First rule about landing in power lines: "DON'T LAND IN POWER LINES!" I guess there needs to be a caveat about double mals... but I don't think I'll tell my students that. Kind of like this mal And by the by I gonna have to say there is a horse shove shoved somewhere I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle -

Most definatley, look in the face of a student who has only done tandems/ AFF when it is time for their Clear and Pull, a whole new world of terror I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

If you break it down, S/L students tend to take a couple extra jumps to complete the A card then the AFF and the Tandem ISP students. So it really does come out even (or in many cases, more expensive) in the end. AD, when I was going through, I made the S/L decision b/c it seemed cheaper but I was jumping a lot more to lean a little, S/L was a steep learning curve for me, when I changed over I did LvII to Grad without ever having to repeat, the video, the in air instruction, it all came together, and all in all I think I spent maybe $100 or so more than if I had continued S/L at the rate that I was learning at I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

I agree, I did something like 9 S/Ls before I wised up and Pay more? Nah, it all averages out pretty much the same when all is said and done I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

Nope, Saw an interview with "The Old Gunny" and the way he describes it he was an advisor to the film and the actor they had playing the Drill Sergeant was not doing what the director had in mind, the Director had Ermey show him what a Staff SGt in the Corp would to and everyone just said, ah Screw it let Ermey do it, acto canned, Gunny In, and to hear him talk about having to hit the big Pvt Pyle, "Oh man I hope I don't piss this big guy off and he whoop my ass" And on the book the book "The Short Timers" is the book of Full Metal Jacket ( had to go to my book shelf) and covers it all, and the reason the movie seems to leave off in the middle, is because it does, the fight at the Champagne (?) River, is barely half waay through the novel http://www.gustavhasford.com/Full.htm I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

Ok, let me see how I do: I'm plugged to the internet almost all day, or playing Doom 3, then go to work, WITH COMPUTERS, and hooked to the net of course, come back home by 2am, go to bed and repeat the routine. weekends, if the weather is nice I go to the dz, otherwise, repeat the routine above....DAMN!!!! I HAVE NO LIFE!!!! OK. lets see, I am a fireman, when I go to work 7am to 5pm we train, clean, preplan buildings. After 5 we still have until 7 am the next morning until we leave, watch TV and read, if nothing happens. Get home have 2 days off and a wife who works nights as a nurse so to be very quiet and not disturb her I plug in, not as bad as Ivan but still pretty sad I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

Did your Momma have any other children that lived Private Pyle? And that is what the random Colonel said to joker over in the Vietnam when he asked Joker about his Peace symbol on his flak vest and Born to Kill on his helmet, and Joker replied about the duality of man You should read the book the movie is based on "Born to Kill" much better Ebit because Er I'm a tard, I got to thinking about it and went to my books, "The Short Timers" is the book that FMJ was based on I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

Absolutely, on my 2nd S/L my JM had seen my walking around with a disposable camera and asked if I wanted a pic of me on the strut, sure. Well on the strut I go and as he raises the cam's view finder to his eye with both hands, he also raises the S/L, putting tension on it, the supposed "ARCH Thousand, 2 thousand, 3 thousand check thousand" became Arch thousand 2 thou- WTF is this parachute doing here, needless to say the DZO met old boy in the Landind area and had a topic specific chat with him Look at the pic closely and you can see the stows popping off my rig I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle

Many moons ago when I entered the Fire SErvice I used to get extreme rushes from Fire calls, after I began skydiving though my internal spaz module developed a much higher threshold. I see guys on my crew with double the amount of time in the dept as I have get twice as excited as I do. Having that said I do some sport rappelling and am on the S.O.R.T. (Special Operations Response Team) at work whici constists of High Angle Rope rescue, Hazardous Materials and Search and Rescue resposes, so no I am not a Junkie, I just need it to feel balanced, I think that I am the sanest person I know I'm not afriad of dying, I'm afraid of never really living- Erin Engle
