I've been obsessivley searching for information to try and piece together a good idea of what's typically involved in groundcrewing. What are the tasks involved? What is the 'expereince' like? I've got a pretty good vision from what i've read, but I'd appreciate a nice, detailed summation.

Also, are people known to groundcrew who have no intention of BASE jumping? How is this practice looked upon?

Any additional thoughts or reflections on groundcrewing is welcome.

Thanks a bunch!

Asset or liability you decide.

something worthwhile having is decent first aid training.. this will be appreciated by jumpers who you ask to GC for them. Being able to communicate accurately the conditions on the ground is a need. What you have to understand is most of the time GC is made up of other jumpers who are able to offer good assistance to the jumpers, so you have to be able to match the assistance that these people give.... do a search on the BASE forums available as this question has also been asked alot in the past and there are some good responses to it rather than the skydiveresque muck you seem to get in this forum recently.....

those who dont Know speak the loadest
