Quick question, SFers are doing VBSS ?​
 
Just out of curiosity, any equipment failures with the nods while freefalling? Heh....the old rhinos would fail I bet.

I've only jumped the 15's with the wilcox mount. I know of guys who jumped the 14's and 6's with the wilcox. I myself had two issues with it and that was me messing up on my modified pull sequence.
 
Yes,
I've been to one of those countries mentioned and I know that an sister ODA did do VBSS while we did MFF.
That is a pretty cool mission. I have heard the older 7th group dive bubbas talking about roping onto submarines. Other than that I haven't heard of too much VBSS type stuff. Good info.
