Re: Put a Face to a Forum Member
Aye. Back in the 80's I was trained as a cannon Artilleryman to fight the Soviet Army. Now, two decades later, some of closer colleagues served in that Soviet Army, and I've been re-trained to defend against a very different enemy. If only I could just retire, get a big house with views of mountains, and settle down to enjoy family, photography, medals & orders, model trains, good books, and learn to make beer, wine, and hootch... Wouldn't life be grand?

Hootch - you know, rotgut, moonshine, homemade raki, whiskey, slivowicz, etc. Booze of the domestically produced variety!

Taken at my last static line jump. All jumps after this were free fall. White spot next to my right ankle is a twenty five foot diameter landing zone.

Re: Put a Face to a Forum Member
I'm a "Five Jump Chump" with five static-line jumps at 1200 feet courtesy of Uncle Sugar 22 years ago. It was a thrill, but I'm not inclined to do it again. The wings are cool, but all five times I hit the ground like a sack of sh_t.

The new sport chutes versus the military versions put you down as soft as a feather.
