JBER’s 773d LRS Airmen train to rig ‘em up right

U.S. Air Force Staff Sgt. Douglas Moye, a 773d Logistics Readiness Squadron combat mobility technician supervisor, checks an M-1 parachute release timing block used for heavy cargo platform parachutes at Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson, Alaska, Oct. 3, 2018. An arming wire sets the timing blocks off, once the timer hits zero it releases the parachute connector links from the M-1 parachute release system. This allows the main parachutes to separate from the load.
