high: 3 weeks at Toogoolawah (AU) having a blast. Low: Having a minor stroke and spending 3 days in the hospital. high: Going home for a month and buying a new Key West 216 Bay Reef and fishing for 3 weeks. Low: There is nothing wrong with my head and I am back at WORK in the desert. BTW one rule I would ask every one to follow is... Don't have a stroke. Live fast die hard.

If the position you are seeking is with a defence contractor you should only need a NAC ( National Agency Check). This is used to show that you are trust worthy enough to walk around areas where there is secret information being bandied about that you might hear or see information and not run out and tell all you buds. You really don't have the need to know but you still know cause every one talks all the time and way to loud. If clearances are less than a year old they can be transfered with no problems. Money troubles and truthfulness are the biggest disqaulifiers. Be honest and you will probably get cleared. BTW I have been waiting 2 years for my clearance but then again I'm a "fun loving criminal". One more thing, the investigators are about as far behind as they can get with trying to screen what 50,000 air hole TSA agents. Good luck

hey all. I'm 32 and and had a stroke about a month ago while on vaca in au. had all the tests and I'm normal and they can't find a reason to explain the stroke. Do I stop jumping, because that is what everyone wants and expects, or do I keep jumping, because that is what I want to do? Could it kill me? Could it not? I want to jump. What should I do? I have talked to two different doctors and neither one of them has said that skydiving was a direct cause of the stroke. The family has said that skydiving was a direct risk factor for my stroke, that and the smoking and the drinking and I am trying to minimize those risk factors. What do you all think? Has anyone else ever heard of anything like this? Can I keep jumping without dying or should I stop jumping?

Was a Navy diver for 5 years. Used to dive closed circuit mixed gas rigs and do some long decompresion stops on the way to altitute (SL). That was work so never really felt like doing it for fun afterwards. No diving since 96 plus it's a bit to slow.

Pretty normal, 107 years with the screws and 7500 quid.

JC thats my sister. Time to have a talk.

57 days and counting. 15 days in Oz mostly at Ramblers I guess. It's gonna rock. The nice thing about QL is the perfect weather all the time. The count down has begun.

HS the Shovels rock. Hadn't thought of them since i was last in Oz. If any one hasn't seen their videos you couldn't possibly know.

Your right. I apologize. Won't happen again.

Can't you please make an exception concerning rgroper... Please

What they should do is keep the air line and buy an island. Fly all the patrons/johns down to the island that is BTW full of Russian ladies/H*^$#%s and they would make a fortune. No need to make a six hour flight to Amsterdam for some of the good stuff. Just an idea.

See thats why the Marines work for the Navy. That one just got away from us for a few minutes. Remember children...Explosives are no joke.

Welcome my new found American brother. Soon you'll be paying your taxes and mine as well...Thank you. Sincerely, Your new found American brother. P.S. I'm sorry and kidding

Simple. Go to Oz. Sunshine coast. You will not regret it. The unfortunate part is you'll be stuck in a rut like me, where when any one asks about or mentions AU or a place to go on holiday you will instantly start rambling about what a great place it is and how you/they should go visit.
-
Ohh your asking for it. . I'm not religious and I'm pretty sure GOD him self would be a VB man. You just need more time in AU.

Please, please for the love of god man will you please spell the name of the country right. It is spelled QATAR in every other country in the world. I feel I have to correct you on this or some local might see it and take offense and think that no Amaricans that live in the region care to learn about their country enough to spell it right. Sorry just bothered me.

Sinker, Yup It's coming. My guess is 17 Mar. If it's gonna happen, happen. They are fucking up way to many of my weekends which are few and far between. And none of you all give me any shit either cause I've been over here for 28 month straight. ahh PEACE

Blood group hah! I just got my Kill number today. When I asked them why I got a blank stare. First letter of your last name and your last four. Told them that I didn't need one and since they insisted, I had to advertise it. I put it on a piece of tape on my kevlar under another piece of tape that said "

OZ. Greatest place I've ever visited. And I still drink VB regularly in Qatar. Can't beat the weather or the jumpers in Toogoolawah.

Mark, I have about six tandems on the book for tomorrow (saturday) and around 15 for sunday. I need vidiots and meat haulers, so come on down to Raeford if you want to work. First to sign the roster gets first work. No advertising on DZ forums.

If any of the peeps on this website ever make it to Al Udeid in Qatar stop by the power plant just out side of Camp Andy and ask if there are any Skydivers around. They'll point you in my direction. I've been over here for two years and can help you out with the three beer limit and any other questions/wants you have.
