    Sgt. Derrick S. Thompson II, left, a parachute rigger with 1st Radio Battalion, I Marine Expeditionary Force, and a Rialto, Calif., native, checks the knots of a fellow Marine’s gear before he rappels during a Marine Heavy Helicopter Squadron 466 aided fast-roping and rappelling training exercise aboard Marine Corps Base Camp Pendleton, July 25. Through fast-roping and rappelling techniques, Marines can quickly enter not only rugged terrain but urban environments that would not provide proper space for landing.
