    Even if I perceive that there are "glaring inequities" on DZ.com that doesn't alter my responsibility, as an adult, to abide by the HH's rules of conduct. Even if other people break the rules or I perceive the rules are unfairly enforced I shall abide by the rules, as a responsible adult.

    Hey, LM what's the deal with your avatar? I'm getting rilly confused with all this avatar swapping. Is it a snowshoe hare in a blizzard? Or a yeti playin' with cotton balls? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    It's also a good object lesson on the democratic process. 1. Only 8% of the student body cast a vote. If you have an opinion, Vote. 2. In a multi-candidate race, the popular vote winner needs less than 51% to win. "Waves of discontent are still rippling through the 2,100-student campus Jones, who is openly homosexual, received 64 of 169 votes cast, the News-Post reported." "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    What do we do for April 1, and October 31?

    The theory of MAD is that both sides have equal capacity to counter-strike thus preventing (inhibiting) both sides from initiating a first-srike. From the Soviet point of view, SDI was a first stike weapon because the "enemy" was eliminating the barrier to an initial first strike. In war games circles the best tactical choice for the Soviets was to launch their nukes first if the status quo changed. I.E. USA confirmed a working prototype for a space based ABM system. This was also part of the reasoning behind the SALT I and SALT II (ABM) treaties. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    USPA has changed a few things over the past 6 years. When I started jumping the D license was 200 jumps and 25 accuracy landings within 2 meters. I had my first accuracy landing within 2 meters on jump 20. Jump 60 I had completed a Skydive U/ Scott Miller canopy course. By the time I had 100 jumps I had racked up 15 accuracy landings towards a D-license. If you set goals for yourself, you can achieve them.

    I was confused too. I thought it was Alex posting... errg. its just too confusing for my simple mind. John, it's time for you to get a new avatar. Fourtunately for you, I have several ready made avatars. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    Any jump that meets the standard counts for accuracy. For example, if on jump 20 you land with in 2 meters of target center you would list jump 20 as an accuracy landing for the A-license proficiency card, and jump 20 could be used for your B and C-license accuracy landings.

    So, uh... Group consensus is: 1. Education and parenting today sucks! 2. Kids turn out ok, inspite of less than perfect or ideal parenting. 3. Harvard, Yale, MIT, and Cal Tech haven't had to lower their standards to maintain enrollment. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    My sport rig with a 120 main and 126 reserve tops the scales at 18 pounds. You're talking about jumping a main and reserve that are 218 sq feet. Rough guess is that rig will weigh 27 pounds... plus the weight of clothes/ helmet/etc (another 5 to 10). 33 pounds is not an unreasonable number for equipment. Why are you jumping a raven for a main? "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    If you search around on-line (google "gaffer's tape" or "permacel") you'll end up paying close to $20 (including shipping) for a 60yd roll. I've never been able to find gaffer's tape in any Lowe's Home Improvement type store. One roll will probably last you years (as long as you're not giving it away to friends).

    Navy does not classify service records they are open to public scrutiny. "The Navy maintains records of ALL of the men who go through BUD/S and SQT, and ALL of the classes that these men attend, and the units to which they are ultimately assigned. Although specifics about combat operations are not normally a part of a man’s military record (unless as part of an award or commendation), regular military personnel records accurately track what schools a man has completed and what rank he has achieved. These records are readily available from the National Personnel Records Center in St. Louis, Missouri and may be obtained under the Freedom Of Information Act (FOIA)." Your friend is pulling your chain. Please do not further disgrace the memory of Mr. Rogers and the reputation of the Navy SEALs with mis-information.

    Cool house. It has a lot of potential. I'd change the color in the bathroom and remove the wallpaper in the kitchen. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    In thinner air you are falling faster, this results in a greater change in velocity (increased opening forces) in a high altitude deployment. It's been discussed before. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken

    Ya know... if PJ found something else to do between the hours of sunset and sunrise SC would be an incredibly dull place. "Buttons aren't toys." - Trillian Ken
