RA-1 Military Freefall System Config Packing

Packing Procedures for RA-1 Military Freefall System Configuration

[@philm9593]

I remember packing my first Strato-Cloud. I don't recall the procedure being this in-depth. Then again this a military vid, so I guess this sets a base line standard for all to follow. Good vid, brought back happy memories from another time.

A case of beer for a rigger pack. Works every time. The riggers in SWC and 3rd Group were always good to us. Thanks guys.

My god. I can remember how tough it was getting all of the air out of the sleeping bags when trying to get them into your ruck. This would be maddening! Never knew any Riggers but when I saw one of their badges.. immediate respect.

Damn, I could not do something like that, but the upmost respect for individuals that stay focused through to protect those using the parachutes. One step done at the wrong time or losing your place, could result as the best case, a cutaway and reserve chute deployment; At the worst, a dead brother/sister. Great video!

This is what I call ART! A skilled craftsmen at work. Not a painting or statue . Just my $0.02

To all those who have negative comments about this video, this a video for training of new freefall jumpers. I was a member of the team that tested the canopies that were up for the choice by the military for a new freefall canopy. You can have all your "Civilian" jumps but can you jump like they do.

This brought back memories...graduate Sep 90 from the course.

[@YR7A]

my left ear really loved this video

I made three jumps back in 62 and packed my own Parachute I don't remember going through that much detail. I was what was called a T-28. watching this Video is amazing.

It's like a nice dinner - three hours of care and love to prepare and ten minutes to scoff!

[@elitethotunit5038]

Thanks! Helped me pack a surplus chute I found...

[@peterburton3147]

Interesting to see how the army packs, I used to pack one in about 15mins on average..

[@FireRescue884]

Never piss off the cook and the guy who packs your Parachute 🪂

[@Benny6346]

Great instruction. what's that background noise? Was that intentional?

[@ambushb0y]

Army logic: 1: Grab all your lines tight together. 2: next separate them all over the place

[@crazypilot4017]

Cool video...not sure if I could have done this for a living...

[@perillum610]

You need to look at PRO-PACK ...... this i old school packing ... with more then 4000+ packing the PRO-PACK works ;-)

[@50buttfish]

Ahhh, those spaghetti puzzles after a jump.

[@chipamos]

Army runs about 300 to 400 given they jump with an additional #140.
