Whats the best place (price) to pick up an optimum 143? I'm active military if it helps. Thanks in advance.
I got mine from Mike G at Chutingstar. I don't remember if I did or didn't get any military discount (got it while I was still AD) but having his support behind it more than makes the deal worth it.
ETA: With that said, just about any gear store that sells PD gear will be able to get you one.

Well after some looking around all of the "major" places are asking the same and PD doesn't do a .mil discount. No biggie just watch the classifieds. Thanks for the help all.

You guys are right, fuck him he's not worth the trouble.

the only info that the person lists is 150 jumps and military experience
Would you not agree that if it's a 120lbs person, a OP143 would not be a terrible choice ?

And what do you think the chances are he is less than 150 out the door? He said he was in the military, didn’t say anything about military experience in jumping.

I have no idea what those chances are, but I have dealt with a number of dudes who were pretty lightweight.
What I was pointing out is that you are assuming that the person would be overloading the OP143 beyond what's safe for their skill level. And that may not be the case, yet you make an absolute statement as if know some facts that are not presented to us by the OP.
Notice how I am not answering your question ? it's because I have no idea, and I prefer not to make wild assumptions.
