Might not be Marines. I was part of RN Boarding teams during my RN service. We did exactly that, fast-roping from Lynx, and not a bootie in sight. Hard to tell though, but whomever they are at least they are doing it correctly .i.e. legs apart and not on the rope as the yanks are so fond of... boot polish on a fast rope=much faster descent and rather painful stop
Yer mate. I love the Para"s and my 32,000 foot sky dive!

No it speeds them up, that's the problem

@matthew220891 It slows them down, which is why they do it - so they don't break their legs!
