 I'm Staff Sergeant Porquez with the 25th Infantry Division Lightning Academy, and today I'll be demonstrating the Rappelmaster Personnel Inspection for a Hollywood Rappeller. Note, these videos are for demonstration purposes only, for a full list of possible deficiencies you can visit the Lightning Academy website. Now as the Rappeller steps forward he's going to sound off with his brake hand. Right hand, brake hand. The Rappeller is right handed, so that means I'll take my right hand and immediately go to his square knot. I'm going to take my other hand and slap the Rappeller's brake hand. Starting at the brake hand, I'm going to check to make sure that the glove is present and that it's serviceable. I'm also looking to make sure that the sleeve is worn properly. Moving to my right across the Rappeller's body to the head, I'm checking to make sure that the ACH is present and that it is fastened correctly. Continuing to my right to the non-brake hand side, I'm checking again that the glove is present and serviceable and that the sleeves are worn properly. From the non-brake hand side, I'm sweeping down the body to the square knot. Now I'm going to check that the square knot is tied properly, which is indicated to me by two interlocking bites. I'm also looking to make sure that the two overhand safety knights are tied correctly and only around the waist rope with the excess tucked in the Rappeller's pocket. Moving across the front of the Rappeller's body, I'm looking to see that the shirt is fully tucked in on the front and sides of the body. I'm also looking to make sure that the carabiner is present and oriented correctly. I'm going to pull the carabiner over to the left and count my overhand lays to make sure the overhand lay is tied properly. I'll know that by counting one, two, three, four, five high points on the overhand lay. I'm also looking to see that it's in the correct position above the Rappeller's belt. Bring my carabiner back over to my right, the Rappeller's non-brake hand side, to the square knot. I'm looking to make sure that the carabiner does not touch the square knot. I'm also visually inspecting that the carabiner is around all ropes, that is the overhand lay and the waist rope. At this time, I'm going to give the Rappeller the command to squat. Now I'm looking under the Rappeller's legs at the leg ropes. I'm looking to make sure that they run parallel to one another and they're not crossed. Next I'm going to give the Rappeller the command to turn around. I'm going to say stand, turn, bend, place your brake hand on the back of your ACH. I'm going straight to the back of the Rappeller's waist. I'm looking to ensure that the shirt is fully tucked in around the back and sides of the body. I'm going to place my fist in the center of the waist rope. That's going to let me know that the leg ropes are the proper distance apart. Now I'm going to take my two knife hands and check the seat for proper fitment. Moving up the leg ropes to the half hitches, I'm looking to make sure that they are tied correctly, which is indicated to me by two horizontal locking bars. Last thing I'm going to do is follow the waist rope around the Rappeller's body to make sure that it is routed properly on the outside of his clothing. Now that the waist is complete, I'm going to sweep down the Rappeller's right side. That's their brake hand side. And inspect all the pockets for any equipment. Final thing I'm going to do is give the Rappeller the phase three seal of approval. That's a slap on the leg. And that lets them know that the Rappell Master of Personal Inspection is complete.
