  1. Getting married the first time (It seemed like a fun thing to do)
  2. She wants to buy me beer when I get back to the US. Should I be concerned?
  3. Hell has frozen over. I agree with Amazon
  4. Along with doing phyisical therapy drinking a lot of skim milk and taking bone meal supplements helped me recover when I broke my leg. Take care and I hope you heal fast and strong
  5. Damn..Is his show going to be available in other markets? I thought he was in syndacation
  6. When I was a kid I used to watch "Ripcord". That planted the seed. Over the years I have got to meet a few of the "old timers", but meeting Bob Sinclair when he was out at Cal City(I know that was a loooong time ago in itself) was one of the coolest things...
  7. Wow - when I joined this site I was just expecting to learn about new stuff in skydiveing
  8. Not my lane, or not our lane. If I hear this one more time during this rotation I gonna f--kin scream
  9. As some of you know I'm currently deployed here in Kosovo. I recently have become involved in helping a little girl who was born 26 Dec obtain heart surgery. I have sent information out to several agencies and I was wondering if anyone within the skydiving comunity knows of a charity or others willing to help. I have helped other kids get help for other ailments. Basicaly I have to find medical help and we can work out visas transportation etc.. on our side. I have two medical reports that I can attach out on e mail if any one needs them. Thanks. My contact info is available in my account info
  10. I learned that lesson when I was working on a dairy farm in the Middle Ages before I joined the Army. While I was "taking the pause that refreshes" the f--king comdeians that I worked with turned on the power That was back in 1975 and I can still feel it
  11. For about a year my shin area was kinda sensitive but it cleared up. (my break was also skydiving related) I have jumped on it since and the only long term problem you might experience is a dull ache in cold weather. It could be the break or old age (I'm 51) Good luck to you
  12. I'm still finding glitter in my work area and my bunk. I think its kinda cool
  13. Thats a "Darwin Award" canidate if there ever was one
  14. Wel.. This isn't as good as some that have been posted but here goes. In Nov of 07 Myself and the rest of my battery were at Ft. Sill Ok. for training. A bunch of us went to this club called "Sidewinders". Not a bad place actualy, what the girls lacked in looks they made up for in enthusiasm. Towards the end of the evening a midget/verticaly challenged lady asked me if I wanted a lap dance. (Since I was running out of my "fun" money) I declined. She then said "You don't understand I've been on Jerry Springer" I said "I bet you have" .2 min. later a bouncer the size of an M1 says you got to go now - no body insults the dancers ( I'm 51 thats the best I can come up with right now)
  15. I went through the same thing with my Step dad in 07. Have you thought about hospice? They were a great help to him in his last days. My thoughts are with you.
  16. I hope everything goes well. Take care
  17. In the name of "free speech" they will come gunning for anyone who would dare to be critical of them- people like Hannitty, Rush, O'Riley. Like the old song says "the beat goes on"
  18. The ilumination rounds are above the dpicm rounds and are not captured by the picture. There is an "ambient" glow as it were indicating the presence of the rounds
  19. My guess is dpicm and it was probably part of what is called a"cordinated night illumniation mission"(wherein the "lum" rounds are fired first and the HE-DP is fired onto the target that is lit up by the "lum" Its a real fun mission to fire
  20. Uh.. I might be walking into a trap here but isn't the little hand on the 8 and the big hand straight up
  21. When some of the metro guys get bored they will toss chem lites on the weather ballons- then stand back and read about ufo sightings the next morning
  22. The one that kills me is the female one star talking about PTSD- she looks like she has ODed on psych meds
