Mess with my main..but NOT with my reserve (i.e. safety net)Videos like this produce at least more questions to ask the AFF instructor..

My instructors showed me how to do a line check, set my brakes, flake the cells, but then i was supposed to walk away and let the rigger do the rest. When i go for my A license i will have to do a complete pack job for a consecutive number of times under supervision, i believe..

You took the full course all at once, then we all had to go to a pool and jump in with a trashed rig with a reserve in it to weigh you down. The instructor with assistance then placed a full size canopy over you. after removing the container You had to come out of the water under the canopy with your hand extended upward, to clear an airpocket, get some air in you lungs, then get out from under the canopy. At that time I had 17 jumps and they said it was past time that I learn. Different places do different things.Life is short ... jump often.
