Did you take a picture of me?? Well gee, asshole, I dunno--how about all the times you have been repeatedly and permanently kicked out of forums, yet you still continued coming back? Everyone knows that the biggest wars you have ever had have been with me--so you try to pull this "here's a picture of you" bullshit, yet whenever you get banned, you do anything you have to do, just to come back and post more--normally those posts are directed to me! You break rule after rule. You create new screen names by the dozens. Here's a hint, retard--when a forum has to restructure an entire section JUST TO KEEP YOU OUT, youre in over your head. And you STILL keep coming back. How many times have you been banned, yet you still cannot stay away?!? Face it--not much happens here besides the combat board crap. So, dont tell some bullshit story about how or why you took a picture of me--we already know the answer. Thanks for playing, Queen Ark2 03-17-2008, 12:39 AM not sure. do tell........ I'll just say that it's an inside joke because it'll save me the agony of trying to explain something to you. Anyway, I'm off to bed, I happen to have responsibilities beyond making a four egg omelette and scratching my ass with a spatula. Eatmyclutch 03-17-2008, 12:42 AM Give myself a bj.

Oh, I also want to hit as many islands on a boat that I can before I die. :) sonofabelch 03-17-2008, 07:39 AM Good morning! Whoa! Look at all the shit I stirred. I'm still mopping up the tears.

I was referring to you trying to be the NetNanny of STB. I got no need to hump the aussie's leg, I realize the futility of trying to flirt with some girl over the internet. Perhaps you should look towards taking your own advice there, kiddo. Beauty Queen? You must be one ugly son of a bitch if you look at me like that (and/or gay). The international issues I work on have nothing to do with tree hugging. sonofabelch 03-17-2008, 11:31 AM I could give a shit about what you say to the Aussie.

Yeah, Sky likes to get high Ark2 03-18-2008, 08:36 PM Is there anything more annoying then getting stuck at a bus stop with a bunch of Chinese fobs? No wonder the PRC gives those fuckers such a hard time, I'd want to oppress them too. czarofzar 03-18-2008, 08:44 PM That was random. what the fuck are you talking about, ark? Ark2 03-18-2008, 08:51 PM I've decided to turn this thread into my post whore thread. skydivr7673 03-18-2008, 08:53 PM 30,000 ft? yeah, a typical civilian skydive would start somewhere around 9-10K feet, sometimes a little higher The jumper freefalls until somewhere around 4,000 AGL, then pulls his chute. A HALO jump starts between 25000 and 35000 feet, and you freefall until typically around 3000 AGL. The lowest I ever got a canopy was around 1100 AGL, had to cut away and pull my reserve. When youre falling that fast, 1100 feet above the ground isnt much to work with. But starting from that high, it is the absolute wildest thing--when you get lower you can tell youre getting lower because things on the ground start looking bigger and bigger, but when you first exit, its more a sensation of flying than falling. Problem is that after you do things like this, everything that you used to like, like roller coasters and things like that, suddenly doesnt do that much for you. wotnartd 03-18-2008, 08:55 PM I'm familiar with the term and concept of a HALO jump, but aren't HALO jumps kinda... pricey? skydivr7673 03-18-2008, 09:06 PM not when uncle sam foots the bill....in fact, I havent done a HALO since I got out of the service. Done some typical civvie jumps, but nothing too fancy wotnartd 03-18-2008, 09:08 PM not when uncle sam foots the bill....in fact, I havent done a HALO since I got out of the service.

Eatmyclutch 03-18-2008, 09:23 PM Has anyone ever been to a wedding recital before where some little snot-nosed kid steals the microphone and starts running around with it, screaming utter nonsense and jibberish into it while ducking under chairs and hidding behind the stage as pissed off and annoyed adults resort to yelling at him in the hopes that he'll stop until they realize the utter futility of their civilized attempts and take to chasing after this little demon child with a fanaticism that otherwise contradicts the general state of platitude that consumes their everyday lives that gradually builds and boils over to the point where when they finally catch the little shit, they've blown the situation way out of proportion and now begin to start a scene as equally disruptive, though perhaps mildly more entertaining than the one that initially set off this debacle and ultimately teach the child nothing about civility? Me neither.... shut the fuck up EMC! uh huh czarofzar 03-19-2008, 06:21 AM I've decided to turn this thread into my post whore thread. By all means, sir. After you.

What kind of speeds do hit on your way down? skydivr7673 03-19-2008, 09:32 AM Terminal velocity is right around 120 mph, but if you tuck into a dive you can go faster. I read somewhere once that the speed record for a freefall without any special equipment was over 300 mph. Then, there was Joseph Kittinger, who rode a balloon to an altitude of 102,800 feet, then jumped from it. There were many claims made, but his own telling of the story puts his speed at .9 Mach. He used a stabilizing drogue chute on that jump, and the speed and altitude records still stand today. If I recall right, this happened in the early 60s. thats gotta be one sick ride... dano670 03-19-2008, 10:06 AM Terminal velocity should vary quite a bit by altitude, so 120 was probably easily exceeded in a HALO jump. I knew about Kittinger, reaching near the speed of sound on his way down, so I am guessing that tucked you would probably hit around 300 mph at that altitude (30K to 20K feet). skydivr7673 03-19-2008, 10:33 AM emphasis in a HALO was always more on control than speed of descent, so we didnt train to dive for better speed. The trick of it is to stay close to the rest of the team so that you can all land in the same small area. I never did a HALO jump just for the fun of it, but it was probably my favorite part of it all. Still, diving from that altitude would be quite a trip....now youve got me wanting to go do one again..... Supper 03-20-2008, 06:06 PM HALO was one of the reasons I was looking to go into the Army. Sounded like one hell of a fun time. dano670 03-21-2008, 02:34 AM Staying close to the team must be pretty challenging. Especially with the air being thinner up there and having a limited ability to slow down (no speed brake to hit). You did the jumps at night correct? Did you guys wear NVGs? Alex-7 03-21-2008, 04:23 AM While I'm man enough to post my pic on the innuhnet. I'm a total pussy when it comes to jumping out of a plane. I'll never ever do it. You guys are fucking crazy. And yes, stfu emc. |
