Cpl. Logan A. Hancock (right) prepares to execute a skid rappel from the top of a rappel tower as Sgt. Justin L. Dowdy observes Feb. 11 on Camp Hansen, Okinawa, Japan during the helicopter rope suspension training course. In order to execute the rappel, Hancock is ensuring his hand placement is correct and that he has proper footing for when he jumps backwards off the top of the tower. What makes the skid rappel unique is that it offers no other surface contact besides the rope itself. Hancock, an Albemarle, North Carolina native, is a reconnaissance man with Force Reconnaissance Company, 3rd Reconnaissance Battalion, 3rd Marine Division, III Marine Expeditionary Force. Dowdy, a Roland, Oklahoma native, is a Special Operations Training Group senior instructor for ropes special techniques with III MEF Headquarters Group, III MEF. (U.S Marine Corps photo by Cpl.
