I realize that skydiving and/or free-fall might be old-hat for most of the folks on this board, but I just tackled my first free-fall this weekend, and it was awesome! I thought static line was fun, but nothing really beats free-fall at 13,000 feet above the mountains in Utah (except maybe HALO, per...

Aw, shit.. That was hilarious. :D :D

The gun store is out here in my neck of the woods. The owner's a real piece of work.

Outstanding 3 1/2 year old! You should be proud.. On another note, my (now 11) son had the same general symptoms, and after 2 years, we finally got a diagnosis and went in for neural surgery (a few months ago). Turned out, he had a condition that caused TUBERS (somewhat like tumors) on the major org...

K.Ingraham: So, I'm noticing. KWDriver, for one.. I've only been a "passenger" in a Kiowa, but it was a hell of a ride, considering our old Huey's had a max speed of 100knots, but only if we exceeded SOP. I have fairly thick skin.. shit, can't come into an LZ and play crew-chief, medic, do...

Now mattter how you slice it, that ride had to suck!

On another note, do your crew chiefs provide cookies/treats on each mission? All the pilot's I've flown with (especially the 'NAM vets), required that we provide at least a good 2 dozen cookies per mission.

SHIT! As a former UH1H crewmember, I can tell you that a low altitude tail-rotor loss (which is what looks like happened) here is the scariest thing that can occur.. No autorotate time or capability there. :o

Thanks for all the "welcome" messages. While I submit that I was never in the same category as most of you hard-core gentlemen, I'm honored to read the BS that's being flung here.

"..can someone find me a bucket of rotorwash?" :D

Uh.. without a doubt! Me likes the big and little boobies!

RRDTm3: Shit, in retrospect, I think my cock-size must have been the real reason. Perhaps it was too small???? Damned, West Point candiots!

:D

"I hear the choppers coming...."

LRP1: On the West Point nominee status, since I was a DEP at the time, my military medical jacket indicated an "allergic reaction" to some kind of insect bite. Even though I was injected with every strain of biting insect (bees, spider, etc) at that time, West Point still disqualified my a...

Avatar fixed..

Not sure why I couldn't upload my graphic, but had to ultimately place it on my public website to make it accessible.

I sure as hell wasn't going to use one of those porn fuckers as my logo!

First, a bit of background stats: - Son of 28 year US Army (MSG/E8 ) - Brother to active duty Air Force (E8 ) - Lived throughout the world, but mostly Europe - US Military Academy (West Point) nominee in 1986 (Sen. Hatch & Garn) - JROTC and ROTC participant - US Army UH-1H (Huey) crew chief/crew...
