Me thinks mentioning boobies keeps the thread in bonfire The draft in this country has been around since the civil war. But our attitude to boobies and the boobies themselves has changed since then. Forty percent of next yrs fresh meat at west point will be women. A lot more career fields in the military are open to boobies. The draft needs to get with the newer times. Instead of doing a cut copy and paste from the past. On a happy note I don't see the draft happening during my lifetime for anyone. One Jump Wonder

Actually I'm surprised their doing that crap. Picked up a brochure at the post office about the responsibility of every one in a certain age group having to sign up for the draft. Immediately noticed it had a gender bias, it only required dude's to register. Funny shit. One Jump Wonder

Hi Juz The only reason this issue is being dicussed is because your buddy posted the video. That was his choice. The video made your buddy look good and the person who was crossing the runway, well you know Every video doesn't need to be posted in public. Have a happy. One Jump Wonder

It wasn't that long ago. They had video One Jump Wonder

Tunnel time, and a very good coach. Looks like they can train a elephant to fly like a bird. The canopy course can be a challenge. Better order more pea gravel, lots more. One Jump Wonder

The RR loses cargo all the time. I wonder how much insurance they carry. If the hollow tubes were insured by the lb, or self insured someone might be looking for a new job. On a happy note more work for boeing employees in Ks USA.

Agreed 100% The swoop lane is like a runway. No one should be crossing the runway while planes are landing. Good heads up call by the canopy pilot. One Jump Wonder

The recent acft incident in PolandIndicates that the MSW of the canopy may not be the only limiting factor for a safe jump. The skydiving industry needs more "little people" jumpers, to arrive at a average weight of 150#/jumper on the load. The problem isn't the big people weighing to much, its the operator's using unrealistic average weights. One Jump Wonder

Hi Hannah I like the new avatar In a brotherly sort of way R One Jump Wonder

I still can't figure out how that works. Rich: "Sherry, I'm resigning." Sherry: "I won't accept your resignation." Rich: "Ok, I quit." End of story Under Bylaws Article III, the resignation of any USPA Director's resignation shall be tendered to the BOD. (No provision for approval or rejection, either by the President or the BOD. Also no express provision for the resignation to necessarily need to be in writing.) Under Article IV, the resignation of any officer shall be tendered to the BOD and may be voted on by the BOD at any regular or special meeting. Unless what he was resigning was his cmmt chairmanship. In which case, Sherry, as President is the sole arbiter. Under the by-laws the President has all authority on appointing or removing cmmt chairs. With all respect, I disagree. The pres of USPA has the authority for But each cmmt chair has the right to rseign. With or without the presidents approval or acceptance. A real resignation is what it is. Anything less is politics.

+3 Hmmm I sure hope that everyone thats unhappy with the situation is directing their concerns to USPA leadership, and not just expressing their concerns on dz.com. Someone says there are hundreds of you. If USPA doesn't address your concerns to your satisfaction than you have other options available to you all. Full disclosure: I'm no longer a member of uspa.

Hi larry Got any pics It never hurts to advertise One Jump Wonder

Well, then what did? I reially don't understand why that's so hard to answer. Have you tried writing to the president of USPA to find out the facts about what happened? Thats what twardo suggested in his post. If you want to know what happened contact USPA instead of whining One Jump Wonder

On a happy note at least they were able to correctly diagnose it before it popped.

Hi Larry Is SOS skydivers over sixty? JOS jumpers over seventy? What was the previous record for the NNKS.? One Jump Wonder

Hi John Had a great weekend to. Weather was great, not to hot or cold, got a lot of chores done around the house, and yard. Fixed part of my exterior water supply problem. Watched a family of three bald eagles flying over head, momma dear and two young ones crossing the road, lots of birds learning to fly with their parents.

Hi Mr T We've been around long enough to know that we can't rely on DZ rumors and the net. It is what it is. Whatever "it" is. We recently received a email telling us a Boogie had been canceled We did our due diligence. Found out the boogie hadn't been canceled. Just reconfigured. R. One Jump Wonder
