Oh course he would, it'd just be more along the lines of "Get your gay ass down here and fish me out!" -Blind"If you end up in an alligator's jaws, naked, you probably did something to deserve it."

fencebuster 7 #27 January 29, 2010 No need to be on "leave" -- you can skydive on authorized liberty, like after working hours or on weekends when you are not in a duty status. I agree -- follow the proper rules and regulations so that the military will cover you for medical in the event of injury where a "line of duty/misconduct" investigation would be required for an injury that causes you to miss more than 1 day of work. I am a retired MArine Corps Judge Advocate. You are good to go so long as you are on authorized leave or liberty. No need for special command permission in the absence of a specific regulation issued by your commander. Different outcome if you are in an unauthorized absence status.Charlie Gittins, 540-327-2208 AFF-I, Sigma TI, IAD-I MEI, CFI-I, Senior Rigger Former DZO, Blue Ridge Skydiving Adventures Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
elightle 8 #28 February 2, 2010 I think the other USMC guy in this thread explained it pretty well. I was trained as a Navy/Marine Corps Parachutist so there was no problem with me jumping at the local sport parachute club. But even if I hadn't been a military jumper, I don't think it would have mattered. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
