    All this rig talk is getting to me... Guess I'm going to go assemble and pack my new Vector 3... Its only my... 3rd skydiving rig, but still...

    How much responsibility does the owner have? Mark Not saying that they weren't also responsible, but the rigger packed and sealed it like that.

    I bet the PD reps who are there could help you out. Someone had the damn thing signed out up until the PD guy was packing up... He did hook me up with a free demo going to z-hills for me in a few days.

    I hear they are coming out with something 'new' to make such situations safer...SNAPS on the legstraps! Seems you don't have to be a yoga instructor to get the parachute on & off when using them! I heard about that option... How did you find out about them?? Damn gear makers not spilling the info on all the cool NEW toys.

    US FAA Part 105.43c states: So, its ok to change them every year, but for us in the US, we have to change them atleast twice a year, just because our repack cycle is 180 days? Why not leave the battery changes at once a year, for everyone, and take formal action against any rigger thats packing the AAD without following your recomendations (which is illegal in the US), with the caveat that if there is a activation, the batteries must be replaced during the next repack, along with the cutter? I just purchased an Argus, and I am trying to decide if it's worth installing in my rig, seeing as I will have to change the batteries litterally every time I repack it.

    But you CAN'T say that, because it's not a BSR, its only a recommendation. "c. A USPA C license is recommended." Not required. Some DZ's will let you get away with strapping one on sooner, but it doesn't mean you should. Only 2 that I know of will let you get away with it under 100 jumps, and even then, it was the DZO's call.

    This does nothing but make the subordinates loose respect for their senior boss. If they've worked for you long enough, they will know whats your idea and whats not. Telling your 'Joes' that "This isn't my idea, but we have to get it done" has no effect on the mission getting accomplished, its gonna get done either way... It it doesnt matter whos idea it is, when the order is passed down, it becomes their idea.

    They're your airmen, tell her you will manage them how you see fit, so long as the mission gets accomplished. I've gone thru that with almost every boss I've had E-5 thru E-7(P) and they all respected that. If she still has a problem, just ask her if there is anything going on, so you can cut them loose. That was one of the perks of being a team chief, I was in charge of my team, once I had nothing left, they were free to go home to their wives, if something popped up, I would come in (or stay late) and take care of it. Mission, Men, Myself.
