As I recall it was 10 days, I do not think you had to be a senior parachutest but you had to have Jumpmaster school to get your master blaster wings. Don't know if that is still a requirement or not. The main things were how to check each jumpers gear for correctness. Check the reserve make sure the safety pin is pulled and chute zipped back up, harness and quick release and safety pin. The safety pins on the reserve and harness quick release are the most overlooked. Control the movement and exit from the aircraft. MOST important is the safety of the jump.
