An Ebrian journalist is writing an article on the airborne forces, and during her interview the troops decided she should try on some of their gear. In order to get a feel for it and all that. Needless to say, she was taken aback by the weight (having never even worn a parachute before, let alone such heavy gear), much to the amusement of those she’s interviewing. They did eventually help were out of the kit, especially since nobody wanted to have to repack the parachutes incase she accidentally pulled any handles. Though she did inflate the attached life preserver, the loud popping and hissing startling her considerably, understandably so (can speak from experience. Inflating lifevests is loud).

A lighthearted scene which also served as some much needed angle/perspective practice. It’s rough, for sure. But it’s something at least.
