one of the kids at my cadet corps went to write his entrance exam, and failed math. he asked the
Sgt there if he wrote and failed again, would he be able to take the test again. the Sgt said yes. he ended up taking the test again and failing, now one of the Capt, are saying to take the test again, he has to attend university and come back in two years. I personally have never heard of this, can anyone help me out? and to boot this kid is one **** of a cadet, and i bet by far better than some of the militia members around where i live.

cheers
 
Well if someone keeps failing the aptitude test over and over, then he has some work to do.
 
yes he has some work to do, but he would definatly be a good infantry man.
 
so your implying that all infantry are dumb? :threat: (lol)
 
Ohh, burn!

If he was better then the militia guys around where you live than he wouldn‘t have failed the math portion of the test now would he?
 
Hey hopefully... but I‘m still a leg!
You are kidding right?
Just thought I should know before I stalk you.
 
no, no, i am not implying anything like that. infantry is what i would join, (still might). i am just saying he is an excellent learner, and he has motivation, and his dress drill and deportment, are bang on. but he is not a math wiz.... i would never imply anything like that.
and yes i am still a leg. a leg that skydives, and can pass the para fitness test no problem, just waiting to get loaded.
 
O.K. I feel better now. As a note, if I did not excel at math I would have been dead many times over in many different situations. Maps,sniping,freefall,recce,pathfinding,forward fire control etc...
I think math is rather important.The days of "charge the hill stupid" are gone.
Anyway,not to be too serious, just wanted to make the point for those that perhaps thought 031 was for dummies. :cdn:
 
Hey hopefully, how many jumps do you have? And whats the highest altitude you‘ve jumped from?

I don‘t have that many jumps myself, I broke my leg on the second jump of the year, the spring before last (my 35th jump), which hampered my attempt to have 200 by November this year. I didn‘t go once this year out of fear of another injury to postpone my recruitment process...again.

Anyway, I got out at 17,000 ft on the sunset load, on the last jump I did in Florida (33rd). Needless to say, it was amazing, I just practiced tracking back and forth across the line of flight for what felt like forever (until it was over).

I got to watch one of the US military skydive teams the whole week I was there (101st Screaming Eagles). They were pretty cool to see in freefall (a couple of spots ahead of me on the twin-otter loads they went on).
The CO had a near fatal accident on a low altitude pass out of a Cessna on one of the days. His lines got hung up in the plane and he got wrapped up hanging out of the plane. He had some really nasty friction burns all over from the lines.
He was pretty funny about it afterward though, and kept jumping.

Anyway, I got pretty serious about joining up (here in Canada) after meeting those guys and chatting with them after the blue light went on ;) .
I‘m interested in trying to join up with a "para coy" like most 031 types I see in here. I‘m looking at it one stage at a time though. First I need a job offer, then I need to pass basic, then battle school, etc...

Hopefully it will work out, for you, AND for me.
Anyway good luck with your goals.
 
i am still a baby when it comes to skydiving. i have 6 jumps 3 from 4500 feet, and three from 10500. best times of my life. better than sex. :) what about you?
 
My best jumps are better than average sex, but really good sex trumps everything.

OK, check this story out (true story), Its about sex better than skydiving.

DONT READ ANY FURTHER IF YOU DONT WANT TO HEAR ABOUT IT. DONT FLAME ME AFTER FOR WRITING IT. YOU DONT HAVE TO READ IT. ITS OFF TOPIC.

I was tree planting for this research company about 4 summers back in B.C. My crew wasn‘t your average crew of hippie types, they were all surfers. Anyway, we attracted lots of attention from the local girls in most of the towns we went through, being as they (the towns) were so small, and they (the girls) weren‘t used to seeing surfer types around.

So we go to Smithers B.C. and start a 5 day stretch of work. On the 3rd day these two girls, pull into our motel parking lot and do a few laps while I‘m standing in the door watching. They were smiling and laughing, and I wasn‘t sure if it was a good thing or not. In the end they drove off. I was disappointed.

Later on we were out for Chinese food, and someone spots their truck, driving really slowly by our trucks parked outside. I start getting some friendly ridicule from the girls on our crew, and a couple of the guys. At the end of the night we go back to the motel and go to bed. No more sign of the girls.

3:30am and the girls are outside yelling at some people in the room next to us, I went out to see what was going on, but the girls were getting back in their truck and then they sped off. leaving me standing there mostly naked with a bunch of super drunk guys (from the other room), who were all pumped for a fight. I manged to get back inside without any serious incident.

(this is where it gets better) OK, so the next day (day 4), we finish work and get back at about 6:00pm, and the boss tells us we only have about 4 hours worth of work the following day, and that we are going to leave directly from the site, to head back down south, so to make sure we pack all our stuff.
Naturally, since we were going to spend most of the next day sleeping in the trucks, we were going to party that night. So I got in the shower, minutes later someone tells me that the girls are back outside in the parking lot. I hop out of the shower and throw on some pants, and as I step out of the bathroom I see that everyone is just standing there, not doing anything. So I walk over to the front door, and as soon as I reach the door the girls stop the truck, and one of them hops out (the really cute one). She walked straight over to me and asked if we wanted to hang out.

Myself and another guy took beer orders, and went with the girls to the beer store. They all drank (I don‘t drink), and we played cards. Before anyone knew it it was after midnight, and our boss came in and freaked out. He called the chicks sluts and stuff. "you little sluts get the **** out of here!". I was pissed off, especially since the cuter of the two was clearly interested in me. So we appologised for him, and felt dumb and just wanted to call it quits. The girls though, wanted me and my buddy to go with them. My buddy was shook up from being yelled at and was too nervous to go (plus he was really only interested in the one who was after me). So I hopped in and went with them.

We picked up another guy en route to a lake (one of their friends), and just talked, and listened to old school Ozzy Ozbourne all the way there. Once we got there though, we paired off, they stayed in the truck, and we (cute girl and me) went for a walk over to this bench. We talked for a long while, but ended up making out after a while. It started to get pretty heavy, I‘m sure you know what I mean, and I felt obligated to take the next step. Second base was very impressive, let me tell you, probably the most impressive second base I‘ve ever had the pleasure of playing with.
So we are getting pretty frantic with each other, you know, the rush of nervous energy that feels so good when you‘re hooking up with someone for the first time? (especially if they are hot), and I make my move for 3rd base ;) . You know, you gotta slide in hands first before you make full contact.
Anyway, I slide my hand downstairs, and WTF she‘s shaved, totally shav..... no wait WAXED! 100% waxed. Not a single prickly hair, I was absolutely blown away. My endorphines kicked in, I had such a rush of excitement that I felt dizzy and faint with pleasure. I was probably hornier in that moment that I ever have been in my life before or since. All sorts of stuff was in my head, but the thought didn‘t escape me that she had probably just done it earlier in the day, knowing that she was coming after me, which made me even more excited.

Anyway, thats where the story ends for you (I‘ll spare you further details). The whole wax thing may seem like "so what?" to you, but to me, that night, It was one of the greatest sexual experiences ever.
I wouldn‘t trade it for 100 skydives, even if someone bought me the gear to jump with and packed it for me after every jump.
 
okay, that sounds good to me. that was agood story. but i still say sky diving is right up there with sex...... so r u or were you in the millitary?
 
........ and the next morning, after my night of fun her school bag fell open and i saw some text books so i asked, what are you taking in school? and she said, math and spelling.
 
. . . and so . . . like . . . when I was at band camp, I took my flute and I. . . .

Long live junior jumpers! :salute:
