    Im sure some dz are safer than others but when it comes down to being a student, you are depending on the aircraft, your gear, your instructor, and especially yourself. as long as there isnt too much traffic like at a big dz , it shouldnt be a problem because of seperate landing areas etc. yes things can go wrong and caution whould always be taken. Im not in anyway saying dont do research but dont be to quick to dismiss a small dz. Im just trying to save homeboy some money Live Love Learn FLY

    dude, tandems are expensive. goto the cheapest place possible. if you can go somewhere in the midwest and do a static line course, i would do it if it means saving 1000 buckies. when all is said and done, youll have your A licnese anyways before you can fun jump. I got trained at ELOY in arizona. loved every bit of it and learned alot BUT i wish i could have saved money when getting into the sport that way i would have money for a rig and to get my jump numbers up. They are expensive but it is a little too late for me to go back and do it all over. I didnt know of any other places. that and i wanted the most well known place for saftey reasons. but honestly. almost anywhere that is on dz.com will prolly be safe otherwise they wouldnt be open. i have heard of people spending less than 2000 where i spent about 3500 when i was done. you make the choice. if elsinore is cheaper, and closer, go there. who says you cant jump at perris when your done.

    i say screw it. if someone that knows how to packs watches you and says you did it right andi t is NOT required to have your license. i HAD to take one before i got my A license but that consisted of me watching one and doing one at the same time. that was it. i then proceeded to pack my own from then on. First one had a pretty mean twist but that was probably my body position Live Love Learn FLY

    im not a swooper yet but theres also a bumch of ponds north of the main landing area. swooping in the alt wouldnt be good because the main and alt share a corner almost. theres an alt alt out by the tunnel. but thats a walk Live Love Learn FLY

    dont waste your money man. before i got into jumping. i put a blow off valve, chipped, cold air intake on my 1.8 gti. now that i think about it, i could have spent that money on more jumps. i was just bored i guess. personally i think making an average car fast is dumb. if you want to spend $ making a car fast, buy a fast car with the extra money. and omg if you live in CA look into buying a legal CAI. i ran into problems with mine Live Love Learn FLY

    I guess it depends on what you want the military for. most want to get out of town, get some money for education, etc. I was looking into active duty but they did not have a job i wanted that would benefit me on the outside. i looked into a reserve unit out in CA. i landed a job doing respiratory therapy. paid to goto school. paid very well on the outside. and all i owe is 6 years active reserve time. I also get TA but not nearly as good as the active duty GI bill which im sure you already know about. all these people have already told you about what could happen eg; not close to a dropzone or being deployed. if you do go in. dont expect to jump until you're out of tech school. mine was like 2 years long. your not supposed to do high risk activities but dont ask dont tell. If i didnt join i wouldnt have the fundage to be doing what im doing now. good luck:) Live Love Learn FLY

    Ive only ever had one FB. Some of the best ive ever had. After a while i wanted more, just not from her. I always had a feeling she just said she didnt care but ill never know, but thats been over for a while. Anyways the answer is simple. Kissing is okay in the bedroom or wherever you are at the time of the deed. Body kissing is part of forplay and what does it make a difference if you kiss the mouth or the privates. The real question is whether or not you show affection when your done and leaving. i personally think a hug is a happy medium. not as seious as a kiss but not as bad as just leaving. friends hug friends right Live Love Learn FLY

    as far as religion is concerned, i think a lot of people are hypocrits and im not even going to get into that right now. i say make her do her time. and forget about it. im sick of hearing about that girl everywhere i go. she wouldnt be so famous if morons werent so obsessed with people on tv. if i saw her walking down the street, shed be lucky if she got a second look. shes not even that hot Live Love Learn FLY
