  1. Active duty? That or a contractor for... Choose you're words wisely. They can and will be used against you. The whole world is watching and NOTHING posted can be erased.
  2. NOT in Tenn. in a PAC for 38.00 Sometimes you have to accept loss and move on... To stay on topic, I live every third day at the firehouse, running ambulance calls... LEARN BASIC DECON PRINCIPLES if you intend to put yourself in harms way. Wear an APPROVED N95 mask. Make one EPIC jump, and pack that shit at home! Go about it smartly...
  3. ZERO on a Kraken, BUT I hear good things. It's built specific, sooooo... Same boat as you, as I've come off a 170 Storm(custom/new to me) that I bought just for WSing as my main squeeze. 300 plus jumps later, I now fly a spanking new WINX 166. Opening are of course WAY better, but the BIG difference is the flare. SO much more! The glide on the Winx VS Storm, again, BIG difference. IMO the Storm is ground hungry, and factory tapered to be so! The only loss on the switch is toggle input. The storm shines in that dept.
  4. blessing in disguise? Let the herd thin itself (while the rest of us do the right things.)
  5. Jerry, NEVER has the double edged sword been so sharp. I'll vote blue just like I always do... Love, Tim
  6. have you seen the current situation/shit show? Can't really see it getting much worse... I mean, creepy uncle Joe is my only out? FML
  7. co signing, LOSE LOSE.
  8. Get the ATC2, and don't piss away money in a tunnel. My .02. My take on WS tunnels, transitions, what else are you really going to get out of it?
  9. Perspective from the front line here in Frederick, MD. Three weeks ago while working an overtime shift "down town", I witnessed A LOT of people not taking the social distancing seriously. Today at the grocery story I got a more dire vibe. One dude was rocking a tyvex suit! Many more people wearing masks of some sort... For me, the Firefighter, I was sent home after an EMS call to the local assisted living facility. The Patients ONLY symptom was coughing. No fever or ANY other sign or symptom. I went in wearing only a N95 and gloves. This was a flagged PUI (person under investigation) call, the proper PPE was mask, gloves, eye wear AND gown. I went through a FULL decon and sent hope for self isolation until the PT's covid test came back. Negative thank goodness. Full return to work! Even if the PT had been positive I feel strongly that the minimal PPE I had on would have protected me. This is REAL, people who have down played it are waking up and realizing that this isn't going away anytime soon.

    Q

    You need the Q decoder ring. (found in select Cracker Jack boxes)
  11. I would strongly suggest finding the positivity in our current situation. Tell us what you did today? Plans for when this wave recedes...? I myself am working today, however, yesterday the wife and I made our first "split" from our bee hive. Three weeks and fingers crossed that the girls and boys get it right!

    covid-19

    I believe it relieves, NOT cures.
  13. THIS PANDEMIC is real. THIS should be a wake up for anyone not taking this very real crisis as serious as it is. I'm SO glad the brother is going home. KEY WORD: HOME. It's where you should be... It's going to come down to peer pressure and a stronger police presence.

    Look harder, that's 100% of the Governors...But I digress.
  15. MORAL OF THIS STORY: Start taking this shit serious. The sooner the better. You know who you are.
  16. I left active in 02, deployments were the only thing that kept me from staying current, obviously we kept getting paid. It's a different animal now, for sure!...

    You typed that believing Trump had ANYTHING to do with that decision making process. Other than occupying the same room... Come on man. "I mean, this is really big stuff, big ships, with a lot of band aids, coming to a really big city. This is big stuff". ~Best President evah.
