@Far Out Man He is a commissioned officer. Check out his college ring. The officers wear their rings because they need more recognition that they have a degree. 20 years for me and I have served with plenty of enlisted that have degrees, yet none wear a school ring. So... the Apple watch just says that he doesn't get out from behind a desk.
I wanted to be a paratrooper when I first went to join the military. After watching videos like this, I came to my senses and became a foot soldier. It really takes a special breed of people to want to do this 👍🏽
It's really not that bad. The first jump and the first night jump are pretty scary, but after that you get used to it. On that first jump when you shuffle up to the door and see the ground zooming by you really start to question your life choices, but once you're out and you see your chute open it's pure ecstasy (until the landing at least)
@@GabrielTobing you should become a navy seabee because they build bases in the worst spots of warzones and also fight in combat to protect the construction site
Memories! The hardest part about jumping in the military is the landing. You usually come down fast, very fast, which is why you have to go to school just to learn how to do a PLF (parachute landing fall), because if you mess up the technique, you can literally break some bones.
@@charliew6024 I you get injured you don't leave service for it generally. I had a couple more jumps after I was fully healed, but it wasn't a fun time.
When I was a kid I had these little green soldier guys, the little plastic ones that my mom used to buy from Winn's, and they had paratrooper ones. I had little tanks too, and even as a kid I had a feeling that I was gonna join the military (army or marines, something with a ground force and something that would be exciting). I joined the US Army in the early-mid 2000s as an M1 Abrams Tanker (I loved tanks, still do; total tank need lol), _but_ I didn't ask my recruiter if I'd be able to go to airborne school (I didn't know these things back then obvi)... After getting outta OSUT and arriving at my first unit in the real Army, I asked my PSG if I could go to airborne school whenever possible, and he straight up laughed in my face and told the other guys so they could laugh at me too lol he said "There hasn't been any airborne tankers since WWII back when they used to drop tanks from the sky, you doofus!" Lol I was the FNG so I caught a lot of shit for it, and one of the NCOs literally had me jump off of this tree next to our company building like 10 times 😂 and _that's_ the extent of my airborne training in the army.
@@kennyhuskisson2684 my fellow armor 🤙🏻 Yeah, when I was a kid heights didn't bother me at all, I'd ride every intense ride at the carnival each year, etc., And then I deployed, and Fast forward to the end of the tour and I go home and go with my little sister to the carnival, and I'm on this wicked ride called the Hard Rock and I was excited, and man I HATED IT! it scared the SHIT OUTTA me dude! Hahaha those G-forces, and the same thing with heights... I get all dizzy n shit and it gives me the willies now, so now I'm ALL ABOUT staying my ass on the ground! Something during that deployment changed something in my head or brain chemistry or whatever to where now I would NOT ever want to skydive/do airborne shit now 😂 Actually just now I remember this... I did see another tanker in the other company who had airborne wings. Maybe he got em back in your day?
@@BillBraskyy Yeah I never was crazy about heights, scared the shit outa me, my knuckles turned white from holding on, lol. Yeah one of my drill sargeants talked to us about jumping & earning our wings, I said Hell no! I'd do it now but I'm too old, lol👍✌️
I want to tell you, we are from the same generation of enlistment..you have a couple of years on me….I want you to know that MF who laughed at you, you can now laugh right back at him…. I was like you a wanted to be an airborne tanker…..it took 20 years, but I’m one of the first airborne tankers, in the 82nd with tanks…..First ABN tank unit in 29 years…Cheers to you, sorry you didn’t get to live out your dream, but I will do my best to live it justly for you!!!!
That anxiety when he says standbye will always get me, adrenaline starts pumping then you jump, get your 30 seconds of freedom then PLF then it's time to go to work....good times
@@JackOnDaRoks93 I've got nearly 20 jumps. Still gets to me every jump. Even just Hollywood jumps. The nerves and fear try to take hold. I always get out that door tho.
Reminds me of my first jump in the 82nd, which was kinda unusual. Most of our jumps back then were C-130 night, mass attack, with combat equipment, 800ft AGL. UH-60 was 1500ft AGL IIRC, tons of air time. You can feel the helo push away from you when you exit. The whole time you're riding in it, it feels like you're going to fall out.
@LRRPFco52 My great g'pa was in the 82nd up to Salerno in WWII. After Italy, he was transferred to the 101st. You really are an All American (I'm referring to the nickname given to your division); Thank you for serving 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
@@graysonvirtue4058 From what I understand, the mask they're using is for protecting the crew chief's face from heavy wind/potential debris and allowing them to speak into the mic without heavy wind noise when they're sticking their head outside the helicopter.

I have had this beautiful experience 3 times in my life. I still remember those beautiful memories.i wish I could do it for one more time after retirement.
Woww the exciting part is when sitting on the edge of the heli before jumping and the instant moment when jumping, after in mid air the Adrenalin rush seems to goes off or slow down phewwwwww............ what a jump :D "D
Awesome video!! Closest thing to the real deal from a desktop. That's for sure. Go Airborne!! Thank you for your service and courage to jump out of that Black Hawk...

Nice job, ladies!! Excellent canopy steering and PLF. so I guess the quick Capewell release is taught for breezy military jumps? Effective, for sure...
i realy enjoy watghing these fims revives my memorys we used c47 aircraft most of my jumps were on oida naval air sta near beppu japan early 50s we used the T7 chute to start then came the T10 big improvment on opening shock i packed the last chute i jumped in fort lee va. late 55 i got out dec 29th
Did 14 jumps with a T-10 in Germany - nice big canopy, no major landings although they should have been due to my crap drills! 😂 Couldn’t wait to get back up after re-packing them ourselves! Happy days!
@Far Out Man 2/75 produces the best NCOs I've ever worked with. F Co 52nd Infantry Long Range Surveillance Company, Ft. Lewis. Half the guys there were from 2/75. Loved Ft. Lewis.
@Far Out Man A good friend of mine (RIP) was Force Recon in the early 1960s, did his 4 years then went to college in TX and ran the OPFOR unit in his ROTC program. The guys he trained went on to later become pillars in USASOC/JSOC. He went Army officer after that, started out in Korea, then went SF. Retired from SF into contracting. Used to shoot a lot of matches with him outside of Bragg. Not all ROTC programs are created equally, and like anything else, the quality of people and leadership will make or break any organization. 2/75 has an unbroken chain of combat-experienced NCOs dating back to at least Vietnam, where those guys formed the senior leadership when the Battalion was stood up in 1974. The Bn SGM, 1SGs, and PSGs were all LRRPs and SF NCOs with many years of service and tours to SEA, especially since 2/75 was formed out of H Company, 75th Rangers/LRPs. Those guys raised the new generation of Ranger privates joining the Army in the 1970s, who went on to become NCOs who jump into Grenada in 1983. Those guys raised the privates and NCOs who jumped into Panama in 1989. An NCO cadre with combat scrolls dating back forms an unbroken chain of lessons-learned in blood that is handed to each new Ranger PFC when he shows up to his Platoon.
Zachary S, only people who have jumped will get this anxiety because they know what it feels like to jump. People who haven't jumped yet can't have this anxiety.. So there's that, be safe and don't break your legs please;)
Man, this video did bring back memories for me also. Loved the birds chirping. Admittedly, I cringed during his PLF. Suppose to be watching the horizon, but how many of us looked down at the fast approaching blurry LZ? When I was in, the Blackhawks had to lift off with doors closed, not required with the Hueys, so I preferred them over the Blackhawks.. Tailgating out the back of a C-130 always exciting. Not so thrilling to be sucked out the door on the C-141
its the most unsafe fun and exciting thing you’ll ever do. especially airborne school. airborne school was an insane thrill ride. you’re filled with adrenaline an fear.
82nd CSC 2/504 81-84 Best Jump was a Huey on a Saturday fun jump or pay hurt day. Sun out, thermal and a slow ride. If we wanted a picture it was an old film camera 📸
I was an Airborne Ranger back in the day and look at this clip and still can't figure out why or how i did. Honestly, I think it's mostly just plain old ego that drives us to such heights. God bless them all.
Denny Law. I went through Benning Airborne & Ranger training as well. Difficult but great experience. I don't think I ever jumped from as high an altitude as these soldiers. Remember hanging from deployed chute for about 20 seconds.

@@marccrotty8447 I was as high for sure as this and HALO was way up there, but today they have better equipment and take your time if you wish coming down and steer them easier. I think we all were taught get on the ground as fast as possible because we're targets in the air. I just wanted people to admire me and think I was something I guess. We did get the best food so that was part of it, and of course we got extra jump pay and that figured into it. I'm smarter today than I was back then that's for sure.I thank you for serving in any capacity as no one does anymore in this society. Everyone want's the benefits but unwilling to pay a price.
Riggers. They pack your chutes. Your life relies on their skill. Keep them current , regardless of how jealous you are of a helicopter jump. I was in the 82nd. If that's what it takes. Keep sending them up..........oh yeah I was 1/82 avn bde. We jumped in Ft.Hood, Tx. As a battalion ..DD4187
@@sagarsharma3048 they don't do it perfectly every time. Often they land on very uneven terrain. They also have to do night jumps. Unfortunately, the circumstances are not perfect. This is the testimony of many Army jumpers I have known. It's a rough life.
I loved jumping from hueys, no shock from opening doors on a plane...as a rigger my final test of jumping main chute and reserve chute was out of a chopper. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!!!
I could start right now as a reserve but I want to do the tryouts for paratrooper first. I passed basic medical and mental tests so far. Now I need to go for the special paratrooper tests which are extra medical test and an extra strength test involving push ups and pull ups. If I pass I switch my career to military.
Весной 2013 года во время службы в 104гв. ДШП ВДВ совершил прыжок из вертушки Ми-8, на борту было 16 десантников включая командира. Самый зрелищный и запоминающий прыжок был 😎😉
I'm surprised the paratroop with the GoPro was so silent on the descent. My mantra is "OH SH*T, OH SH*T, OH SH*T" until I hit the ground. Then I say, "I gotta piss."

Felt like I was with you in that jump. Reminds me of my days with HHC 1/504th P.I.R (Red) “Devils In Baggy Pants” ya’ heard?!😉👍🏿
cloudkicker06 STRIKE HOLD!!!
michael benson, you know it, brotha!!👍🏿
That’s awesome, skydiving is something I got todo one day.
Riggers. They pack your chutes. Your life relies on their skill. Keep them current , regardless of how jealous you are of a helicopter jump. I was in the 82nd. If that's what it takes. Keep sending them up..........oh yeah I was 1/82 avn bde. We jumped in Ft.Hood, Tx. As a battalion ..DD4187
They also made the best damn dog leashes. That unique sound of a snap hook... I jumped on Border Star in 85.
And this is why soldiers are the bomb! Mad respect!
Seriously, when I was in the Army we jumped without parashoots and we landed on our heads.
Yeah ok buddy
FreshXpert Original no he’s right. Why else would this comment make no damn sense?
What's a "parashoot"? Is that anything like a "parachute"?
I believe you.
then whos writing the comment
I am proud of you army brother 🤗🤗
Is there an extended static line on thos Jumps. Canadian Airborne 2 Commando
God bless them. After a couple dozen jumps, most of them will have lifetime knee and back problems. That is some rough stuff.
Why is that so if they do it perfectly everytime?
@@sagarsharma3048 they don't do it perfectly every time. Often they land on very uneven terrain. They also have to do night jumps. Unfortunately, the circumstances are not perfect. This is the testimony of many Army jumpers I have known. It's a rough life.
COOL,............ It's been 27 years i'm out of the ARMY, Now I wish I went to AIRBORNE SCHOOL.....
Eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee you have a good idea
Blackhawk jumps were super rare when I was in the 82nd.
My heart was beating fast, and when the soldier filming jumped I almost screamed 😂
Really
Nice 👍
just watching this makes me so anxious
Great jump, thank you for sharing
Loved this. Great vid
OMG! It remembers me my first jump ever at 16 years old .... para one time, para forever :))
5 jump to be a chump. Any less you're still a mess. Dirty rotten leg😝
Man I miss walking up to a running UH60 to hook up for fun jump. It's a close 2nd to doing an ERO on a C130.
Them, jumping out of a helicopter: "I got this."
Me, going to stand up after laying on the couch for 9 hours straight: "I got this."
Go,go,go, all the way, brothers, all the way. 71-74, 76-80, 83-87.
Nice.....good set up of that release point. Pathfinder, and DZ detail on point that day. Nice jump
That landing was HARD, damn. No Flare? Ouch. Thank you for serving.
I was thinking that too' That Soldier did a hard landing...
I loved jumping from hueys, no shock from opening doors on a plane...as a rigger my final test of jumping main chute and reserve chute was out of a chopper. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!!!
I can still feel the butterflies.
Welcome to another episode of where the quarantine has led me today
What did you do at work today?
Ah... Just another day at the office!
I could start right now as a reserve but I want to do the tryouts for paratrooper first. I passed basic medical and mental tests so far. Now I need to go for the special paratrooper tests which are extra medical test and an extra strength test involving push ups and pull ups. If I pass I switch my career to military.
3:23 the jump master's wire rope is a bit over-moving. I think there might be a possibility of making a loop snagging on paratroopers' gear.
Wow that looks so fun
WE need a jumper to were a Go-Pro, No Screamers! For what these fine people are doing for us, the least we can do is subscribe!
Tou guys are badass thank you for what you are doing much respect from me
Airborne! Soldiers!!! HOOAH from this ol Medic Soldier. Never jumped.... at least not yet.....
🇺🇸👍💪🙏🥃 This weekend I’ll pour a glass for yas!!!
Jumping is the best experience of my life
3:28 When she says her parents aren't home.
Not funny
llmao😄😄
Overused gayass joke
Bb
All are brave men and huge hero, love you guys.
Nice PLF
In my day no go pro
Otherwise exactly the same.
It was a good time.
“That others may live”
PJ?
2 times in my life I actually heard peace and quiet. Sailing through the air and the other was when my wife Sat behind me with her hands over my ears
I don't ever remember it being that soft of a landing... What happened to PLF's?? lol.
Весной 2013 года во время службы в 104гв. ДШП ВДВ совершил прыжок из вертушки Ми-8, на борту было 16 десантников включая командира. Самый зрелищный и запоминающий прыжок был 😎😉
That was spectacular....I miss being in the 82nd 2/325.
Me too. 3/505
1/325 here.
1/508
1/507
Shomar Thompson 1/506
And then in another Corner of the world there is our paragliding man..vipin sahu the great
over 30 years ago, when I saw my parachute open like a flower in the air, I shouted "mother! I made it"
good luck to soldiers!
Way cool! Thanks for the great footage.
Thanks You For 145 ♥
Ab 200 Krado 😅♥
Love you All ♥
Had this in contract along with infantry. Wanted to be a paratrooper but ended up a 5 jump chump. Still better than a leg
When I was in the Army 1987. They had stopped calling them "Airborne" and called them "AirAssault". Has that changed over the decades since I left?
They changed it back to Airborne since then and the Air Assualt is not fast-roping from the bird
@@distinguishedallureproduct879 Gotcha thanks for the clarification.
Air Assault is rappelling from a chopper while Airborne still jump. 82 still jumps. 101st are mostly assault.
One time got to stand in the door. Was so cool watching the world by. Waiting for my signal
That actually looks like fun, I'd love to do that
EludeAdaptSurvive Reid yeah until you have to land
Yeah....When gun fire shooting from ground...
You can! Just go see your local Army Recruiter, I'm sure he'll be happy to hook you right up!!
Very nice DZ....from malaysia skydivers...gd luck US airborne..
Damn feels nervous...but once he jumped, the view was awesome...if it was me, maybe I'll pee on my pants...lol
ça me rappel le bon vieux temps !!
I'm surprised the paratroop with the GoPro was so silent on the descent. My mantra is "OH SH*T, OH SH*T, OH SH*T" until I hit the ground. Then I say, "I gotta piss."
D Lee or clean your sh*t 👍🏽
Noise discipline.
I sharted watching
i was 6'4" before jump school, i'm 5'7' now.
@@francisjoiner7248 Ha !
I was 5'7
Then I bungee jumped, now Im 6'4
Dang gravity
A loud and thunderous AIRBORNE!
This takes lots of courage and sameness to achieve
