Gunnery Sgt. Mickey Eaton, left, assistant operations chief, Bravo Company, 1st Reconnaissance Battalion, and a native of Chicago, checks the equipment of his Marines before jumping from a C-130 Hercules during a double-bag static line course held in Parker, Ariz., March 24, 2014. A static line is a cord attached from one end of the aircraft to the other. When the Marine jumps from the plane, the line pulls the deployment bag out of the pack on the Marine’s back causing the parachute to inflate. The Marines started the Course with several days of classes and practical application before stepping onto the plane. Their first jump was with only minimal gear, which allowed them to familiarize themselves with the parachute before progressing to full combat equipment. (Photo by Lance Cpl. Christopher J.
