Wow that is much better than NAS Lakehurst, NJ in March   

Lakehurst sucks all year 'round, not just in March.

I'd like to skydive once or twice, but I have a gravitational attraction higher than most (hey instructor, wanna see how quickly we can hit terminal velocity?).

Maybe someday.

Well I get your humor here, but in reality all objects fall at the same rate. The air resistance is the only mitigating factor, and unless your talking about extremes from one end to the other on human weights it wouldn't make a difference for you.

My only suggestion is don't lie about your weight when you fill out the forms. The equipment is rigged for weight combos between you and the tandem diver.

I wish I could learn how to skydive! I'm jealous of y'all!

What is stopping you?

My apologies to the Sikorsky Crowd Killer driver for derailing his topic.

So NIN, Sir...

...what are your badges saying about you?

So NIN, Sir...

...what are your badges saying about you?

Lets see:

Army Aviation Badge + Senior Ground Team: "I'd rather fly to work than walk"

Army Aviation Badge + CAP Observer: "Whoa! I bet it sucks down there on the ground!"

I don't have any lead-sleds, so my uniform doesn't reflect the ability to exit in flight, but if CAP reinstated jumpwings:

Army Aviation Badge + CAP Jumpwings: "I'll just see my way to the door, thanks."

CAP Observer + CAP Jumpwings: "Oh, look, the door on the GA-8 is opeeeeennnnnnnnnn....."

[Luis R. Ramos]

Thank you sir, those were great!

:clap:  :clap:  :clap:

CAP Observer + Incident Commander = You'll fly where I tell you.
GBD + Incident Commander = Once upon a time, a really long time,  I walked in the woods too.

[Luis R. Ramos]

Do not have the Communicators Badge yet but I am working for it...

GTM3/GTL badges + Communicators Badge:

For when I get lost in the woods...

GTM3/GTL badges + Communicators Badge:

Maybe that's the "Human ELT Simulator" competency?

[Eclipse]

GBD + Incident Commander

"Who has time to read regs?  People are dying in the streets!"

[wuzafuzz]

Master Communicator + Emergency Services Technician + Mission Observer + GTM3 = I learned ground pounder and aviator lingo so I can plan to tell people where to go.   

[Spaceman3750]

GTL (and that's it) = mission base and Cessna 172 cabins suck.

[Luis R. Ramos]

Communicators Badge and ES Patch:

Better be safe and secure here at the base!

Ranger Third Class+ GTM3+Observer= Pick Me Pick Me, ILL go Anywhere!!

[Critical AOA]

What is a Ranger Third Class?  All I recall from the Army when I was in was that you were either Ranger qualified and wore the tab or you weren't a Ranger.  I never realized there were different classes.
