First time I've ever repped CC.

lol--same here!

Not the first time for me, however, the negs far outweigh the pos-rep.

I am full of shit

Mine is from June 6th, 2017 in Africa on a D-Day Commemorative jump from a French C-160, led by a French Jumpmaster and using a French chute.  It would have been right before departing the aircraft.

Below is the picture from the DZ.  In the background that is a shipwreck and yeah, that is a camel in the bottom right.

AATW! Jumpers Hit It.

I have my username since HS days. Started using it with JJ, as I just went there to talk trash for my HS football team.

It stood for "odd shaven head." A buddy called me that all the time and he ended up shortening it to OSH. Since that's what it was, I knew there was only one avatar to use for it.

That’s interesting, especially since back on JJ, there was a guy who had OSH in his name and it stood for Old School Hoops. 

Back when the Pirates were relevant in the mid-2010s, Andrew McCutchen was a big part of that and Starling Marte was a star in the making. Currently, Cutch is with the Phillies and out for the year with an ACL injury and Marte has pretty much settled into "good but not great", but I'm a lazy, lazy man who hasn't bothered to change it. Maybe I will someday, but today is not that day. And tomorrow won't be, either.

Which takes us to Wednesday — the day EVERYTHING always gets done on this site.

I was active on JJ in 2001-2002 (or around that time, maybe in 2000?). The young me got banned for trash talking. Then it went to a pay site, so I stayed away.

It came back as free and I rejoined but that was WAY later. I never saw the other "OSH" on the site.

Wait, JJ is free again?

What do you know? I guess paying for a message board wasn't a good business strategy.  Who could've seen that coming?

It doesn't exist anymore.

No what OSH means is way back in the day in like late 2002 or early 2003 they did a bunch of stuff and updated the site and made it a pay site (One time charge of $10-20) but anyone who was already a member didn't have to pay and got grandfathered in. It did not last long IIRC and they went back to being free within 6 months I believe. And like Justin said JJhuddle has been gone for almost 3 years now. 

Ah.  That's been long enough ago that I don't remember it.  I was on there too, at the time.

And lol at JJHuddle being gone.  I just checked to see if the domain was available.  Unfortunately, it looks like MaxPreps nabbed it.

For the lulz:

I'm pretty sure there was a buyout of some sort.

Not sure that I’ve seen a post get 6 reps on here before, so I added a 7th. 

Congrats Spock.
