skygypsie 2 #1 April 5, 2011 I was reading through Licenses, Ratings & Awards in this months Parachutist. [ April '11; B licenses on p. 30.] I have a couple questions: Where is QAT ? It is not indicated in Parachutists-International or National DZ Directory. Why would, or how are, some individuals assigned multiple B licenses to the same individual ?

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #2 April 5, 2011 Quatar perhaps? I want to know where "MYS" is. There were a bunch in last month's. And I would guess that is is simply 2 people with the same name. I'd be willing to guess that there is more than one "John Smith" with a USPA license."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."

skygypsie 2 #4 April 5, 2011 Thanks Joe ! I noticed one name receiving something like 5 licenses ! Missed you at GBSD's Safety Day, but no doubt will see you at the Wolf River/ Green Bay Skydivers Cancer Benefit Boogie in July. As a matter of fact, Punk & Bad Andy have set a pre-meeting for Staff participating & donating their time; for this Saturday the 9th, at GBSD. Will we see you there ?

crotalus01 0 #6 April 5, 2011 Hmmm. MYS is Moyale, Ethiopia in the IATA 3 letter city codes. USPA must not be using IATA codes because there is no skydiving I know of in Ethiopia and there is no IATA code QAT - I would also guess QAT is Quatar... As for me and my house, we will serve the LORD... Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

wolfriverjoe 1,523 #9 April 5, 2011 MYS = Malaysia in the NATO codes. Thank you. It wasn't a huge deal, but it was bugging me."There are NO situations which do not call for a French Maid outfit."
