Bets, You and Lou going to autograph copies for the archives??? Shark
-
Yeah, Mr. Sushi finally comes out of the shadows. Did you get my jump ticket yet?? Shoot. And no, the staff at El Snore does not like you. Well, may be the dude down under has it for you. Hey, you going to the Eclipse??
-
There should be. And if there isn't, I will LO if we can get a 3 way. That is, if we are not busy at the school.
-
Which ones were used??
-
Uh, just one more.... the TLOs are now Performance Objectives. BTW, I'm still old school and use the old nomenclature.
-
The JM rating is no longer valid.

1 FJC, 3 AFF, 5 types of alcohol, 5 six-way jumps, 6 Jell-Oh shots, 10 minutes to break down Camp Shark, 25 minute drive home. I need a day off.

Gia, Be sure to make your way to SoCal when you get back to CONUS. Shark

They have names? Heck, by the time we were in the plane I had already forgotten the dive flow. Motrin 800. On Sunday I had a good FJC students that made the long class fun. Had all 8 of them in the air by sunset.
-
Only at Elsinore Hottamaly had the Jell-Oh shots out and about. The sales will benefit Westcoastchica's campaign as well.

Didn't find a phone, but I did find an Adrenaline jumpsuit (not Tammi's) and a chick's pair of new shoes...
-
Well???
-
Be sure to hit up Rich. He just got his AFF-I and owes mucho booze, etc.

What kind of canopy are you jumping?
-
I think it pre-dates Bill. Yeah, but so does the parachute. I'm just giving credit to him as he has been quoting it in his FJCs. The emphasis is in the course introduction. I've sat in on FJCs in several DZs and only seen it in a couple. The origin, led to Bill.

People femur at 1.0 -1.2 almost weekly and a few die every year. Is that not enough to warant change? Yes, that is one reason why it is incorporated into the ISP. When I teach the FJC one of the first things I write on the board is: "Your number 1 objective is to land safely under an open parachute." (Thanks to Bill Von for that quote.) Education starts at jump #1 and continues. We don't. I encourage my students to get into the course as soon as possible after they get their license. To add to that, if I know one of them is on a load, I find out what canopy TLOs they are to perform and watch them under canopy and debrief with them later. Someone mentioned it before, but it is about education. With the amount of injuries occuring, it may lead to the BSR with forced education and restrictions. But, "the more things change, the more they stay the same."

Hey, that's my Otter! Well, I like to share. Yes, indeed!
-
Ever landed a Lightning? They're pretty fickle, but great while airborne.
-
Nope, that's why I asked.
-
Then why not CReW? And being comfortable when flying in close proximity with other canopies including docking. Perhaps one can demonstrate this by docking 8th or later... Really?
-
Does Jake make you wear that costume a lot??
-
You guys stopping for gas at Elsinore?
-
Lisa, Your SoCal family is thinking about ya. Shark

So I only got 1 jump, but it was a fun one!!! Then picture the Shark with 3 chicks trying to get him hammered.... (Bytch, the garnish made a great substitute for a salad.)
