, get you some training, call you a soldier and anytime you don't want to do that anymore, why you just raise your hand and we'll tear this little piece of paper up. I don't get it. If you don't want to serve, when and where the Army decides... DON'T SIGN THE DAMN CONTRACT. If you want to serve your country, but not in a military capacity - go do something else, Habitat for Humanity, Peace Corps, Red Cross, anything. There's some that's not right for the military... Why is it people spend more time researching the purchase of a car and reading every word on the contract than they do when making a life decision about joining the military?

How scared are you? There's several schools of thought and variables to consider. One school of thought are those who jump highly ellipticals (and who usually don't wear an RSL) and find themselves under a drastically spinning malfunction have concerns about chopping and continue spinning into the reserve deployment - will chop, get stable and then pull the reserve. There's a continuing debate as to if it's better to chop and pull right away (while still having some spin inertia) with a highly elliptical canopy or not. The second school of thought is those who don't jump highly elliptical canopies (who usually wear an RSL) will chop and go straight to the reserve handle since the RSL is going to "probably" [just a backup] pull the reserve cable anyway. The variables to consider are; 1) am I jumping a highly loaded elliptical, 2) am I wearing an RSL, 3) do I have enough time to chop, get stable and then pull (serious need for altitude awareness and some have decided poorly with this option), 4) am I CReW dog (whole 'nther discussion). At this point in your skydiving, it's best to discuss this with your Instructors. For awhile, you're probably going to be jumping either a student rig with an RSL or purchase a semi-elliptical without much weight-loading and it'll probably come with an RSL. One suggestion would be that until you get several hundred jumps - to do your emergency procedures as your Instructors taught you; more so than what you see on videos.

I agree that Sabres and Safires are good to learn on also. If they're going to be learning how to fly a canopy; why not learn on something that will probably be one of their first genre of canopy. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

There was a point of transition in the late 90's where we had a fleet of student mains that were Manta ZP's, Falcons and Raider 220's. Then I went to work at another DZ that only used Navigators and I think they are great. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
