Exit point - BLM land. Landing point - State Highway Right of way. Video This exit has been jumped about 3 gazillion times. After landing, and after my rig was in the truck, a BLM Ranger drove up. My jump buddy and I just waved and said "hi" since it was a legal jump. The Ranger calls County dispatch and verifies that it is illegal to land on the State Highway or right of way. He proceeds to tell me that the jump WAS legal, but landing on the road falls under 43 CFR 8365 (a)(2) and I am issued a $175 Citation for the offense of Creating a nuisance. Here is the statute: TITLE 43--PUBLIC LANDS: INTERIOR CHAPTER II--BUREAU OF LAND MANAGEMENT, DEPARTMENT OF THE INTERIOR PART 8360--VISITOR SERVICES--Table of Contents Subpart 8365--Rules of Conduct Sec. 8365.0-1 Purpose. The purpose of this subpart is to set forth rules of conduct for the protection of public lands and resources, and for the protection, comfort and well-being of the public in its use of recreation areas, sites and facilities on public lands. [[Page 889]] Sec. 8365.0-2 Objective. The objective of this subpart is to insure that public lands, including recreation areas, sites and facilities, can be used by the maximum number of people with minimum conflict among users and minimum damage to public lands and resources. Sec. 8365.1 Public lands--general. The rules in this subsection shall apply to use and occupancy of all public lands under the jurisdiction of the Bureau of Land Management. Additional rules for developed sites and areas are found in Sec. 8365.2 of this title. Sec. 8365.1-4 Public health, safety and comfort. (a) No person shall cause a public disturbance or create a risk to other persons on public lands by engaging in activities which include, but are not limited to, the following: (1) Making unreasonable noise; (2) Creating a hazard or nuisance; It will probably cost me more money in gas than the fine itself to fight the fucking thing, but something smells funny about the jurisdiction. Does a CFR apply to a State-Owned HWY? I thought I would throw it out there for your analysis. Lawrocket? Attached the citation...at least it says BASE, so it's suitable for framing. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Sure! But I'd be upfront about the hookers, the blow, and that one thing with that poor lamb and the champagne bottle. If they'd still have me, what the hell. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Wow. No shit. Thanks Doc. Everyone nevermind. But that opposite wasn't bad dammit. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

I can’t. I can. Task Force Ranger. Particular bullets from the AAR Decent Wiki Synopsis: Service analyses of the action later identified three factors in the failure of the raid to achieve its objectives without serious casualties on both sides: A failure of intelligence gathering, particularly in relying on local intelligence sources only and failing to recognize Aidid's capability in urban guerilla warfare; A lack of political support for the Task Force Ranger mission, reflected in denial or removal of military support assets that would have aided the force, such as M-1 Abrams tanks and AC-130 Spectre gunships; and A lack of decisive force by Task Force Ranger, including insufficient troops, equipment, and weaponry. Parts of all three failures led to the decision to use tactics successful in previous raids but inappropriate to downtown Mogadishu, and to launch the operation during daylight instead of at night. Les Aspin took the fall for the bold bullet, but it has been widely reported that Bill Clinton was the driving force behind the denial. Regardless, it was politics over tactics that turned what could have been a very successful operation into an abortion. Those assets, used as force multipiers, would have negated the other two. [Harvey rant]IF you make the difficult decision to enter into an armed conflict, it is essential to cast aside collateral concerns and project overwhelming force until the objective is met. THAT is what wins battles AND what rightfully makes such decisions difficult. Half-assing operations is the political equivalent of soothing your troubled conscience. "Well we tried not to cause undo harm...blah blah" Once you have made the decision to act, have the balls to accept the horrible consequences. Do not make my men pay for your guilt.[/Harvey rant] - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

A very interesting take. Well done. As for this: Quote...As matters stand now, a private who loses a rifle suffers far greater consequences than a general who loses a war. I have it pinned up on my wall to remind me of what's broken....as it sums up why I took a commission after I was half way to retirement. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Before you get too far into the support of the General ranks, which is admirable, please take a moment to read this magnificent piece by the commander of my sister regiment. A Failure in Generalship The scum of political motivation permeates much more deeply than does supposed tactical proficiency. And that is shameful. If Patton were alive today, he would be rounded up and shot for sedition...and he was quite simply the most brilliant warfighter in recorded history. We are in peril. And the civilian leadership is only a symptom of much greater ills. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Nothing changed, which, it appears, is the issue. Someone in the administration, probably Gates, convinced POTUS that Fox Fallon would play ball. He stuck to his... Wait, did you say you were wrong? WTF? Anyway... A good Flag/General officer doesn't publicly cross the grain (as you well know), so he'll retire instead. THAT has come across in the press as a huge slap in the face to the administration. Fox exits smelling like roses. There is a high likelihood that we will go into Iran. Especially since the DNC is self-destructing before our eyes and the public will end up electing the lesser of three evils. AIPAC is old school...as is McCain.

He paid for it quade - THAT's illegal. What Clinton did was a fat chick. Those are free. HUGE difference. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

I'm very proud of you Jeanne for giving equal time to a Dem. Good girl! Even vice crusaders need blowjobs every once in a while. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Oh, it totally has, but if they whine about something I do - I tell em to blow me...and there's nothing they can do. S&TA my ass. STFU - and watch this...[/base rant] I agree with Bill Von on this one (Probably the first time I have EVER said that.) - Helmets should be mandatory for anyone on student status. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Equally distribute nukes between every country from Serbia to India. Get our people out. Make popcorn. Find a comfy lawn chair with a lead umbrella. Good times. Fuck em. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Not really. It's gotten whiny and fun-sucking. Skygods, whatever... That's why I BASE jump. Me and gravity. No rules. Libertarianism in its purest form. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Now, understand that I disagree with Dr. Kallend on, let's see...everything. I probably dislike his choice of socks today. I do think he distinguishes his opinions of soldiers versus the civilian leadership. It's ok to question decisions that endanger your flesh and blood. The men in those pictures would fight to the death his right to do so. He's welcome at this table. Even if his socks suck. P.S. - If a Dem gets the White House and sends us on some BS operation, hands tied this time (ie Somalia), The good Doc better be just as loudly opposed. I'm counting on those principles. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Those pictures are everywhere and easy to find, but when they're used in the press - the left calls them staged propaganda. They're good kids doing great things. Brits and Americans alike. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

It's a Bush conspiracy to inflate oil prices. Figured I'd go ahead and get that out of the way - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member

Just like you to only support money for Africa to help HIV/AIDS that you approve of. Some liberal. J is for Jamoke. - Harvey, BASE 1232 TAN-I, IAD-I, S&TA BLiNC Magazine Team Member
