  2. I usually check weatherbug.com for actual conditions real time but that is usually in the morning, sometimes an hour later its windy. This is another good website for the wind forecast, its usually accurate. http://www.usairnet.com/cgi-bin/launch/code.cgi?Submit=Go&sta=KLAL&model=avn&state=FL Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  3. I usually only go to the DZ if winds are predicted to be 5-10. If they are over 15 either steady or gusting, I am going home. I have driven an hour and a half to the DZ on more than one occasion, only to find winds over 15 and turn around and head back home. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  4. Interesting thread. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?do=post_view_flat;post=1165803;page=1;sb=post_latest_reply;so=ASC;mh=25; Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  5. Kind of like the guy I know with his HIGH SCHOOL football mascot tat on his shoulder. Might have seemed like a good idea at the time, but 25 years later, looks pretty stupid. And let's be real, there are tattoos and then there are TATTOOS. Yep, thats your .02 Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  6. I have ink but no skydive ink. Those sound like good ideas to me. Best bet is probably to continue with the search. I am sure the above posts from the "SKY GODS" are just what you were looking for. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  7. I breakdown grows on a regular basis but the evidence man would kick my ass on this one. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  8. Yeah, I know its pink but I got a great deal on it. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  9. What else http://home.comcast.net/~linkman00/tv/S.W.A.T..mp3 Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  10. I am far from an expert on round ID but I will take a stab at it. 5.56 7.62X39 .308 300 Win Mag? 12 ga Winchester Supreme 3" probably birdshot. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  11. I have had good success with this site but I am not sure about a whole article. http://www.irishgaelictranslator.com/translation/ Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  12. First jump in the Army 22 years old -1991 First Skydive 25 years old -1994 Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  13. I have been a cop for 11 years now and its a good job but its not for everyone. The excitement vs boredom is going to depend entirely on where you work. You might see if your prospective Police Dept has a ride along program, that way you can see first hand what its going to be like. Keep in mind larger departments have more specialty units. Road Patrol is fun at first but it gets old after a while. Luckily I haven't had to wear a uniform or answer a call in five years. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  14. I am not a "Hardcore" mountain biker but I have been through the IPMBA school (Police Mountain Bike School) and was a bike cop for three years. I have been riding a Giant Iguana for the past five years and its taken a lickin and keeps on tickin. I actually like it better than the Police Cannondale I rode for three years at work. Check out Giant Bicycles they have all levels.

  15. What are they doing with all the pictures and cool stuff that was on the walls? That place was like a museum. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  16. I was jumping with Skymonkey One last week and he told me the same thing. I was shocked. I don't know if I would have ever started skydiving if it wasn't for the GB Club. What a sad day. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  17. Yeah, don't accidently click on that bad boy at work, the whole office will hear it. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  18. Dude I think you got cheated, I think he cut it off before the full 5 sec ride. I have been pepper sprayed, CS gassed, stun gunned, and tasered. Tasered is by far the worst! Great tool though ends a foot chase at the first fence. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  19. I started static line jumping in the Army in 1991. I started Skydiving in the Army in 1994 (Green Beret Sport Parachute Club). I got injured in a skydiving accident in 1996 (Titusville) and didn't jump again until Apr 2006. About 3.5 years skydiving. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  20. 1:2:0 I had two great jumps at Titusville Saturday, the weekend is not over yet (I don't go back to work until Wed). Heading to Z-Hills Tues. Matt, did you ever go back and finish the canopy course at Deland that we got weathered out of? I never did. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  21. Personally I think its a non issue but you might find this interesting. I have jumped them on military free fall rigs with no problems, you won't get one on student gear though. http://www.dropzone.com/cgi-bin/forum/gforum.cgi?post=1100466;search_string=bellyband;#1100466 Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  22. I was out for ten years and just returned this year. The drop zone changed owners twice while I was away, all new people, new plane and they do this thing called 'Freeflying" now. Its nice to be back though.
  23. Recruiter? Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
  24. In the mid 90's in Titusville, I landed next to the McDonald's drive through window on a night jump. A lady picking up some food gave me a ride back to the DZ. Kevin Muff Brother #4041 Team Dirty Sanchez #467
