PikzeeVikzen 0 #2 May 11, 2007 Congrats. My first AFF jumps are tomorrow. I'm nervous *bites nails* and super excited *jumps up and down*. I've been trying for a while but weather wouldn't cooperate. Looks like it will tomorrow! I'm the twist that turns your key.... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Broke 0 #6 May 11, 2007 Can we turn it into a dropzone? Do they need more FF/EMT's?Divot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHawks 0 #7 May 11, 2007 Actually, I have been out for close to three years. Starts driving you bananas. Then you want to leave, so they promote you. When i was in the Marines, about to get out, this job for a firefighter was on the bulletin board, so I applied and was hired. The job is open, anyone have a firefighting background and want to come out for 4 or so months? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BHawks 0 #8 May 11, 2007 Can we turn it into a dropzone? I wish, this island is controlled by the Fish and Wildlife Service. The emergency airport here is a thorn in their side and they contol almost every aspect of it. The only reason it is open is because of the FAA and heavy hitters like Boeing. Our whole purpose in life is to train, keep the grass down on the runway, play with our nice fire truck and keep from going insane, we drink a lot of beer and play a lot of poker. And for me...daydream about skydiving. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Broke 0 #9 May 11, 2007 How about heli jumps? You need to jump becuase there may be a remote location that you would have to send personnel quicklyDivot your source for all things Hillbilly. Anvil Brother 84 SCR 14192 Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BHawks 0 #11 May 11, 2007 No kidding, we have like a million albtross out here, and we are 1200 miles away from Honolulu. No way a Heli is flying out here, Midway is the definition of out in the middle of nowhere! Birds would make it a hazard for helis and parachutes, we only conduct aircraft operations at night.
