Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: OWENS Message: JOE--- I totally agree with "ALL" you said..... Where was the Rappell Master looking, who should have had Radio contact with the Pilots, where was the Ground Safety Officer who also should have had a Radio,..... Sounds to me like this was an accident from the begining looking for a place to happen. We can not go back and change whats happened, but we can raise enough hell, that some one will listen and not forget this mistake ever again.......There were just to many over looked safety check valves here..........JIM |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: Joe Mattison Message: This is for Bob Williams...I want to say...that this website is truly the "envy" of others who also belong to other Ranger Organizations. I recently attended the USARA, and this Website was mentioned...and this message board was the major "topic"...There are a great many readers, who like Steve...read this site daily, but don't usually comment. They do read, and they stay informed. I just received my After Action Review concerning the USARA ARM Convention....they have an interactive capability for all Members, no matter where they live, pertaining to USARA Business, and they encourage it. They also have about 1000 members Nation wide. I don't think that having to "click" onto 850 names of our Roster is the most efficient way to go. When we as an organization "accept" contributions, Nation wide then I think that we also need to remember that we also need to have a nation wide mechanism to "vote". Again Bob...personal opinions aside....great job on this website that only gets better and better. You are truly the "master" when it comes to design, format, and interactability....for all of us "Members". Take care...Joe |

Posted: 12/31/1969 Name: ~C Message: Sounds fabulous, Mark - thanks so much for sharing that with us! I had considered Belize at one point, probably 10 years ago, but then the crime rate started to increase and I backed off the idea. Sisal sounds quite lovely - if it's anything like Cancun without the tourists, I'm sure it is beautiful. Speaking of the Mayans - I visited Chichen Itza during my stay in Cancun - what a wonderous place. I wasn't too thrilled about their gruesome ceremonies, but the ballfield was (is) a work of art...and sound - amazing! The temple, too, is something to behold (and the sounds coming off of it - again amazing!), but I could not force myself to climb the treacherous steps - or really, the way down was the most frightening for me. I think the year I was there was the last year that anyone would be allowed to climb the temple. As I stood there looking at that temple and watching people climb it - one girl in a miniskirt and heels (my God, what was she thinking??)(and the men thinking - thank God for miniskirts! LOL), I realized just how different a foreign country can be. Nothing like that would have been allowed here in the US, where our government knows what is best for us. It sounds like you are adapting quite well to a change in lifestyle - and enjoying it too - good for you! Let me know when you get that cabana built - I'd be more than happy to rent it from you for a week or two! :-) Peace and happiness, ~Cookie |
