Job Description
Take your skills to new heights as a Parachute Rigger in the Army
National Guard. You will be responsible for the safety of the men,
women, and equipment that are using the parachutes you pack. This
requires incredible attention to detail, as chutes of varying sizes
must be precisely packed and maintained. In addition to packing
chutes, you will take responsibility for maintaining the materials
of the chute as well. This includes patching, sewing, and storage
of the chutes, packs, and web gear.
Did we mention that you'll be jumping too? To test your
chute-packing abilities, you'll be required to jump in a chute you
packed yourself. But don't worry! Your training, which includes
airborne jump training, will fully prepare you for the
adventure.
Job Duties
• Rig supplies, equipment, and vehicles for airdrop
• Perform technical, routine, and in-storage rigger-type inspection
on cargo, extraction, and personnel parachutes, as well as other
airdrop equipment before, during, and after each use
• Inventory, clean, receive, store, and issue all airdrop equipment
used in airdrop operations
• Use and maintain machines and tools for fabrication, modification
and repair to parachutes and other airdrop equipment
• Inspect, test, and install extraction and release systems
Some of the Skills You'll Learn
• Maintenance of air-sea rescue equipment
• Repair of inflatable rafts and other survival equipment
Helpful Skills
• Knowledge of shop mechanics and science
• High attention to detail
• Interest in contributing to the safety of others
Through your training, you will develop the skills and experience
to enjoy a civilian career with parachute rigging and supply
companies, commercial parachuting schools, some government
agencies, and survival equipment manufacturing firms.
Earn While You Learn
Instead of paying to learn these skills, get paid to train. In the
Army National Guard, you will learn these valuable job skills while
earning a regular paycheck and qualifying for tuition
assistance.
Job training for a Parachute Rigger consists of 10 weeks of Basic
Training, where you'll learn basic Soldiering skills, and 16 weeks
of Advanced Individual Training. Part of this time is spent in the
classroom and part in the field.
