On August 24, 1964, an instructor was onboard the MC-130E Combat Talon used by FOX for Jack's infiltration of Tselinoyarsk via HALO jump during the Virtuous Mission. The instructor counted down for the depressurization sequence, although he noticed Jack savoring his cigar rather than actually preparing for depressurization by putting on his mask. He complained irritably about whether Jack knew what he was doing while derisively referring to him as a "pantywaist" before presumably reporting the incident to Major Zero, who proceeded to tell Jack off. After the depressurization had been completed, the instructor continued counting down to indicate the right moment for Jack's HALO jump.
