bch7773 0 #52 July 9, 2004 I have a really hard time saying the word "first" in normal conversations with whuffos. they all look at me weird whenever i say "pre-second" when outside, i constantly look for holes in the clouds. several times while taking a normal commercial airplane flight, i check my altimeter hand. once when walking outside when it was really windy in my face, i tried several times to pull down my face shield.

WrongWay 0 #53 July 9, 2004 BREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEATHE........ Any time I feel my muscles tense up because of a stressful situation or if I'm doing something like driving, I find myself taking a deep breath and letting my energy flow out of me, and my body relaxes. It's nice!! Oh, and when people ask me how much I weigh, I always ask "With or without gear?". Wrong Way D #27371 Mal Manera Rodriguez Cajun Chicken Ø Hellfish #451 The wiser wolf prevails.

Also, the backpack.. yeah, always trying to tighten my chest strap... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
FallinWoman 1 #56 July 11, 2004 Quote -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- In Reply To -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I use a backpack=type purse...and every time I put it on I go through my emergency procedures....I throw my pilot chute, say, "FUCK", then peel, pull, punch.... -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I like the "FUCK" added to the Cutaway procedures... I don't remember that particular step from my training but I imagine it would be there. It wasn't part of my training, but I try to practice what I know I will do....and both of my cutaways have involved swearing of some sort.... Another one I am guilty of...everytime I see a flag I determine jump ron and my landing pattern! ~Anne I'm a Doll!!!! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

sky_jumper22 0 #58 July 11, 2004 Whenever I'm having a conversation with someone and I nod in agreement, I can't help but feel like I just gave the cue to turn a point. So I'll wait a second or 2 and do it again (as discreet as I can) just to amuse myself then I can't help but smile. Once I zone out like that I totally lose track of the conversation at hand. Another thing is when I hear words like 'track' (as in my last sentence) or 'pull' or 'deploy' I automatically start daydreaming of skydiving and completely forget the conversation I was having.

ManBird 0 #71 July 13, 2004 QuoteChecking for your pilot cute when wearing a backpack. That one catches me off guard every once in awhile.Totes. That one and the "first" thing. I rarely say "first" in any conversation. I also accidentally say "slot" a bit. I went to the movies last night and asked if any "slots" were left. Wouldn't have even noticed if the ticketperson didn't ask what I meant (which is dumb -- "slots", "seats" -- close enough, dumbass)."¯"`-._.-¯) ManBird (¯-._.-´"¯" Click Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
