Man, with that kind of form, the BASE guys should be recruiting his ass! Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Really don't give a shit. I want to go out like or Johnny Gates. 69 years old, tracking away from a great dive on the sunset load. I do believe God was paying homage on that one himself. If I can't go out that way... I hope it's what's behind door number 2 - two blondes giving me the BJ sandwich in a Ferrari at 200 mph going over a cliff. Hate fucking up a perfectly good Ferrari though. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

When did you stop being nervous?

God, I hope never. I kinda like the tingly feeling just before the door opens and the sense of calm when it does. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard. -

Does the military in the UK not offer family/credit counseling to its soldiers? With three kids in the equation, I'm not sure that cutting away is going to lessen his financial burden, nor would it be good for the kids if this is the only issue in their marriage (I know you said there were some other bumps in the road, but this seems to be a predicating factor). Maybe his parents could hang onto the credit card when he's deployed and she would have to have them go with her for extraodinary purchases that are beyond their means?

I knew it was too much of an advertised round-house for you. You would have had about 200 character witnesses testify it wasn't you without seeing the front of your face. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Sir, can you tell us your whereabouts or if you were in Odessa during the month of December? http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-4076863223883966153&q=comedy&hl=en Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

About a third of the way thru this book about an Iraqi General (Christian) in Saddam's military. I'll keep you posted as I work my way through it. So far, I find it interesting and am reading it with an open mind. One thing I thank our military for is, "You may not follow an illegal order."

Here's a "guideline" for the S/L progression. Here again... It's what category you're in that's important. http://www.skydivetoledo.com/learn/Static%20Line%20Progression.pdf?osCsid=5acd4bcf49e06e35fa544f51dc03a63d Edit: Now, having said that, with the number of jumps you have, you're using the Integrated Student Program (ISP), so your Instructors can evaluate your progression within categories. You "may" have to do 2-3 S/L jumps while doing DRCP's, or... anyway, it can be tailored to your specific situation.

I love the ISP program. Use of any instructional methodology to make the student successful. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Whole 'nother thread, Brother. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

I read thru your previous threads. You're being pretty hard on yourself. At no time do you mention that your Instructors had the TUG conversation with you. If that's the case, then they didn't give up on you, you gave up on yourself. 15 jumps and on Level 3. This is one of the things I don't like about AFF "levels" and prefer the categories. People tend to measure themselves against numbers or how others accomplished what in how many dives rather than against their own proficiency. Some get it in 7, some get it in 30. So what? There's a bajillion stories on here of skydivers who took numerous jumps above and beyond the standard number of dives to get their "A" license. Little known factoid - the guy that went on to break the Oklahoma record for most jumps out of a 182 in 12 hours (104 skydives in 12 hours) was a dope on the rope (static-line progression) about 37 times. Several who took into the 30's to get off student status have gone on to become national champions or big way record holders. It's all about determination, perseverance, drive and ambition. If you go back to it, don't be so hard on yourself. Let me ask you this: Did you enjoy yourself on those dives at all or was it sheer agony each time? If you enjoyed yourself at all on any one of those dives, then: 1. Focus on that dive 2. Go to the DZ. 3. Ask yourself, "How bad do you want it." 4. Focus on that dive. If you're having fun, then go for it. If you're not having fun, then find something that you do have fun at and do that. Skydiving is not a measure of who you are; it's just something that you do.There's great people who happen to skydive and there's dickheads who happen to skydive. (depends on who you ask as to which category I fall in ) Good luck in whatever choice you make. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

As a new freshman in HS, I saw this senior picking on a little scrawny freshman to the point of tears. Did you know you can get thrown out of school for sneaking up on someone and smacking them in the back of the head with one of those rather large dictionaries?

It's not normal. We think it's above average. That's why those who don't skydive are called "the normals" by us. Welcome. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.
