I started Jumpmaster training this week and really got in over my head. For more details see the Wiki description
This week was a written exam on nomenclature (terminology), I aced it but missed my JMPI test time limit by 50 seconds. See this video for what JMPI is.
I must inspect three jumpers rigged up in less than 5 min and identify all major deficiencies in a pre-determined order. It is an extremely anal inspection standard, that I agree with since we are the last inspection given to each jumper prior to the actual jump.
I also researched my jumps to determin I now have 28 recorded jumps. If I pass this course (and get at least two more jumps during the course I will be rated as a senior parachutist.
This has been one of my career goals, so I am very focused. Wish me luck, I re-test Monday on JMPI.
Airborne!

A small picture of the parachute I used on the 17th of Sept. I had a chance to jump from a C-17 Globemaster aircraft at 1200 feet.
WOW, I had fun and it has been several years since I had jumped. It brought back many memories.
I landed safe and look forward to jumping more! To date I have 19 jumps and hope to have 35 by next year!
After the dust settled in our new home we had to make a few purchases. As a result we ended up getting a new desktop and slim PS2. We also bought a new multitap for the slimline and then we able to use the multiplayer feature in some pretty good games we already had.
R&C Deadlocked
Godzilla unleashed
Time splitters 2
Pro Race driver
Shrek
It was that or buy new PS3 controllers (since two would cost $108, the slimline was only $129 + $5 for a multitap on clearance).
Soooo for this blog tell me your favorite game to play with other people (IN YOUR HOUSE). Some games have a good multiplayer (online) and some are good for split screen / LAN party. What do you use? (Be sure to only post games for four players)
I will tell you hands down the Wii wins for appeal factor to all ages, but the PS games seem more geared to guys preferences.
Other than that I am just playing COD4 online and have just entered the third round of prestige mode (beat all 55 levels twice already). I know I play it too much. But I MUST GET THAT IRON CROSS!! That ties into my next topic PSN trophies. It just started and folks are already collecting them like GS emblems. My friend Canana32 has a cabinet full and is level 3. I researched to find out how to get them and found this trophy guide.
Then I promptly ordered Stardust thru the PSN network (downloaded) and Drakes from eBay ($33). Since these title support trophies. Well they are not easy so maybe some other day I can earn them.
Wow that was quite long. Later
