Male 1: It's a beautiful day for a jump, absolutely beautiful, clear blue skies, initial winds were six knots on the drop zone, which were perfect. In fact I came almost straight down.

Male 1: I think I believe 288 went out the door. It was a flawless jump. I'm fortunate I get the door position, the jumpmaster gives me go and I'm out the door. What's nice about it is, it's a larger canopy and I believe it's a different fabric. That gives is us a slower rate of descent, which is nice cause you come down, I weigh about 200 pounds I tend to fall like a bag of hammers. Slower rate of descent means fewer injuries on the drop zone and more troopers to be able to pick up and continue the mission.

Male 4: I could actually tell I was dropping a lot slower. I'm a heavy drop. Usually I hit the ground pretty hard. I can look around at other jumpers and I'm just passing them going down and this time it wasn't like that, I was staying pretty equal them.

Male 1: We have to continue to adapt the systems that our soldiers use, so that we can better; one: give them the best possible equipment that there is, two: protect them, and three: enable them to accomplish their mission. The investment that our Army puts in taking care of our Soldiers providing them with the best possible equipment makes a big difference. It's important, it's important that the Soldiers have a chance to see this out here and know that they're helping to field the best possible system for the rest of the Army.
