You can also route your chest strap backwards through the buckle something I thankfully found out on the ground right before my first AFF jump.

This is almost certainly going to come out wrong, but I having all 35 jumps, sometimes find it difficult taking canopy advice from people with 500 plus jumps who are consistently biffing landings when I've stood up every landing since being off AFF (completed in 5 jumps not including 2 tandems). Basically I guess what I'm trying to say is that the number of jumps doesn't matter for me when I get advice and I'm very cautions when taking advice from people who's skills are unknown or seem to be marginaly better than my own. However, I do have people at the DZ who I respect and admire and try to find a lesson in everything they say. I could see how students could be doomed from the start if their DZ was run by the same slack-jawed yokals that I find giving me hap-hazard advice.
