Joe Ostrum, 820th Combat Operations Squadron personal parachute program manager, front, third from the left, after he earned his senior-rated parachutist badge during a static-line jump, Oct. 3, 2017, at the Lee Fulp drop zone in Tifton, Ga. During a static-line jump, the jumper is attached to the aircraft via the ‘static-line’, which automatically deploys the jumpers’ parachute after they’ve exited the aircraft.
