My day has long passed. At the time I was in uniform and people said thank you for your service I never gave much reflection.
Now that I have children, the service and sacrifice of our brave men and women means everything to me.
On this Easter, I want to wish all in uniform and their families, be it near or far, past and present, alive or deceased a Happy Easter.
From the bottom of my heart, from my family to you and yours...
Thank you for your service.
May the good Lord bless and protect you all.
From the bottom of my heart You* are good man. LORD GOD BLESS YOU* and YOUR* FAMILY. AMEN
My hands sweat just watching this. RESPECT.
2:10 I feel your pain. It SUCKS being short jumping a C-17
It's not pain, not scared. Just jump.
And the cable up so high, and a couple hundred pounds of gear hanging off you. I nicknamed this guy Shortie McShorckleson.
Yea well only the tall bugger had to jump a dragon or an AT4. Not comfortable.
Try being tall and jumping a 130.
@@aceshigh7 I've Always felt sorry for you all. I've seen jumpers slam their head off the door as they went out
C-130 rolling down the strip.
Airborne Rangers gonna take a little trip
Stand right up and shuffle to the door
Jump right out then count to four
If my chute don't open wide
I got another one by my side
Lol!
Salute!
U.S. Army Sergeant Veteran (E-6) 1976-1991
THANK YOU FOR YOUR SERVICE!!!!!!
The civilian life is overrated..I miss the brotherhood and structure..I kinda feel lost without
Greetings JoeJoe - salute from a former paratrooper

I can't believe all the room you have in that Plane. In my day the jumpmaster would walk across the plane on our laps . Airborne !! You Call We Fall ! May the great jumpmaster guard and protect your steps ..........!
That would have been the safety, and yeah, trying to check static lines after hook up was a PITA in a C130/C141... fracking crowded... I had to walk across the seat frames moving up the stick to check them.
Right! '79 Last jump into Yakima WA. Flight from NC to WA. Sitting in middle of C-141 Star Lifter, walked on troopers to rear of jet, rigged up, walked back on troopers to seat. So close together, trooper across from you has legs between yours against your ruck, can't move. 0200hrs start time, drop time sunrise. Door
Door opens, Freezing air, jet engines roar. Shouting from relieve to Stand up! Shuffle to the door, Zoom! In the Wind. I'm 66 now. HHC1/505th Abn Inf.
Thank yall for your service. Takes balls to jump out of a perfectly good aircraft.
No it doesn't just lack of brains. Also a job, so...
@@wf6951 i disagree. Lack of brains to be a politician. Military members are the few who have a true sense of honor for our country.
@@skymedic48 Honestly isn't that hard. Just one foot followed by the other.
Give your profile name "firemedic" I'm sure you'd easily be able to handle it if you're in either of the services.
@@Emogeta i don't know about easily, but when the time comes and counts, i think just sorta go into auto mode.
@@skymedic48 That's pretty much how it is. Just watching the video I felt myself going in auto mode.
The best sound in the world is when the airplane doors open. There is nothing that rush you get from that sound. I miss it everyday! A 3/319 13F (Late '90s)
I was there that day, we waited in humvees below to pick them up. It was a sight to see at the time.
AIRBORNE! More fun to watch than to do. Been there.
Still beat the shit out of walking !
I would rather do
Mike White
Airborne for 8 years here.
I remember us jumping into different places back in 1988. Salute! Airborne All The Way Hooah!!! Ft.Bragg, N.C.1988-1993
2007-2013 Airborne!
Was on Bragg 72-75 HQ CO,3/325. whoooaaa
C.Co 1/504 PIR. 95-98
2Fury 82-85 Hooah AATW and RLTW 🇺🇸
You guys are AWESOME!
I never get tired of watching these videos.
I can still remember in-flight rigging. I was in C/1-325 and we did it on the way from Bragg to Panama. A pain!
What PLT were you in? I was in Charlie Company 1/325 3rd plt. I went to Panama then to
@@davidechohawk9761 I had the Mortar Platoon. Who are you, dude??? We might have been on the same plane!🤣
@@rhight David D. Echo Hawk here. Charlie Company 1/325 ABN INF from September '76 - April '79. Sgt. Simmons plt sgt, Sgt Dawkins 2nd Plt sgt, 1st Plt was Sgt Rand. I don't know about our Weapons Plt but they were there located at that time downstairs.
@@davidechohawk9761 I got there in the summer of 1980, so I guess we missed each other. Plt Sgt was Ramirez, can't remember the rest of the gang. Small world, though!
I'm told by JMs these days that in-flight rigging will only happen if we're jumping into asia/europe/africa, any JFE anywhere in the americas and we're doing that crap on green ramp and sucking it up for the flight because inflight rigging an entire chalk sucks
“What about getting back into the plane?”
I remember flying from Fort Bragg to New Mexico for our heavy equipment drop. We jumped in and spent 6 nights 7 days on desert training. Airborne. 1971-75.
Loved jumping from the C-17. Cadillac of the sky!
Jumped into White Sands in 1973 with the 2/325 for a couple weeks of desert training and played aggressors against a Mech Infantry unit out of Ft.Bliss , Base Camp Dona Anna was 6 Quanset huts back then
Currently serving with White Falcons!
US 54 cuts through a Hugh military complex in NM to include Ft Bliss, MacGregor Range, Holliman AFB, White Sands MR and Stallion.
GOD BLESS OUR MEN&WOMEN IN UNIFORM AND GOD BLESS THE U.S.A.
I loved being a soldier it truly is an adventure, I envy today's soldiers and I wish i could still talk the talk and walk the walk. HOOAH! All the way!
Dang I miss the jumping. These C17’s are huge. C130’s and 141’s were so tight the air crew moved back and forth walking on our rucks. I never heard of chuting up in the bird. It would have made those long flights nicer. Wow all the gear has changed but the shuffle is the same. AIRBORNE!
Amazing
3:50 2nd jumper really wants his bicep ripped off by not handing over that static line.
I lived at WSMR as a kid. Never saw anyone jump in there. As a paratrooper I never got to jump in to WSMR, either. Love that area.
That's a bunch of good kids there. God Bless America. 🇺🇸
God bless America
@Tn wild man that’s what I’m saying!
Beast.
I did 6 static jumps as a civilian hanging off the wing strut of a Cessna 182... Best one way plane ride ever.... Wished I’d been a ranger..... Thanks for your service men..
What does being a ranger have to do anything with airborne? Airborne and ranger aren't the same thing. There a lot of other airborne units. Ranger as in 75th is special operations. You high?
Those wing strut jumps are so much fun. I liked a high altitude one of those better than the tandem jumps.
82nd Airborne Division, Summer 1967, and then on to the 101st Airborne Division, Ft. Campbell, KY, and then on to RVN.
This takes me back to a better time.
I want to go Airborne
Nothing like tailgating a C130 at night. 101st Ann 62-65
I've been missing this since August 22nd, 1995 0200 TOT.
I was watching from the ground one night during Border Star when the U.S. Army, Marines and Canadians jumped out of about 30 C-130's! They were LALO jumps!
Was 5'2" in the 82nd signal battalion,always jumped with extra batteries for the asip.
Sweet memories :)
It’s a lot different than the mid 50’s. Looking good. ALL THE WAY 🇺🇸🦅
Its a lot different today then it will be 50 years from now.
The best.. No questions asked 😎
1973 - We spent three nights sleeping along with our equipment and vehicles (Gama Goats and Jeeps) on the tarmac at Pope Air Force base, during the October Arab-Israeli War of 1973. Mission Ready, Airborne.
The smell of oil and aviation exhaust filled the air, along with who knows what else?
The average population doesn't have any idea what is going on behind the scenes.
I get scared just jumping out of bed every morning. Much respect. 😎
@@anthonybourdain2213
I'm glad you responded, it shows you care.
Nice job
Thank You,Formerly Sgt James Arden Hq&Hq 325 Glider Inf 82 Abn
Love our Military Men, God Bless you.🙏❤
And women
God bless and protect always.!
I noticed some have different helmets. Can u choose whatever they have or do they just give it
I miss those days!!!!! 😅
Oh man, I miss this shit SO much. JUMPER IN THE DOOR! HOOA!
The men of courage
Went down on a hanky through flak & tracer with a blazing 'sten' in WW2 ? Men !
Bon courage c'est magnifique
Best decision I ever made to be apart of 82nd ABN Infantry, definitely helped mold me into the man I am today. Hello to all who I served with E Co 1/505th INF 3rd brigade from early 80s . The good ole days 11HE91P
Stay 1P and H-MINUS!
Way back in 1973 my unit 2/504 Inf jumped in to White Sand also. We jumped from a C-141 and we were packed in like sardines, the C-17 looks so roomy by comparison.
Last jump, winter 73, on flight from Bragg to Yakima, C-141 Starlifter, center seating, so close that knees were touching or between each other's legs. Rigging up front & back of plane, so start from center. Had to climb over troops. 1st rigged up, climbed back over troops with chute, reserve, ruck, WEIC and Wait for completion, 2-3 hours. When doors opened, freezing air, Let Me Out! Grunts yelling hollering! Settled down, geen light, GO! Reached door, I'M OUT! Sunrise, Jet roar fading, leave in the wind, serene.
Times have changed. Our Gama Goats and Jeeps were were rigged for the drop down the center of the C-130 and we were setting along the side.
Hooah! B co 307th Engr 82nd Abn 84 to 87.
Look at how chill they all are about it. It's like it's boring!
So badass
America's Best!
C'est magnifique
What are they feeling for at the door before jump?? So amazing watching this.
For anything that could snag or cut the static line (yellow cord)
Chris Hammond oh......thank you.
🎁🎁 ke bestias ,,equipandose dentro del propio avion 👏👏💙
Can't wait for jump school after AIT
The smell of oil and aviation exhaust filled the air, along with who knows what else?
"I wanna be a Airborne Ranger
I wanna live the life of danger"
So many good memories of my old Army days. The women. Lawd! The women I miss the most. The stories I can tell. Smh! Lol!
1976-1991
Joe Joe Blackman Well let's hear some!
Airborne all the way!
what is name of this DZ,the only sand i blasted on was brown and german soil.
Nothing like in-flight rigging...
Why don’t they use the regular smaller parachutes?
Marine jumpmaster from 82 airborne JM school.
Remember those inflight riggings. Alittle tight spaces.
Cool!!
Only miss it everyday. Strike Hold!
Devil3R All The Way
My HEROS!!
I’m out to the 82nd in 3 weeks when I PCS, never been so excited to do stuff that sucks for a living lmao
iTzLomacc don’t take it for granted and get good at running long distances lol
I'll be seeing you in the sky soon brother.
what is the plane speed when they jump?
Generally 130 or so knots.
In-flight rigging from Bragg to Panama. November '77. "C" Company 1/325 ABN INF. '76-'79.
I was there also. B Co.
Right there with you , I was in B co 1/325 , in flight rigging always sucked.
We dropped in first and then the heavy equipment (Gama Goats and Jeeps) were dropped in.
5:12 that's weird.... look at the tires
The shutter speed of the camera matches the speed of the tires
1/504 HHC Medical Platoon, 1983-84. All The Way, Airborne.
Thank you Gung Ho for this and thank you enormously to our armed forces especially the 82nd who are my favorite division. Just need some advice from someone who knows the FT. Bragg area I will be journeying there in June and need to know where to stay where I can avoid staying in Fayetteville (Sic?) which is supposedly a very dangerous and scary place. I have never been to North Carolina plus this is my first big venture abroad from New Jersey. No need for laborious details just some information on what town that's safer and nicer is in close proximity. I owe this vacation not just to myself, but to you. Facing head on new challenges is what life is all about. Also I'd like to mention I'm working on a bunch of songs for our troops and our nation. We've gotta be strong. Be strong and don't ever give up.
+Benjamin Blake Mitchner Just don't go if it it scares you. Stay home.
+Gung Ho Vids Found some good places to stay. I wouldn't miss this for the world, but thank you for your concern.
Benjamin Blake Mitchner Stay safe bud.
Gung Ho Vids
Thank you, buddy. My health is so bad I've had to postpone the trip to later also the timing of early June was explained to me to not be so good so hopefully summer vacation in July or August. Stay safe too.
Damn i cant wait to be like the small guy at front, jumping to hook up
Dont mess with those mushrooms from the sky.
Thank you for your service brave men and women soldiers..
I remember this jump and the XO for 407th was in the front the same guy trying to hook up.
Wasn't the 407th the parachute rigger outfit, I was in it 74-77
In time of war a jump would they take the time to check the door like that?
With flak etc?
Yes. You need to know where you're landing.
@@scottywalker2605 It isn't really to check the landing area, more so to make sure the space beside the plane is clear to ensure paratroopers don't snag as they jump. No one likes a towed jumper.
How I’m the world do you make a jump with all that equipment on?
With one leg first.
Okay!!!
That was my bird!
Grange DZ?
Did anyone know Staff Sargent Martin Douglas Strand?
Airborne. Death from above.
i was 18 a skinny kid me and 2 friends joined para troopers in recruiting office be cause they had nice uniforms pt in basic training at ft jackson s c was tough then on to jump school at benning in ga.
I ask myself why couldn't i have been made like them 78 now 21 1962 air foce nothing like todays air force!
505th PIR 🪂 HMINUS 12-16
I jumped 12 time at 1996
낙하산을 비행기 안에서 주네. 넓어서 그런가보다~ 편하게 강하하네.
i know nothing about aerodynamics but if both doors are open how is it stable inside?
A late response. The cabin is hot pressurized so when the doors open the is no change in preasure. Also the aircraft was designed with a baffle forward of the doors to reduce air turbulence.
C130s using T-10 parachute. Airborne
What are they carrying in those big bottom front bags?
It's their rucks, filled with whatever packing list they were given prior to the jump.
their nuts because they are too much bigger than yours
Kit
Pohgie bate 😂😲☻🐵
i was in 187th korean war i remember 4 jumps the rest were routine my first my last an 2 on my 19 th birthday 1952-55 i had 24 jumps total out on a hardship dad died car accident
AATW!!
3:52 Airborne!
GOD ＢＬＥＳＳ ＡＭＥＲＩＣＡ
Looks familiar
Wow! I would have loved to jumped a big ass sand drop zone like this. Doesn't compare to Sicily or Camp Blanding Florida. That is if I landed in the sand DZ. I sucked at Sicily and Camp Blanding which I ended up in the fucking trees.
