I LOVE THE T-10s ! Day or night they were GREAT ! I hated the -1 Bravos . Oh they sucked ! Always feet,ass,and head ! T-10s I always pull my risers down and hard and damned you could almost get away with a "standing landing"but I dont want the 1SG or the CO putting their jump boots up my ass .

@111khristopher Congrats. I'm a former 19k myself. I wanna do a tandem skydive next year after I get my spine fused. I've always enjoyed watching new equipment developed and implemented, so I can't wait to see the next version of the Abrams tank. I hope this T11 works out better for the folks that have to use it and pack em, such as yourself.

Now Army investigators say Staff Sgt. Jamal Clay fell to his death last month because his T-11 parachute malfunctioned. Clay died during a training exercise at Fort Bragg in North Carolina.
An internal Army memo says investigators found "potential packing, inspection, quality control and functionality problems" with the T-11 parachute system.

How long is the training school to become a parachute rigger?

Well they didnt mention that it takes 6-8 seconds for your slip to respond.If you dont what that is then imagine ur car reacting to your steering wheel 5 seconds after the fact and 2 seconds before the turn. Weather varies from day to day so your not gonna have a soft landing all the time. I've landed softer in T-10s than i have T-11s. Its harder to pack takes longer to deploy and it wieghs an extra 10 lbs.not worth the extra weight. i work this equipment all day. It sucks.
