Oh come on, doesn't anyone else have kids? And did they come along after you started skydiving? And how did that come into play when it came time to leave on the weekends to jump? _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

How did having a your first baby affect your jumping? ie: -kept on truckin -slowed down, then picked back up -slowed down permanently -stopped _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Five hours later...still here. Days like this, I often miss my exit on the way home, cause I'm looking at the sky and day-dreaming. ...Ho-Hum _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I'm thinking more along the lines of "OMG something just came up! I gotta go do ????? something" _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I wish it were that simple. The Army tends to frown on that sort of thing. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I gotta get out of work today. It's going to be a beautiful day, and the Otter is flying. How do I get out of here? _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I chose Wings because they have everything I'm looking for, a great reputation in every category, and come highly recommended. But the price and delivery time put the final stamp on my decision. Though I have never jumped one, I'm banking on other's opinions. Ordered mine four weeks ago, It'll be done in two; three weeks early. That's enough for me. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

right on! _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Looks can get you there, but substance and personality will keep you there. It all depends on whether you're looking for a fling or a wife. And hot chicks don't stay hot forever. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Amen to that! I think I'm good lookin', and it does go to my head; but I certainly don't let anyone else notice that...accept my wife. She gets all riled up when I act like a cocky ass. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

I just recently decided on a similar problem. However, mine was between silver and white trim. What I did find out that may help you, is that silver doesn't show dirt too bad; at least when compared to white. Although black doesn't hide dirt either. But I definately like the silver trim tape. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

There is a vague standard for recurrency training in the SIM, but it depends on your instructor's/DZ's interpretation of it and what fits you best. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

After my first handful of jumps after AFF, my instructors recommended that a Sabre 170 at 1.17:1 would be a good starter main for me. At some point around 20-25 jumps, they had me jumping a rental one. So that's what I bought for my first and current main. However, I had to take about a year off after only 40 jumps. When I came back, I did a few on a Tri 190 before using mine. I also came back about 10-15 pounds heavier and felt every one of them under canopy. It was kind of scary for a bit, and I considered upsizing, but then I got more comfy and shed a few pounds too. So its all good now, but I don't plan on downsizing for a couple hundred at least. I'm at around 1.22:1 now. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Yeah I had the same problem, so I called and asked. Don't use another manufacturers measuring guide though; there's something very different about how Wings does it, although I don't remember what. Just give Ankie a call. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"

Beginning hundreds of years ago, and continuing on today, when people immigrated to America they had to come from somewhere. And that place were they came from was more important than where they ended up. People lived, worked and associated with others from the same place with the same language, values and beliefs. Since there were and are so many different kind of people in America, to say that you are American seems very incomplete. You could line up 50 people, all of American nationality, and not one could have anything else in common with another. So when you ask someone what their nationality is, and it is American, we all want to specify in order to better identify ourselves. In my family tree, I can count at least four generations on every branch that were born in America, and most stayed in the same geographical region. So for me, it is pretty safe to say that my nationality is of course American; and my ethnicity and culture is from that particular region of America. So I guess if America were to close its borders, then wait a few hundred years for everyone to mix up and sort out all of our commonalities, then one could say they were American and have it understood without question. Like one who says they are Chinese, Russian, Fijian, or Egyptian, etc. Anyway, just my opinions. _________________________________________ "If a vegetarian eats vegetables, what does a humanitarian eat?"
