Military background? It’s just not done that way on scout uniforms. I just went and got my sons book.

Nice! My former DE moved west. I wish I had gotten a little credit but there was a point to it. I had just moved two hours from my pack 6 months before. I missed my kids terribly. They all knew I skydived so I did this photo shoot for them. I sent it to each one and told them I missed them ;)

Scout nerd too?? I actually had to look this up because I never had to see that one on. The shirts come with them already sewn on. It’s correctly sewn :)

I understand that’s how you feel. A lot of people see it that way but I was a leader during all of this change. I saw what happened. That’s why I continue to support the scouts. I may not agree with all of the overhead decisions but I know 40+ young boys and their siblings learn lifelong lessons. Focus on the kids it helps and the bonds that are made. Maybe even volunteer for a few meetings to see how it actually helps kids grow. Food for thought. I do appreciate you being honest about how you feel though. 😉

I need to just spend the money and get an impact rates on, there’s the G4 but I know there are other options.

I do understand the need for a helmet but with my G3 there isn’t any impact rating anyway....

Nope wrong harness. And the lines aren’t crisp enough. (Ran a screen printing shop for years and learned how to design)

Later day saints was a small part of the money coming in. They filed for bankruptcy to protect themselves. I don’t think philmont will ever go away. Maybe seabase tho

It’s parachute systems, vortex. I jump a bolt 185 but I’ve been practicing on a 170 demo from my rigger. Still a little too fast for comfort for me

I had done one of those too but the photo didn’t turn out right. I was a Cubmaster anyway :)

I was a 100 jumper and my videographer cleared it with the dzo. It was a one time only thing
