Philippians 4: 8 Finally, brothers, whatever is true, whatever is noble, whatever is right, whatever is pure, whatever is lovely, whatever is admirable—if anything is excellent or praiseworthy—think about such things. I don't think it is a "law", but it beats the doing the opposite. IMHO steveOrino

I was born and raised in Dallas area and have visited Phoenix. ASo being very biased I'd prefer the Dallas area (particularly Plano, Allen area as they are near SDD and have great schools) I like Dallas's 4 seasons. Also, the professional sports in Dallas are great but the Suns and Diamondbacks aren't bad. But you still have the Cardinals in the NFL. The one thing I'd prefer Phoenix over Dallas is I'd have less allergy problems in Phoenix. steveOrino

What's the smallest tandem student you've taken?
steveorino replied to cpoxon's topic in Instructors
LOL! A few old timers were out Sunday and I showed them my "good" arch photo and the "bad" arch photo (Jennifer) that I show students. That is what ole Pete Morris said, "Looks like a side spin about to happen" But BIGUN pointed out my body position (and size) as a way to over come it. -
Yep, that's me -- I got my rating via US Army Special Forces Underwater Operations School back in 1978. I enjoy diving in Cozumel and Cancun. So does my wife. She made one (and probably only one) tandem and loves to scuba. While I enjoy scuba, I'd much rather skydive. steveOrino

This may not be BIGUN's smallest tandem student but it is hilarious to look at: Bigun's minime Of course, most all of them look small compared to Keith. steveOrino -
I've had about 300 transactions with them without problem. What happen to you? steveOrino

Yep, line twist are always caused by bad pack jobs, and never by bad body position upon deployment. At least that is what I tell the packer. steveOrino

Smallest: 4' 10" and 88 lbs Biggest: 6'6" and 260 lbs She wasn't any problem in Mel's (Mule's) harness as it has the belly and butt strap. steveOrino -
I hate to sidetrack the thread, but I'm thinking that anyone who spins uncontrollably and has to be rescued by the video guy maybe doesn't really belong on a 4-way. Kevin But what if she has big tatas? steveOrino

Neither did I for a few years. steveOrino

The 2003 war in Iraq - does anybody still fully support it?

You broke it, you bought it (figurative "you"). If we just pull out, we do need to provide them with some reparations. Really. We fucked up (or started processes that fucked up) their country pretty solidly. Wendy W. Money to rebuild, just as we did Japan & Germany -- no more soldiers IMHO steveOrino -
I was just yanking your chain. No offense intended. That being said ... when I was a boss, I'd surely promote or give a raise to those who helped out when the work was hard. However, I don't think I would reward somone who said "F$#@ it! I'm not doing any more work. Eh. but maybe that is just me. steveOrino

Yeah, if I was your boss, I'd be dying for the opporunity to reward you with a raise ... steveOrino

steveorino replied to vortexring's topic in Speakers Corner
Bingo! Let's admit Iraq was a mistake -- pull out -- let them have at it. (yes, we screwed up by being there, but our presence isn't going to help anymore IMHO) Put those men in Afghanistan -- find OBL and leave steveOrino -
One of Brian Poston's shot of me exiting. I like it! Brian is a great photog and friend! steveOrino

It took him 40 minutes ... he is slacking. He must have got that from American culture as well ... steveOrino

Why thank you! Uh, you were talking about me, were you not? Actually, I know my driver's license says I'm 52, but I hang out with people 10-20 years younger than me and while my back aches a bit, I feel young. I agree with you, age is an attitude, not a number! steveOrino

How many jumps before your SCR?
steveorino replied to steveorino's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
I told all the guys (4 of us) to buy good beer and no cheap stuff, so they'd drink more and pour less. Sounded like a good idea, but I'm not so sure it worked. I was soaked! steveOrino -
How many jumps before your SCR?
steveorino replied to steveorino's topic in General Skydiving Discussions
Thanks for sharing. I love stories from back in the day. I could have had my first jump in '78 because I was on a SF HALO/SCUBA team. I went to SCUBA, and when it came for my time to go to HALO school I ETSed because I didn't want to extend. My biggest regret in life. steveOrino -

Nah, I just think it might easier if everyone leaves from the same plane. The Cessnas in formation is kinda cool! steveOrino
