You were a flyer in Nam?? Wow. I wasn't even born then (and I'm not young anymore). You guys went through your own he!! there. Respect to you and your fellow soldiers.I believe in jumpers....I remember an incident back in the day when a fellow student pilot at Fort Wolters, Texas climbed up to the roof of our barracks, and was screaming and crying that he was going to kill himself. It was a hotter then blazes Sunday afternoon, I had barracks duty, and the campus was empty save for a few of us poor souls who were being punished with base restrictions due to "motivational" issues. Anyway, this poor kid was being washed out from flight school because after 3 attempts and failing to master hovering techniques, and an inability to learn auto rotation, which resulted in one T-55 totally destroyed, the Army decided it was time he do something else.
I managed to climb up to the roof to try to talk some sense into him, but to make a long story short, he wouldn't have any of my BS. So I called down to one of my fellow students to not call the MP's, but instead, muster up a few of the guys and to bring brooms, mops, shovels, and to pay out the fire hose 'cause the kid was going to jump.
The kid looked at me and gave me one of those WTF looks, when I calmly told him that we were ready whenever he was, when he blurted out, "what are you going to do with the fire hose and buckets...", and I said that after he jumped, I would be responsible for the policing up of the mess that he would make, that the shovels would scoop up his body parts, and the fire hose and brooms would scrub and wash away his blood, urine, and caca.
Well, he didn't jump, and I didn't really encourage him not to, so by way of China, I say to you OP, jump and make sure it's worth your while, 'cause there may be no going back if you do.
I sometimes think about this guy, his name I forgot ages ago, and wonder if he's alive today. What was certain though, was that he was the luckiest guy in the world at the time. He spent a few months in a rubber room, got a medical discharge, and got to live his life hopefully very happily...65% of my flight class never made it back to the world from the 'Nam, so I would say the would be jumper won the lottery that day.

Get them all excited, then exit without actually feeding ANY of them.Gotta love how the OP has yet to post again in here three pages later...true sign of not a real thread....yes im grouchy this morning
While you observe their behavior from another area. Taking notes and laughing your @ss off the entire time.Last edited by [email protected]; 03-25-12 at 03:54 PM.

It would make sense as to why he hasn't been back, because what kind of {deleted words} would keep coming back to CB if they found a new device?Gotta love how the OP has yet to post again in here three pages later...true sign of not a real thread....yes im grouchy this morning03-25-12 06:07 PM
What if you could get everyone in the world to vote and when they tallied them it was EVEN. "You" still have to decide for yourself. It isn't closed yet purely for the entertainment factor.
