I am currently a paratrooper myself and I can tell you that we normally jump at 1250 feet. The parachutes are connected to a static line which is attached to the aircraft and the parachute automatically deploys and is fully inflated after about 4 seconds. After that depending on your weight and how much gear you are carrying you fall at about 20 ft per second until you crash hard into the ground....

When dressing an open chest wound where do you tie the knot?
There shouldn't be a knot to tie. The treatment for an open chest wound is to put a piece of plastic over it and tape it down on the sides so that air cannot get in or out of the wound. There's nothing to tie down anywhere in that. You could be thinking of flail chest which has more to do with broken bones then an open chest wound. As an army medic I find your question soul crushingly confusing.

Around 3,000 feet above ground. This is to allow enough time to perform your emergency procedures in case of emergency. But also to do your canopy (parachute) checks and to position yourself for your landing. In South Africa the rule is that you must have an open parachute on 1,200 feet above ground. Depending on your speed and type, size and pack of your parachute, it may require anything from 300 to 800 feet for you parachute to open.

How do you get an airborne tab?
You only get to wear an Airborne tab if you're serving in an Airborne unit - there is one exception to this, which is the 101st - no longer an Airborne division, but they retain the tab for historical reasons. Even in the leg divisions, you can still be on jump status. Each division has a LRS-D (Long Range Surveillance Detachment), which is assigned to the Military Intelligence unit for that division. You will have to try out for it, when tryouts are open. Some divisions will require you to be jump qualified before you attend LRS-D tryouts - others may send personnel who are not jump qualified to the jump school at Fort Benning once they pass tryouts. Or, you could simply enlist on an Airborne contract, and opt for an Airborne unit as your first duty assignment (82nd Airborne or 173rd Infantry Brigade are the main ones, as is any unit subordinate to SOCOM, including the 160th SOAR, Psychological Operations and Civil Affairs, etc.).
