Military and Civilian Rigger and Jumper here. I agree that sometimes you see some silly stuff on the DZ. Some POGs/REMFs use there credit cards an buy some crazy fake military gear to jump on the Civilian DZs... and they are totally embarrassing to the military, but they think they are so "Bad Ass" with all their Airsoft gear on... lol. there are a couple of their fake HALO pics floating on here and a few other places.

Good suggestion, it is a good idea to start with "The Parachute Manual", Volumes I & II. In the military we still use Beeswax for certain parachute applications (mostly older type parachutes.) It is a good tool used in moderation and only used on approved items. It works well in preventing wear on control lines, and pack closing loops on T-10 type parchute pack trays. I'm not sure I would want to put petroleum or wax in my cable housings. It is a good general rule to keep everything nice and clean.
