Foggy 0 #1 September 9, 2013 7 yr layoff (work, life, health issues, as the prop turns etc). Refresher training yesterday and get introduced to my instructor. He looks at me odd then he says "you taught my FJC!" We worked well on the ground and then a nice low key 2 way. I guess he will be an evaluator if I decide to get my ratings back Foggy Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Deisel 38 #3 September 9, 2013 Now that's funny, I don't care who you are! Take it as a compliment. You helped someone years ago that has given back to the sport. Keep paying it forward.

Foggy 0 #7 September 10, 2013 hah! Hope you weren't hard on him… Nah but I was supposed to pull in place and I kept slipping away from him as he lurked on my side. Kinda like a nervous twitch I did take it very much as a compliment but also things change in 7 years and I respected his currency and professionalism. On a side note I used to weigh in at 190lbs jumping a Spectre170. I now weigh 150lbs so what should a 49 yr old with mad skills really be flying?

hookitt 1 #8 September 10, 2013 Foggy ... I now weigh 150lbs so what should a 49 yr old with mad skills really be flying? Read my profile. Fly that Really though, at your jump numbers and previous choice, Safire2 129 or even a Crossfire2 129. Get on a 135 something other than spectre after a few jumps ,then try one out. You'll be pleasantly surprised. Welcome back.My grammar sometimes resembles that of magnetic refrigerator poetry... Ghetto Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

steveorino 7 #13 October 25, 2013 Oooo ..takes me way back. I went through Special Forces training in '77. One guy was especially hard on me, but I made it some how. I went to UWO (SCUBA) school in '78. Very hard school. Of 30 Green Berets who started only 9 finished. That next summer I ran a "pre Scuba" course ... Guess who was in it? Yep! oh, BTW, he did not pass. steveOrino Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Yep! oh, BTW, he did not pass. Well, you can flutter-kick them to death, if you want. For some reason my section NCOIC decided to invite our 1SG to pool PT with us. He showed up with a bag of 'goodies'. He is a green-hatter, but none of us realized he used to be on a dive team and SCUBA. We didn't make that mistake again.
