I cant recall what the DACO actually called it. They floated left and right and a couple even went back up. Noone actually timed it, but they must have been in the air 5 minutes before landing. There was a couple near collosions but everyone avoided them.
So much for that 30-45 seconds of air time.

That never happens to bigger guys!!! I was always around 195lbs in PT uniform, so I "burned in" more than a few times with combat equipment, but that was also with the T-10B/MC1-1B. I'd see guys who weighed next to nothing catch thermals, but they never did anything for me. I had a guy about 10m from me one day (canopy skirt to canopy skirt), we were eye level with each other (~600ft AGL) and he caught the thermal and stayed almost suspended and I just went straight down, so I'll say it's a function of light bodyweight. He weighed maybe 145lbs or so.
Anyone else notice similar a phenomemen?

Here's some pics from the late 80's. Some are from the 82D, the rest were from jumps in SOCOM.

I weigh 143 and my buddy is about 195. We just came back from BAC, but he was always three or four jumpers behind me. Anyway I'd stay in the air for at least 1 min to 3 min, while he hit the ground in 30 sec. It was pretty funny stuff.
We were jumping a C-130 on our 3rd jump and the JM pulled down on the Hook-up-Line and then duct taped it to the plane. I almost pulled my reserve as soon as I jumped out of the door, but do you think it was sort of a joke to scare the "newbies"?

Hook-up-Line 
LOL I know you didn't get that from Paratrooper.net.....
Now let's try again, what is that cable called you attach your static line to? I'll give you a hint, it starts with an "A".
Everyone else be quiet......

Oelando, hmmm. Going to UCF, he can't be far from me. Maybe someone should witness those pushups.

 Anchor Line Cable.
which reminds me of what one of my Sergeant Airborne's said:
"This isn't an Airborne school, it's pay attention to detail school!"

BAC?
When did everyone start calling it BAC instead of Jump School? I guess I have been out a while! 
TS, don't you think those should be 4 count push-ups?
