How high do I have to reach for the anchor lines on the C-130?

World War II paratroopers were an average of 69" (5' 9") tall, and we've continued to make sure that the parachute systems accommodate women and shorter men as well.The anchor line cable is generally approximately 70" (5'10") when strung, and drops as the weight of the static lines are added to it to about 66" (5'6"). This depends on the aircraft, of course - the C130 strings it lower, but has a shorter overall length than a C17, so it "sags" less on the C130 than on the C17. Regardless, you just have to be able to reach the anchor line cable with your arm extended. Unless you have T-Rex arms, you'll be fine!

MEPS is required to make sure you can reach first. AS 1SG (Join to see) stated its something like 84 inches. If I was at work I could tell you exactly, but I remember it's in the 80s

Let me just say that I have seen some pretty short airborne students as well as on jump status troopers. The only height requirement that I am aware of is for jumpmasters having a minimum reach of 84 inches.
