Subject: Re: Unflexible thinking or whatever the hell
Well they ( the two dumb kids) did better here than any of the American
strokes on Stone's team, so we gave them credit, even though if my guys
could not do their ( the two Brits') biggest dive as a setup dive in one
shot the first shot, I would kick them off the team. 90 days to do what
I consider a setup dive is unacceptable, no matter how imprssive it is
to Europeans. Hell, a sqare meal is impressive to most of those people.

This is like talking about high school football relative to pro
football.

So yeah, they might be the best in Euroope or the best who will deal
with a jerk like Stone, but they are not exactly what I have on my team.
I mean really , give me a freaking braek - I am a 48 year old bond
broker who dives once in a while and in three dives in 1998 went 18,000
feet in there . These bozos took 90 days to get less than half way out
just following my line, and missed most of the cave, decoed their buns
of in a chamber, were  sick all of the time, and were basicly what I
would call a pussy pysically , but tough guys in that they were useing
Stone's gear - more than I would ever risk, and their techniqes were so
pitiful it took them forever to do anything..

 I spent most of my time that year training and all of my time in 1999
training except for a couple of dives , one being the record traverse
dive, and then went in there on in one dive in one day and replaced all
the safeties, went furhter than they did , added line whre they blew it,
and was at dinner at Lucy Ho's that night on time.

  You can not compaer stroke bullshit to WKPP techniques. No way.
