I don't think you would have seen moves in that video. The jumpers look to be pretty high up, much higher than the three jumps I made from helicopters, which was at 1200 feet (366 meters) above ground. As someone else posted, you don't mess around with the main chute if it does not deploy because you don't have time to. You immediately go to opening the reserve, grab it, and throw it away from you.

I once watched from the window of the an aircraft, a dog sniff every bag that was loaded onto the conveyer belt, carrying bags up to the baggage hold. You never know where it will be done.

I have Blue Cross Blue Shield Federal Employees Plan. I kept it when I retired as it covers my wife who is not yet on Medicare. Bumrungrad is an in network hospital. There in in network doctors and hospitals in almost every country. I have a co-pay that is lower than out of network doctors and hospitals. I can also use out of network doctors, pay the costs and submit receipts to BCBS and they reimburse at 40%.

Bumrungrad International Hospital? If it is this hospital, why not? I have started to go there because it is one of the few that will accept my American health insurance. Is the reason due to cost of care?

My backpack at Amsterdam didn't test positive for any kind of drugs. It tested positive for nitrocellulose explosives! They asked me a couple of questions then let me continue to my gate. I stopped carrying that backpack on any aircraft and bought a new one, just for travel on aircraft.

Look at the (simulated) fuse on this (simulated) mortar round. https://i0.wp.com/www.mkds-training.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/12/82mm_Russian_HE_Mortar_OTA-R82.jpg?w=600&ssl=1

I am a retired federal agent. I have investigated violations of federal law, collecting factual evidence prior to submitting that evidence to the Department of Justice. What you might see in the movies is rarely factual, even when "based on a true story!" A court generally determines the level of guilt and the severity of punishment, not that the person was or was not a criminal. Courts in some cases have determined that a person charged with a crime, was in fact innocent, which not something that happened as a result of any of my investigations. Most people or business' I investigated were sentenced to paying a fine ranging from a few hundred dollars to upwards of $50,000.00. Some people were fined and sentenced to federal prison with incarceration ranging from 1 year to 7 years, this result was not that common. There were people who I was positive had violated federal law, but I was unable to gather enough factual evidence to send the case to court. I also decided, on my own volition, that a violation of crime was unintentional and closed the investigation, not seeking punishment for the individual as there was no harm done. I did this for roughly 22 years, beginning after my one year of on the job training in the field I was hired in.

Have I ever, to your knowledge, denied that?

Really? It is unlikely that today, there is anyone born in the United States that is not in some database, as having been born in the U.S. of A., which means that person is legally a U.S. of A. citizen and is legally in the U.S. of A. Conversely, if a person is not in a database as having immigrated legally into the United States, through an authorized port of entry, with the legal documents proving that the person did legally enter the United States, but the person is physically in the United States, then it is highly likely that person violated an immigration law, and entered the U.S. of A., illegally and thus, is a criminal for having violated a criminal law. As to "do YOU KNOW", I assume you are making a reference to a generic you, and not me personally. I am curious. Have you ever worked in the field of law enforcement, in which you investigated violations of law, and gathered the evidence that was used to convict someone in a criminal court of law?

Have you ever been at the Adis Ababa airport? I have. Never again unless it's absolutely necessary!

Trump is not "very anti-immigration". That is just one of the many democrat lies. Trump is, however against people entering the United States illegally, which is an entirely different matter from legal entry into the United States by actual immigrants that follows U.S. of A. immigration laws.

Or a clear case of out of control correctional officers. They will beat any prisoner, regardless of ethnicity.

Both as an active duty Federal Agent and as a retired Federal Agent, it is my understanding that, anyone that commits a violation of a criminal law, is a criminal, regardless of whether or not they have been charged with violation of that criminal law.

In 1988 they were for sale in Chatuchak market. I bought a Russian AK bayonet from one seller for $12.00 or $15.00. They are selling for over $100.00 now on ebay.
