Thanks P03

I and my SF buddy had the pleasure of attending the USMC Double Bag Static Line transition course with their MMPS, while in NM. We got to tag along with a bunch of Marine Reserve Recon folks.

The course was 2 weeks long and we made 12 jumps to complete the transition. The final jump was a night, combat equipment, O2, with a 12 kilometer stand off for the altitude. We had to make it into a 100 meter circle. It was not difficult.

If the Marines can do it SF can.
