Thats kinda the point. We do NOT jump rounds anymore. Todays student canopies have a forward speed and approach. Sometimes not enabling the student to get into the best PLF position. Drilling it into a students head, like he or she is in a military FJC, for hours and hours is stupid. If they learn the reason and the dynamics of it during the training, and they exibit that they can do it correctly, then it's time to move on to other areas of the train program IMO. Be safe Ed Be safe Ed Gotcha.. In that case I dont and wont feel bad about rolling my eyes when I read or hear about someone breaking their leg from flaring to high or to low. It is their responsibility to think about getting their feet and knees together.

The leaders of our "elite" Army forces complaining about walking what seemed to be a mile . Sheesh! No wonder I'm cynical! She was an ROTC cadet... Not apart of the Airborne... Its a bit different. She came from college and went back to college after completion of the course... No offense Shauna. Okay, let me repharse... Airborne soldier complaining about walking what seemed to be a mile, Sheesh! No wonder Im cynica! That better? Nope... She was an ROTC cadet that for whatever reason got a slot in airborne school.....

Sometime you could spend over an hour or more explaining and doing PLF's on the ground, and the student seem to forget it upon landing. Is an hour enough?

In many threads I see people mention that they broke their ankle, leg or foot landing. These are usually people with under 60 jumps or so. 9 times out of 10 a PLF can prevent breaking something. You might get up using a string of profanity but you will get up with your bones intact. During my AFF ground course we spent maybe 10 minutes on the PLF. Because I am retarded I had more than one occasion where I flared to high or to low and had to PLF. I was lucky because I had been to army airborne school and the PLF is permenantly engraved in muscle memory. Anyway, If I had only used the training I received in my AFF ground course to PLF I would have broken something. My question is how long did you guys focus on the PLF during your AFF ground training?? Do you think there should be more focus on it?

Where did you here this ? Quote from rom BBC news "he was found dead in his cell on Saturday morning and that although the cause was not yet clear, there was no indication of suicide." http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/world/europe/4796470.stm No mention of any weapon used. It's a shame he died before he was tried. John heard it from a third party before I read the story.. Thanks for the info

Dude you are such a dick for posting a poll like this... Funny as shit though... I would say the religious text that is most accurate would be december 1989's issue of Mad Magazine... Well its as accurate.....

It's refreshing to see it spelled out honestly for once. I'm reminded of Benjamin Franklin: That quote makes me all warm and fuzzy but Ben Franklin didnt have to worry about Religous fanatics ramming planes into skyscrapers.

Apparently the cost is freedom itself. Its impossible to maintain both security and freedom... What you will have to realize is to make the country more secure we will have to give up some freedom. How much freedom are you willing to give up for security? If you say none you are naive.
