- Description
- Training Marine Corps parachute troopers at Naval Air Station, Lakehurst, New Jersey. At an interval of less than a second apart, the parachute troopers hurl themselves out into space. Most jumping is done from an altitude of 750 feet, allowing a count of ten to fall free from the ship. If the first chute fials to open by that time, each man has an emergency schute he can use allowing him apporximately four seconds in which to open it and fall to earth.

Practice jumps are ordinarily made from a height of about 1000 feet, while compat jumps are made from a much lesser height. These men, thier chutes, opened automatically by the "static line" inside the plane, cleared the ship in about six seconds, the photo was made at the USMC Parachute School, New River, N. C. , where the men were taking a six-week course.
