peanut4040 0 #201 November 15, 2007 Folks it's time to clean house at USPA. The good old boy network of DZOs has got to go. Start now finding someone from your area that is up to the challenge. Chris, my friend. Lets all slow down. Its not time to clean house with our bod. True there are some bad elements. However, the absolute WORST thing we can do,,, or even talk about doing, is getting rid of our current bod. You know me, and you know how I feel about why we are angry. So PLEASE, give this issue some time. Lets ALL cool down. and simply wait. Let this skyride asshold rant and rave all he wants to. We need to wait and see right now. THEN, If its necessary,, YOU WILL HAVE TO KEEP UP WITH ME ON WHAT YOU SAY.Its a good day to LIVE, why puck up a good thing. There is no reply in aad section for. " hell no i would not put an AAD on my back" Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
peanut4040 0 #202 November 15, 2007 What do you think the chances are of the USPA letting them back in? in "Defense", of the Exec Committe. This could end up being a insurance thang.. Insurance company says settle it, this aint worth the money. The exec comm would do what is best for skydiving in the long run. But in "non defense" of the exec commitee. Just in case the insurance company says settle it---Find out who needs to have a pointed finger. But, not knowing anything insidee,,.,,, by all means, do not get rid of them all at election time. We have a good BOD, lets not puck up a good thing next election.Its a good day to LIVE, why puck up a good thing. There is no reply in aad section for.

peanut4040 0 #204 November 15, 2007 It's time for USPA to decide if it is going to be an organization for jumpers or DZOs. Dats why i said settle down. You remember one night when I could have been called "out of line", when I was backing up your decision,, Long time ago? Seems "You" mostly, and some me, were keeping a bon fire going in the late hours of the night for a group of people at some unknown dropzone? We wee doing The "work". And this asshole (who was NOT working) decided that he did not like how you were building the fire, and I stepped up and showed my asss, to the asshold---- and went home with the pretty lady. AND,,You cleaned up my mess. Well, thats kinda the situation now. We elected some people to do the "work". Very dirty work. We need to let them do the work. If the Exec Committ lets us down, then we should intelligently ask, who was doing the work for us. Who was working on the bon fire? Who needs a finger pointed at them? i.e. Peanut, "bill von" says you can kick his ass and you wont get kicked out of here again WE do NOT need to get rid of the bod. WE have a very GOOD BODIts a good day to LIVE, why puck up a good thing. There is no reply in aad section for.

slotperfect 7 #205 November 15, 2007 Despite repeated requests from myself and others to keep it from doing so, this thread continues to move (and stay) off-topic. The original topic, the list of DZs that accept the certificates, is drowning in the off-tpoic discussion. The list will continue - Thanatos340 can PM me the additions/deletions/changes and I will edit the original list to keep it updated. If you want to find the thread, I added a link to it in the "What Can We Do About Skyride" thread. The thread is done.Arrive Safely John Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
