First, I am new/untrained and I am not waiting very well for the local DZs to open up again so I can start training.
Sooo Here’s a crazy idea… Perhaps because I’m ex military but I want to perform actual cutaways and reserve rides at least annually if not right before the reserve is due a re-pack. I want to know what it feels like, what to expect and how the reserve canopy flies differently then the main.
Stupid idea?? What am I missing??

Not a stupid idea at all.
This used to be a requirement. As was an actual water jump, into the water.
The real question is did this requirement increase safety and make better jumpers. And why was this practice stopped?
Many proponents of this are adamant that it made better safer jumpers.
