When Exxon Valdez happened we had people from my CG reserve unit who went up to but they vo...

Re: A bit of a gripe

I hit the FW store about 1130 and was in and out in about 5 minutes with what I wanted. Gotta love the prices being good at all the stores.

My bad, I should have spelled Mr Hagadones name correctly. I would argue that not checking your air is certainly complacency.

Re: Hey

Sadly the impressive partying, although also in Moscow, was before that little stint! I think that one has to go to a total lack of effort! Although it was a learning experience as evidenced tonight by my not just merely surfing this and the SB forum but also writing a poem analysis for my literatur...

Re: RIP Wes Skiles

I really wasn't sure about whether or not to weigh in on this as I have yet to do my OW. I do however, have more than a few hours of SCBA and have been on more responses than I can remember. First off, kudos to Bob. I am a firm believer in air management due to my inclination towards self-preservati...

Hey

I'm Tim, a displaced Texan and will be taking my OW soon. I did about 7 years of snorkling in the Red Sea and Persian Gulf. I did survival swims up here while I was in the Coast Guard so I know how cold the water is so I think I'll be doing a dry suit class soon after OW.
