Nothing wrong.

If you do not mind getting killed due to a poor exit.

Interesting. You didnt mention that when you listed all the units you served in, none of which were Airborne.

Some did fine. Some need to be reassigned to the Coast Guard.

What's it like jumping out like that versus falling forward for sky diving out the side of a plane. That shite looks easy comparatively.

Static line parachuting (the yellow line you see) has inherent dangers due to misrouting it under a limb or your pack tray, etc. That was some of the worst static line jumping I have ever seen.

ETA: US paratroopers conducting an A/NT ramp jump. Notice the yellow line in their hand.

As a "five jump chump", I believe that " The Theory Of Vertical Envolopment" has been proven to be disastrous on any battlefield.

Airborne is as big of a hoax as Covid.
