Right, now I'm in front of a computer...
First- Fox, I will say that the CS looks quite interesting actually, I had a proper good look again. Pararescue are the emergency services for even when SEALs are fucked- so the training and operations they go on are extremely dangerous, definitely a cut above. Funniest thing is, a malfunction like that wouldn't be completely off the rails, and owing to the fact of how little time you'd have to correct a mal like that (ie. go for a reserve) after such a shit opening, it hardly surprises me.. Key phrase being completely (I skydive, and trust me, you'd have time to deal with it if it were higher, but it would be pretty fucking terrifying). It's more problems with packing (it's a 1 in 750 or so that you will get a mal, nothing like that though at that rate) that can cause the problem, over equipment failure- though that isn't unknown either. There will be airborne insertions, and I can see Merlin and her getting on very well when it comes to that sort of line of work, regarding packing and being jumpmasters.
Second, I'm working away on your PMs. Monchromatic, I see another loadout to be filled in too on your CS, just being randomly curious :D
