Hey all. I found them on craigslist and although I checked them on ripoffreport.com and that came up with nothing. They recruit worldwide so I wanted to see if anyone here has heard of them or even better used them? Everything looks great except when um placed with a job after the training they take 20% of my pay for the first 60 working days. According to what I'm told I will be getting paid its still more than I make now...after the 60 days its going to be sweet! Anyways if anyone has any info on them I would greatly appreciate it. Thanks :) "Age has absolutely nothing to do with knowledge, learning, respect, attitude, or personality." -yardhippie "Fight the air, and the air will kick your ass!!! "-Specialkaye

Hey all. My friends best friend was in a horrific car accident yesterday and is currently in surgery for the next 6 hours. She broke both legs and both arms. They are operating on her neck today and her back tomorrow. The docs are not sure if she suffered brain damage or not because they put her in an induced coma. Please keep her in your thoughts and prayers as she is a great person! Thank you.

Yep you're right. I talked to darlene today. She made it sound like an awesome dz with fantastic prices for student jumps which is what initially attracted me to it!

Nope. That's one of the first questions I asked! Ill come down there eventually. I'm going home primarily to see friends. The dz is just an added bonus.

Hello all. I'm posting this thread because I'm planning a trip back home to PA to visit some friends I haven't seen in over 8 years. I researched dz's in that area and Above the Poconos in Hazelton caught my attention. Can anyone that jumps or has jump there give me their opinions on this dz? I talked to them briefly and they seem like a really good small family dz but I want to get others opinions. Thanks in advance for any responses!

Hey a wire brush and clean the terminals an the connections. Your alternator and battery are probably not the problem. Corroded terminals will affect the whole electrical system.

I was fine once I left the command in Virginia. My Florida CO(which my whole chain of command supported) told me if he had the authority to CAP me he would have but in the navy a shore commanding officer does not have the option of capping someone to the next rank...only seagoing CO's have that authority. I have always been a great sailor and very good at my job. Out of the 7 years I spent in I only did general mess a total of maybe 4 months. Otherwise I was either chief's mess, wardroom, flag mess, or bakery due to my cake decorating ability. I knew my job, all aspects, very well. Bottom line is it only takes one person with the wrong attitude to screw up someones career.

If you knew the whole stori you would understand why I couldn't make E5 in 7 years. Long story short I had a racist master chief at my second command. I say racist because I wa sent to captains mast for being late to work 2 times in a span of 8 months. There was a black person of the asmer rank as myself which was E4 that was late to work 3-4 times A WEEK that he never messed with. I was stationed in Norfolk Va at the time. I was sent to mast exactly 7 days before I transferred to jacksonville FL. They busted be from E4 to E3 and that's it. They didn't take money or give me restriction time. So I had to wait 9 months to take the E4 test again...then wait another 6 months to get paid for it...then another year to even take test test for E5. At this point I only had 2 chances to take the E5 test before I hit my high year tenure. Anyone that has been in or is still in knows that it is damn near impossible to make E5 in the CS rate taking the test twice. The average is 5 to 6 times and that with EP evals, maxed out award points and maxed out pna(passed but not advanced) points. Being that I just made E4 there was no way I could have even come close to the final multiple even if I aced the test(my average test scores were in the low and mid 70's with the highest being 80) and with EP evals which I had. So ya see that master chief screwed up my career. He knew what he was doing. He knew advancement was getting more difficult with every passing test. That's why I couldn't make E5 before I got out. I have no problem following orders and getting the job done with high standards. But with bad leadership it doesn't matter how good you are. If they don't like you you're screwed no matter what you do.

Its ironic you at that. I'm workunh on a coast guard ship right now. I'm on my quasi lunch break. Ill ask them and see what they say. Update though. Worlwide deisel is not hiring right now...so I go to Besco and talk to the forman. Turns out he never saw my application. After talking with him for about 30 minutes he seemed like we wanted to bring me onboard. He asked for my phone number and said if he couldn't find my application that I would have to come in and fill another one out. No big deal to me. For what they pay its worth the extra trip! So I'm waiting on a call right now. Although a 10,000 enlistment bonus(more depending on what mos I do) does sound very tempting. That would be jump gear, motorcycle, and ill be able to clear the negative stuff on my credit report! We shall see...

Dude...i know all about getting shit in writing. Remember..i spent 7 years in tha navy. I now everything to look for and what to watch out for. If i dont know..my brother(bigdad510 on here) spent 9 years in the 82nd airborne. If im unsure of anything i can call him to get verification. One thing i have definitely learned from my time in the military is nothing is guarenteed unless it is in writing. I will explore my other options as well..not just the MP route. Im in no hurry to join right this very second..and im smart enough to not let a recruiter push me into anything i do not want to do. That happened when i joined the navy. Im a person that learns from my mistakes..and yes i know...navy..never again volunteer yourself..i dont need to hear it again. I will make sure i know what i am getting myself into before i sign any documents. Thanks for the input though. Any info is greatly appreciated!

So work is slowing down to the point of barely making 30 hours a week. I finally got my drivers license reinstated so im going to reapply at the company i did a week before all the licensing issues started and im also applying at a company called Worldwide Diesel(self explanatory). If that does not work out i am giving serious thought to going with teh blue to green program and going int he army. One of the primary reasons i got out of the navy is they denied me the right to go to war. I volunteered for the "IA" program. If you dont know what IA is google it. It was really my olny shot at making E5 before i hit the navy high year tenure. I was so fed up with the military at that point i just said screw it and got out. I did not fear civilian life as i had a job within a month of getting out. Now with work getting slow im starting to miss the military lifestyle with always something to do. Sooooooo..... I stopped at the comples's office beause i had to make copies for my license and insurance to take with the applications being that they are both travel jobs. I start talking to Jan...one of the leasing consultants. She is a national guard member and she informed me that they army is in need to security people(MP'S). One of the things i tried doing in the navy was crossrating to a MA. I was short down because the rate was overmanned at the time. This may be my chance to get what i originally wanted and if i join the army i will qualify for some bonuses being that i served previously. So if the other 2 jobs dont come to fruition then its off to the army i go!

Devils advocate here. I really do not see how you can write a song based of something that you haven't done yourself. Basing it off other peoples account what what they feel will never really make the song your own. Im sure others have recommended it but go out...do a tandem and then write your song...being that it will be how YOU feel and felt about it.

I will never go through a third party cell phone provider. I didn't even have them a month and I got sick of them. Constant dropped calls, texts not being sent but telling me they are sent. I don't ever get the texts that are sent to me. I bougt a crackberry and it seems to be better than the sidekicks I have had. So yeah not even a full month and I'm back with tmobile!

Ok so i find out that my drivers license is suspended last weekend. When i call virginia to find out what i have to do to get it reinstated in florida they tell me. They ALSO tell me that my motorcycle endorsement WILL NOT carry over. I ask why...they proceed to tell me that since i too the class through the military and since i have seperated from the military that i have to do the whole process again. That makes NO sense to me whatsoever! I would understand if it was a military only license but i had it on my drivers license! Has anyone ever heard of something like this. I dont mind going through it again but if there is something i can do to not go through the whole process again i would rather go that route. Thanks is advance!
