I was told by a Ranger who served in the late 90's that all of the old methods like using your reserve chute to climb down are now verboten because you might damage the chute. He also told me that the training facilities in Florida and Georgia had safety tape strung along various places to ensure that no trainees stepped into deep water in the swamps.

I'm not even going to talk about the changes to the mountain climbing training, but just wow.

Times change.
