Ahhh the memories
I got to Ft Benning right at the start of the 4th of July weekend. The only zero week detail I pulled was out at the 250 ft towers on the 4th.
One of the towers was set up as a ride and had guide cables and a lift cable. A bench seat was suspended under a parachute. The lift cable would pull the seat up to the top of the tower and released. The drag of the lift cable and the parachute would make the riders come down fairly slowly along the guide cables.
I helped the riders into and out of the seat. When kids wanted to ride but the parents didn't I "had to" ride with the kids. Made many an up and down that weekend. Far more than I did at Tower Week.
