Riggers Pack T-11 Reserve Parachute

U.S. Army Soldiers pack the T-11 Non-Maneuverable Canopy, reserve parachute, during routine maintance at the 1st Battallion, 10th Group, rigger shed on Panzer Kaserne, Boeblingen, Germany.
The Non-Maneuverable Canopy (T-11) Personnel Parachute System is the newest personnel parachute system to be adopted by the United States armed forces and the Canadian Army.[1] The T-11 replaces the T-10, introduced in 1955. The T-11 includes a completely redesigned main and reserve parachute and an integrated harness assembly that is suitable for a wider range of soldier weights than the previous system. -en.wikipedia.or...

and to think i get annoyed trying to my tent back in the bag.lol

[@phaedrabacker2004]

Thanks for the good work. Airborne!

[@patrickpetrowsky8136]

The old T-10 reserves were a pain in the butt, in my opinion. And these don't look much easier.

[@sonnypruitt6639]

+Patrick Petrowsky Try packing a AFB, that's what Slim Pickins (Maj. Kong) had on his back, riding the 'bomb" in the movie Dr. Strangelove.

[@YourLocalRiceDealer]

This is what quarantine got me into watching

[@MichaelTV44]

Those weights are red probably so you won’t accidentally fold them into the parachute because that would be a bad day.

[@geektarded]

This has to be rigger school at Ft. Lee. We NEVER ever went that slow.

[@museme6309]

Kinda nice for that cause this is what I’m about to do I’m more hands on.

[@theheartlandgroup757]

I guess you didn’t read the description….

[@geektarded]

@@theheartlandgroup757 apologies if I wasn’t clear. I spent 4 years in the Army as a rigger and never saw anyone go that slow except at rigger school when we were first learning. My point was that they are packing as slow as first time students.

[@theheartlandgroup757]

@@geektarded fair enough

[@AteuCu]

Pretty interesting!

[@randyerickson2154]

Nice folding on the lines.

[@50buttfish]

COMBED REAL FINE!

[@donkendall1227]

The ropes courses I took for firefighting, you never ever stepped on the lines as the one guy in the red cap did.

[@T10LawnDart]

Good memories watching this video

[@OakenShield.Gaming]

If one of these guys fuck up , it’s a paratroopers worst nightmare confirmed

[@museme6309]

No pressure 😪

[@bobo2661]

I see the Riggers working on both tables, does each rigger have one certain job to do or is one rigger responsible for each pack?

[@geektarded]

Each rigger is responsible for their pack.

[@adzhaabdhamid5919]

Respect this jobs

[@MetalBback]

a spec 4 would,with experience alone, would make this Major look like pea squat in about... ohh 5 minutes when the shoot is packed.

[@timprescott4634]

What Major?...🙄

[@theheartlandgroup757]

There’s no Major in this video….

[@austinblanchard5409]

in there a job strictly to packing parachutes, if there are can you let me know?

[@mrcalspoon]

+Austin Blanchard Yea they do this and air delivery. I am in class learning the MOS

[@lonesome192]

+Matthew Calhoun I was in the 623rd QM Co, Airborne, depot level, and we packed and repaired platforms used for heavy drops.

[@AIRBORNEOEFTF73]

US ARMY MOS 92 R

[@austinblanchard5409]

sweet, thanks

[@davidsakal449]

Reserve pilot chute buried in the folds NOT attached to anything!

[@axatax57]

What sucks here is that when I was in the 82nd, they would take us to see how the chutes were packed. Wow, these guys hold life in their hands, what I was questioning is, what happens if the packer is pissed off at something and he doesn't give a **** one day and he packs incorrectly on purpose? They do have inspectors that check them, but NOT the inside. Scary stuff. At least from what I saw. Go 82nd.

[@roberthixon5638]

The riggers used to have to jump the chute's they packed randomly to help ensure nothing like that would happen.

[@timprescott4634]

It HAS happened…

just stand on the lines why don't you

[@unguidedone]

how much does one of these parachutes cost and where can i buy one

[@АлексейОрлов-м5м]

Have that reserve any AAD?

[@BrazilianShark]

Алексей Панюшкин No, that’s a round dude.

[@sergeig685]

@@BrazilianShark The type of canopy makes no difference. Rounds can be equipped with AADs just the same.

[@knarftrakiul3881]

Omg... talk about a boring MOS.. wow

[@timprescott4634]

Can be BUT at least you get to jump out of planes on the regular and go to HALO school in some instances (these guys are 1st SFC(A)Riggers).

[@museme6309]

I gotta go for this mos dude

[@timprescott4634]

RIGGER! How often do you have to re-pack reserve chutes? I don’t mean the exceedingly rare deployed reserve re-pack, but is there a “proficiency” test once a week, month, quarter?

[@timprescott4634]

@Not the A.T.F. How often are y’all tested for proficiency? Is the “toss you a random chute and reserve and go jump it” still a thing?

[@mlehky]

In the civilian world it’s only good for 180 days before it must be repacked.
