The drill is different. I made my 1st jump 10 years back. During
my time to current, it has always been
500 feet,
prepare for action.
stand up, hook up, check static line, check equipment, sound off
for equipment check. move forward (right left right left). 5
seconds stand in the door. green on go.
1000,2000,3000
check, toggle, front, over right, over left, under left, under
right, in between. good para position.
If one knows the drill perfectly well, can react instantly for the
total malfunction. There is a reason they made us hit it and sit
feet knee lock tight all the time.
