In the book, "Flags of our Fathers," I'm fairly confident I read where the Marines lost 6,000 men; but the Japanese lost over 20,000 on Iwo Jima.

1. Thou shalt fill out thy profile, 2) be assertive about your therapy. Skydivers like boobies, chicks have boobies, chicks dig skydivers. Get well. Nobody has time to listen; because they're desperately chasing the need of being heard.

Well, stop thinking, over-analyzing and researching over it and get in the car and go. If you wanna look something up, look up some stuff on desensitization therapy - now let me save you some time & money; the more you do something that causes you concern, the less apprehensive it becomes.

There's a myriad of folks who who pay for skydiving in a myriad of ways without the benefit of a steady paycheck; packing, rigging, second jobs, manifest, gear sales, etc. Very few people do. The first couple of years is a sprinkling of exposure to a vast array of directions. I declared a business degree until I found my true passion in Communications which served me well; but needed a graduate degree in business for corporate America (thankfully, I minored in management in undergrad). Yes; 10 years active and five in the reserves - after Desert Storm, I took a nine year break from skydiving. The first couple of years was for grad school. the next few years were job-related and while my fellow skydivers remained friends over the years, they would occasionally ask if I thought about skydiving again. At the time, my standard response was, "Been there, done that." I found myself back in skydiving when a group of about 15 co-workers asked me to hook them up with a DZ. I took them out to my former Jumpmaster, friend and occasional "breakfast club" buddy turned DZO for their classes. He told me about some new student gear which I tried on and then suggested I go do a jump. Second jump of the day, I called Linda Marie (LM) out at the Gear-store @ elsinore and ordered new gear - that was seven years ago. So I had nine years in the sport in the 80's, stopped in 90 when activated for DS, then grad school, etc. and started jumping again in '99. That's a good thing. I don't think anyone with any form of IQ or ambition is ever really satisfied with status quo. There's always something to do, new challenges to take on, new lands to visit and new quests to conquer. It took you all of eternity to get there and if by the grace of God you get your block of 75 years on this planet; do everything you can... cause when you leave; you're never coming back. I hope you never learn what to do with yourself. I hope you learn to do a little bit of everything. The man you become ten or twenty years from now will always be rooted by what you've learned in the military. I don't care how many degrees you get, how financially successful you become or if you choose to be a social worker or teacher for a pittance of salary. Those things you've learned in the military will always be the foundation of your dedication and you will always be a member of the largest fraternity on the planet - a Veteran. There are no graduation rings, awards, or membership fees required and yet; the only requirement for membership is the pride you have in yourself for having served.

AMPA - American Military Parachute Association. Does only military static line for former Airborne and civies who never got to go to Airborne school. They hold a full fledged military jump school twice a year. They're also the WWII Airborne Demonstration Team (does the WWII reinactments for movies and D-day stuff in Europe).

Nightingale and I have been having some wonderful back channel (PM's) discussions the past couple of days. I shared with her all my sources which endorsed my position, She researched considerably more and found newer information. She's gonna make a great attorney! I stand corrected.

What I'm saying is an "illegal combatant" does not have to be afforded EPW status. Not what I said either. He was within the parameters of military law regarding interrogation and the result was death for which he was tried and convicted. That is the issue. And, on that note I bid you, "Blue Skies."
