I was involved with skydiving for a short time many moons ago and we always packed our own main chutes. But I don’t remember packing the reserve chute. The skydiving club was a on the Army base and I think maybe we had official Army parachute riggers for that.

Perhaps. But I can’t help but admire US Navy jet pilot Charles Plumb’s attitude about it, in another great war story from this article, “Who Packs Your Parachute?”
