Not having a lot a lot of experience with that, just 5 jumps from 1500 feet and above. I would say the parachute would have to deploy immediately after you jump. Someone posted a video showing a guy jumping from the top of a smoke stack and it looked like someone may have held the drag chute (pulls the parachute out of the pack) pulling the parachute out as he jumped. Might have only fallen no more than 25 feet before it deployed.

You're funny! Back then, 1978 & 1979 when the jumps were made, I was 6' 3" and about 155-160 pounds. Since then I have shrunk, expanded, and now I am 6' 2" and 174 pounds. I was more hansum then too. My wife lies and tells me I am still hansum. 5 parachutes for 5 jumps to become jump qualified. Jumped with two parachutes at a time. The main chute and the reserve. Jumps 1-3 were from a Huey helicopter, jumping from 1500 feet above ground. You had to work fast to get your reserve out if the main failed to open. Somewhere in the vicinity of Houston, TX. 4th jump was from a C-130 Hercules. I don't know the altitude. I forget where the drop zone was. 5th jump was from C-141 Starlifter. I don't know what altitude the was. Drop zone was at Ft. Chafee, AR. All jumps were with static line.

Where would you buy vinegar for use after jelly fish stings?

I'm wondering who packed his parachute. Fortunately for me, when I was in an Army Airborne Company, professionals packed the 5 that I used.

I am surprised that no one has claimed this is the fault of global cooling .. uh ... global warming ... mmm ... climate change! Yeah, that's it, climate change did this.

Can ... can ... you tell me in English what you wrote? Neither google or bing translate can figure it out!

Would you please, pretty please, stop posting about my wife?!?!? I'm not worried about the 50% withdrawal stuff. Wife has more money than I do. But those other things. Yeah, stop posting would ya?

Thai food take out business. It is situated inside a large building that is a historical landmark owned by the state in which it resides. On a low sales day, over 10,000 people may go through the building that houses more than 100 other business'. Of course, not all 10,000 people are not buying her product.

There is a Soi, in Pattya, named Batman???? Does that mean there is also a Soi named Robin?

Well, we don't reside in England, Scotland (do they speak English there, I forget), Australia, New Zealand, or Belize, we live in America. So she reads American English. I however, am adapt at reading English written in other countries and understanding it. Except, English assembly instructions, printed in China, for furniture made there, and shipped here.

Could it be due to low self esteem of some asean now posters and a need to denigrate someone else to make themselves feel better? That or just plain arrogance that I am better than you low lifes! Thought I would add, that some asean now posters imply they are better than other asean now posters too, not just better than Thai people!

I don't know. But I can and I can flick them across the room too!!!

I was surprised to find that McDonald's burgers in Thailand taste much better than the ones here in the U.S. of A.. I wanted some western food and due to painful knees I did not want to go downtown Bangkok to walk around and find some. So hobbled across the street from the condo to the McDonald's in the mall there. After I returned to the U.S. of A., bought a McDonald's burger here and the taste did not compare to the ones I ate in Thailand. Those small McDonald pies in Thailand are better too! Also, some of the western food restaurants run by westerners have poor tasting food too!

My Thai wife owns and manages a business in the U.S. of A. that has a gross yearly income of more than $1,250,000.00 year! So if she wants to manage my finances (she doesn't) she would probably do a better job than I am! She can read American English too.

Mine can. Not only can she read Thai language, she can read the American English language! So there!

Too bad those maga people were not "mostly peacful" protestors.

Could be. From what I have been reading, eveyone is buying, including the anti-gun democrats (U.S. of A.)

Out of curiosity, was the school in Great Britian? I read about that on the internet a few years ago. My last year in school in the U.S. of A. was in 1969. The only fabricated stories then were about other students. That also occured in college in 1974-1975. I am clueless about what may be happening today in schools regarding fabricated stories about teachers.

The problem with legal drugs, sometimes, is the reaction to them is not good. In my case, psychotropic drugs for depression caused hallucinations. When I told the doctors, their response, those don't cause hallucinations!

Yeah, but, what if the attached 7/11 runs out of microwave spagetti? Then what?

Never heard of the 7th RRFS Co B. or of ditty boppers, or Hogs, or Duffy's or Skates, or Buddy Effers (05G's), or Tape Apes. I was never there for 7 months and I was never with the 8th RRFS, Co B, or the 330thr RR Co out of Nha Trang, VN, or trained at Ft. Devens! Why you asking? You with the KGB? I was never there!

Lots of incidence of loss o f hearing for people who did what I did, decades ago. Sat with earphones on listening to Morse code for hours a day going on for months, and other unexpected static crashes. Got tinnitus form that too. Then there were the loud noises of weapons being fired.

Edited to add this question. Was a music festival, an Israeli military site? They claim it was accidental ... ... we in the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas clarify the following: 1. Operation Al-Aqsa Flood on Oct. 7 targeted the Israeli military sites, and sought to arrest the enemy’s soldiers to pressure on the Israeli authorities to release the thousands of Palestinians held in Israeli jails through a prisoners exchange deal. Therefore, the operation focused on destroying the Israeli army’s Gaza Division, the Israeli military sites stationed near the Israeli settlements around Gaza. 2. Avoiding harm to civilians, especially children, women and elderly people is a religious and moral commitment by all the Al-Qassam Brigades’ fighters. We reiterate that the Palestinian resistance was fully disciplined and committed to the Islamic values during the operation and that the Palestinian fighters only targeted the occupation soldiers and those who carried weapons against our people. In the meantime, the Palestinian fighters were keen to avoid harming civilians despite the fact that the resistance does not possess precise weapons. In addition, if there was any case of targeting civilians; it happened accidently and in the course of the confrontation with the occupation forces. https://www.timesofisrael.com/in-coded-doc-hamas-instructed-terrorists-to-kill-civilians-take-captives-report/ In coded doc, Hamas instructed terrorists to kill civilians, take captives – report Document found in vehicle used by Gaza-ruling terror group in devastating attack said to include code words for massacring people or using those taken captive as human shields

I knew some refugees in California doing that. Collected all the welfare available to them, then used fake names and social security numbers so they could work on fishing boats making thousands of dollars a month!
