How about a dropzone making sure you are qualified to actually make a safe jump? I have heard from one S&TA that questioned the experience of a "newly" licensed jumper that has never jumped at this DZ. The jumper was asked and presented his log book of "currency" and verified jumps. Under examination, he was surprised to find several of the jumps had been "signed" with the S&TA's name. Now, I have seen the S&TA's signature and it is illegible. The signatures in the logbook were clearly forged and when a careful investigation was completed, only a few jumps were actual, without ever having passed higher level AFF jumps. Would you want to jump with this person on an LO or fun jump? Safety is the issue and I do not blame a DZ for protecting their assets. This is lawsuit-happy California.

Hi, Shark!

Yes, similar to what Perris requires.

If you ever jump Elsinore manifest will want to see your logbook as part of the waiver process.

Yeah, I heard they were throwing chemlights and other light sticks for you guys to catch. Did Manuel invite you to his crib for some beer? Actually, that sounded like some wild shit.

I like the ST&A better...

You mean like, phi-fi-fo-fum?

You need to attend the Chicks Rock boogie.

Very cool!

Dude, it's not that bad, and in fact their manifest is very professional. Well, you can always go over the hill and hang out with us at 'Snore. Marsha will hook you up, and she's cool, too.

...and since your boss lurks here, that was a good quote. Hey, I'm sending Rich back there to kick your ass.

Ya know, if you didn't get hassled, I never would have met you at manifest. Well, maybe not until later, anyway. Jana was hassling me, too, and I was just there to pick some stuff up!

Well, ya can always do your AFF at El Snore. Then again, you'd need to sit through my FJC and jump with moi.

Article 15 recommended By Rowan Scarborough, The Washington Times An Army hearing officer has recommended administrative punishment — but not a criminal court-martial — for Lt. Col. Allen B. West, who is charged with assault for firing a gun to scare a confession from an Iraqi detainee. "It's extremely good news," said Neal Puckett, Col. West's attorney, who defended him at a pretrial hearing last month in one of Saddam Hussein's Tikrit palaces. "This is what we think the Army should have done from the very beginning." Mr. Puckett quoted his client as saying, "Great news indeed." The recommendation goes to Maj. Gen. Raymond Odierno, the 4th Infantry Division commander, who can accept it or reject it in favor of court-martialing Col. West or dismissing the charge. Mr. Puckett said he was informed yesterday by the division's judge advocate that the hearing officer, Lt. Col. Jimmy Davis, recommended what is called Article 15 punishment, not a trial. Under this procedure, Col. West would appear before Gen. Odierno. The general would be limited in his punishment options to a written reprimand, forfeiture of pay and confinement to quarters. If court-martialed, Col. West would risk a military jury convicting him and dismissing him from the Army. A dismissal would mean losing a lifetime of retirement benefits for the married father of two children, who is based at Fort Hood, Texas.

Then why do you keep comparing them? Getting back to the issue at hand, what solutions would you propose?

No, you can jump with whoever you want to, unless of course I'm indoors with the FJC. I misread your post.

Exactly. Hitler killed jews, and Saddam killed muslims.

Welcome to the forums! BTW, did you and AD meet at the DZ?

Hey Darcy, Just let Jason (Air Boss) know, and he'll schedule you with Bryan. See ya

Paul, The countries that opposed the war knew that they would not benefit from the rebuilding. I think it's great that they now have a financial interest to go along with their moral interest. Like they say in Texas, "Tough shit."

The Spratley Islands are rich in oil and gas deposits. Taiwan is one of several who claim ownership of the archipelago. Check six

You know, support and like the guy and would jump with him should he pursue AFF, etc., but should he have a monkey name?

I probably will. Robert cannot as he and Judy have begun their cross country adventure for 6 months. Check our website for the Level 2 dive flow and practice your exits and body position. See you this weekend. Mark

Hence, the beer fine.
