i must jump at a really strict place seat belts on helmets secured and door closed before takeoff. actually been on the plane at the end of the runway waiting to take off, and had to wait for the maintenance man to fix a stuck seatbelt before we could go. this seemed perfectly ok to me and everyone else onboard dont see why anyone would be against this. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

ok i understand that but whos going to enforce that rule, or is it left up to individuals to self supervise, if i take my rig in for a repack one day when i go to pick it up is the rigger going to hand me a rig without the aad, or just tell me its time for a new one? light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

quick ? at terminal a reserve opening would be pretty hard wouldnt it scince its desinged to open fast, possibly knocking one out, would it maybe be better to have two one on main and one on reserve main set to fire off at 1500 feet or so, pulling at pull time still seems like the best thing though light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

sorry about saying you were from out of state but everyone we talked to had no idea who you were or just wouldnt say,all they said was you were from out of state. hope your good soon looked hard saw just as hit didnt know you were badly hurt untill later when i was landing again. main reson i posted this was becuse they way i land is usally a slide just like that,and i know those stupid logs are a pain landed and tripped on one before hope your ok and good to dive soon.as for everything else in my comment it was what was explained to me what lead up to the accident light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

just wanted to correct you on what aff does. its eight jumps one tandem and seven levels of training after the seventh level you have three solos two from alt. and one hop and pop from 3500 ft, after that you have 12 to 15 coaching jumps, you can not jump with anyone but a coach untill you have 25 jumps and must use the student gear untill you are finished, were i learned they also make you spend 10 min in wind tunnel before your fjc and you also take a packing class and jump a pack job light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

i went through aff , sl isnt even offered where i learned. but i think the benifit to aff is you learn to fly your body better and faster than on static line. i was doing back flips and tracking on my 5 jump, can you do that on s/l and as far as the h&p fear goes yeah it was a little scary jumping out low but you have to realize aff students have to deploy from boc if i was s/l on the jump it wouldnt have scared me as much. after i got my a i had to do one in a real emergency when plane lost a engine haveing the confidence to be able to deploy at a low alttitude when emotions are already high is a great benifit, as for cost aff cost me 1600(10 jumps) and the coaching after cost 1600(15 jumps) light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

the reson they asked her instead of me is more of a size issue me 6ft1 230 her 5ft5 110 and shes alittle better looking to, i think why she thinks it would be ok to do this stunt is their experience level in the sport and shes to quick to trust others, havent quite been able to get her to think completly for herself yet and realize that some people may have allterior motives for jumping with her than just having fun. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

she has 45 jumps and she would be the hanger, not sure how many jumps the deployer has but he has been jumping for about 15 years light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

Looks like we are making good progress in Iraq
azdiver replied to akarunway's topic in Speakers Corner
all out war is going to happen there only a matter of time, before iran gets nukes would be best, otherwise most of the middle east would be destroyed by iran and the extremist, and not all iranians are happy with the current situation and pissed at the position that iran has taken in backing hezbolah. lots of countrys in the middle east see them as the bad egg in this and would like to see them taken out for good. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak -
some skydivers i jump with want my sister to do a mr bill with them incase u dont know what it is they plan to exit at 13k feet one person hangs on to the harness of the other person as they exit as soon as they are clear of the plane one pops there chute while the other hangs on, then the second person climbs up the persons and gets on their shoulders then jumps off. sounds simple but i can imagine all the possibiliteis of something going wrong and someone get killed light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

a point easily proven by the fact that the us is constently improving its weapons to minimize the civillian casualties, while the terrorist are trying harder to cause as many as they can, a car bomb is not a percision guided weapon, homicided bombers dont attack millitary targets they hit shops and markets, dont think there will be abundance of soldiers inside a coffe shop. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

the un weapons inspectors were repeatedly kicked out of the country by sadam, a violation in its self of the un resolutions,happend many times right before the war and he was also resticting their inspection sites. he repeatedly broke the no fly zone rules. and was scaming the oil for food program to get money to build up his millitary, and there were reports of him having wmds. and he had used them on civilians. but i will agree it is getting tiresome but it still deosent change the facts that we were justified in what we did, and if poeple would realize that the people of iraq are gratefull that we did. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

9 11 was the reason for going into afganistan, we were attacked just in case you forgot, government responsability is that of the protection of its citizen hence the war in afganistan, iraq conflict goes all the way back to the end of desert storm to refresh your memory there sadam invaded an allie and was threating to invade another, the world responded by desert storm war.iraq lost and as happens the loser is expected to conform to rules and regulations set forth by the winning side. sadam repeatedly broke those rules and regs.mainly the weapons inspections. wich were in place to make sure that he could not conduct another war against its neihbors. we were not the aggressor in eitheir case we were provoked in both cases. a little history lesson the last time a weapons ban was violated was by germany when hitler built the german army up again to start ww2. the biggest aggressor in the world today is islamic extremist and the terror orginazations that they form. soldiers target other soldiers, terrorist target civillians going about their lives never doing anything to these people, but yet they go out of there way to murder people that have done them no harm, light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

last weekend at a dz i jump at a man, visitor from out of state unknown to anyone at the dz and no one knows how much experience he had as well, was coming in for a landing at the alternate lz when he changed his mind and decided to go for the main lz at about 40 ft he realized he would not make it he turned 180 to go back to the alt lz he finished the turn but did not have enough time to flare. instead of plf he raised his feet. like a tandem student on landing and really screwed up his tailbone and his back everyone at the dz explained to me its better to break a leg than do what he did. not sure of the mans condition but he was in bad shape according to witnesses attending to him. light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak

Ex-Soldier Charged in Iraq Rape, Killing
azdiver replied to warpedskydiver's topic in Speakers Corner
just bad apples that slipped through the cracks. but they way some people are exploiting it is just a disgraceful as the crime is. the media needs to stop trying to hang all of the soldiers for the actions of a few. if the crime was committed then they deserve what they get. but people need to remember that their are a lot of really great men and women over there doing a task that seems to be impossible and getting craped on at the same time by the people they are serving for. deepest apologies to the victims family light travels faster than sound, that's why some people appear to be bright until you hear them speak
