    Marine Corps Base Hawaii

    Lance Cpl. Calford Pader, a parachute rigger with 4th Force Reconnaissance Company, 4th Marine Division, dons his final piece of gear before boarding an Air Force C-17 transport aircraft to parachute over Marine Corps Base Hawaii, July 28, 2011. Over a two-day training event, the recon Marines combined forces with Army, Air Force and Navy parachutists from Special Operations Command, Pacific, and SEAL Delivery Vehicle Team 1 to conduct static-line and free-fall parachute operations. Conducted bi-monthly as part of the recon Marines' sustainment training, the parachute operations served to better parachutist jump proficiency, and allowed jumpmasters to gain experience supervising their parachutists.
