CREW RULES, who needs to get off static line, why when you got CREW Honey, I couldn't agree more!! I'm an all time static-liner (over 250 by now) and finally got to CReW. I just figured: if I'm gonna need a JM anyway, why not take him along for a nice ride Did just 6 CRW jumps, scared the shit out of my last JM, but I'm hooked for life! Mar

You will probably get answers from Instructors as well (I hope!!), but here is what I've learned: as a student, do not change the reserveprocedure you've learned. You will only get confused and you're bound to make mistakes up there; not very advisable. I read a story once of a student that came back to the skies after some 10 years or so. He claimed to have forgotten his former reserveprocedure. He learned a new one. But some time later, when he decided to do a cutaway, he flawlessly went to back to what he had learned at his first course! Apparently, what has once been drilled into you, somehow sticks in you as sort of a muscle memory thing. Now I know that there are some instances that you HAVE to change procedure (e.g. tandemmasters), but as a general rule I'd say; stick to what is already there in your mind; you'll be safer that way. (even if a cutaway takes a little more time than it might have done had you used the other method.) B safe!

(for all of you who don't me; I'm a dedicated static-liner (200+ jumps)traying to have some CRW-fun. Pics were taken on my 2nd instruction-jump and first-ever 2-way stack.
