$18000.00 of credit card debt and you think paying someone else $209.00 a month would be ok and make that bill go away?
What is the intrest rate on that credit card that $209 would be the minimum monthly payment on $18,000?
You paid $209 a month, not even the minimum on an $18,000 card for 15 months and blaim everyone else?
Have you cut up the card and learned to not use cards?

I am very sorry your son is injured. That said, ENOUGH ALREADY!!! We have a civil court system - USE IT IF YOU BELIEVE YOU HAVE A CASE.
You would have to agree with me that if a soldier is killed at a facility like Skydive Temple that clearly demonstrates a propensity for safety violations and the like,
Not at all! The facts leading up to the death are what matters.
a Soldiers family is running the real risk of being deprived of insurance benefits and a life is lost needlessly.
And THIS I believe is the crux of the matter. I remember when I was hospitalized for 3 days due to 2nd degree sunburn when I was stationed at Biloxi AFB (1973)-the AF determined that my injuries were self inflicted. I went fishing in the bay all day wearing nothing but a small pair of shorts.
The AF picked up the tab for my hospitalization and medical treatment BUT the three days were considered "bad time" and my enlistment was involuntarily extended 3 days because of this incident. Also, annotations were placed in my medical records to indicate that any subsequent problems caused by this severe sunburn would NOT be considered military service related injury or disability.
I suspect that the Army is treating this skydiving accident as "self inflicted" in a similar manner.
It's unfortunate, but it is what it is.

The fact that Wendy Faulkner has a DWI conviction and the fact that other members of Skydive Temple engage in meth usage are subject to their own conscious. When my son put his faith in the integrity of this place, it became my business.
The public places trust in this place and simply put, they should not.
Incidentally, another skydive jumper got caught up in the power lines last weekend. That's (8) accidents of a serious nature in (1) year.
Call me crazy, but I feel like this place needs to be shut down!
