I was 18 at the time and I never forgot my first jump it was a thrill of a lifetime. Paratroopers are a breed apart something you never forget. Out of sight and out of mind
I was a jump Mater in 1969, not a lot has changed since then except for the aircraft. Airborne! At the end of my career I had 488 jumps. My first jump was at FT. Benning from a C-119.
You guys have no idea the training these paratroopers got put under To even be able to call themselves that. Some didn't make the cut and these are those who made it. These are the best. These are the best troops out of any military branch in my opinion. They literally jump into hell , catastrophic war zones and such surrounded taking fire while parachuting and come out On top. Salute to these men and women.
Then respect goes out to you both. Sorry i didn't believe you. I'm just going off of what personal friends were telling me in the 101st and the 75th ranger regiment. They said it was tough but maybe you guys were better prepared. I'm getting sworn in pretty soon.
Haha... Exactly bro.... Every time C130H doors was opening,we were saying "devil's coming"... That sound still hounding me... But the feeling when you are all alone on the air ,is something that can't taste everyone
Current paratrooper in the 82nd here, so awesome to read the support in these comments. Just showed my parents this is what I do when I jump. Thanks y’all.
God, that was such a long time ago. October, 1976 for Jump School and September, 1982 for Jumpmaster School. Still had T10 parachute and steel pots. Lol.
That last shot, "The Angel Of Death Descends". If your on our good side, its the best sight ever, if your a foe, it's the worse view you will ever see!!
I did my first Jump in 1966. It was the ultimate thrill. Not the ultimate experience; that belongs to the CIBs. My oldest did a tandem jump. Good on him. Nothing though like being in a C-130 with 64 brothers.
Ahhhh, the memories........ HHC 2/504th Abn Inf Bn Medic 1973 - 1976 Ft. Bragg I remember coming home 🏡 on leave with my Class A uniform on, spit shined paratrooper boots, silver wings on my chest. Everybody’s looking at you in the plane ✈️ and greeting you. Yeah 😎.......... I’m glad I was part of that. Airborne..... All the way.
Back in 1966 when I was in jump school the classes were a lot smaller. So were the planes, C119 ratteling and rolling, you had to shuffle to the door. The airborne shuffle has gone by the way side, now they just walk out like exiting a bus. Still looks like a rush....
So this is what my brother went through. Army. Jump school at Georgia. Stationed at Fort Bragg. Later joined the Navy. Dive School. Of course, he gave all that up when turned 40. "That stuff is young folks. I'm pushing pencils now ". 😂
I long for the good old days, getting up at 0300, coffee but avoiding chow, going to Pope, waiting on the tarmac for hours with chutes and gear on, waiting, finally boarding aircraft, waiting, taking off, flying around for maybe an hour, one guy who had breakfast vomiting, then another, another, and another. There's something about the stench of commit that causes sympathetic vomiting even among those who didn't have breakfast, me included. I couldn't wait to get out of the plane. I wanted to treat a joke in the side of the plane and Dave myself. Finally the jump command sequence, waiting, and finally out the door where I could breathe. A brief ride down and touchdown on Terra firma. Bag the gear, walk to trucks, waiting, drive back to Bragg and home, sandwich lunch, waiting, debrief, prepare for inspection, waiting, inspection, waiting, work formation, go to motor pool, yep, it's still here, formation, dismissal. It's an exciting life. What I miss the most is the anticipation of the vomiting. No one can vomit as funny as the guy across from that you told to not have breakfast as his eyes get bigger, his mouth fills up with stomach contents, his face became red, refer, his eyes bulged. You can't hold back partially digested food that wants to get out of your stomach, and then, bwaahargh, bwaahargh, bwaahargh. I'm laughing right now.
I've served Greek army as a paratrooper at '93-'94.... I can understand their phycology on their first jump.... Especially the guy standing at the door... I've been there multiple times... A bit sense of fear but the view is extraordinary... God be with you guys and good landings
Not gonna lie the visceral feeling i had watching this was there man Hahaha. I have a feeling that second you pull your shute you're like "eh, that wasn't so bad" though
Former infantry paratrooper jumped in to combat over panama with the rangers in December 1989. Holy shit combat was a big scary change from training. Rock on you all!
Well, I was a 19D Cav Scout, so I have no idea what military jumping is like. But I did 7 sport jumps many years ago and for me, comparatively, the first jump was easier because you didn't know what the initial feeling of having the bottom fall out, so to speak, and having your stomach go in your throat, as they say. Others mileage may vary, but that was my experience.
I could be wrong but when paratroopers drop into battle it is often only at a few thousand feet! sometimes less! you don't want to be a solider floating down on a chute nice and slow for very long you are just an easy target! sky diving I belive its a bit higher up their!!
@@stankinsteinfrankfurter9005 That is true. But I'm speaking of the initial feeling just out the door. And while all of my experience was civilian, it was also all static line jumping. Kind of a popular way for newbies or others just trying it out once to go back in the 80s. Oh, and for those that are going to do it either way, for both men and women, believe the instructors when they tell you that you want your harness nice and snug, especially in the crotch area.
@Paul Bradbury But of the jumping itself were you more or less anxious about that initial feeling you knew you were going to experience going out the door? I mean, not that it was horrendous or anything, but just that initial generalized stomach in the throat type feeling that was not something to look forward to. That was my experience in civilian static line jumping many years ago. I didn't realize how profound that feeling would be for me the first time so there was no trepidation about it. But in subsequent jumps, realizing it was coming, however briefly.... well, I don't know if "anxiety" would be the right word. Probably not. It wasn't any kind of fear thing. it was more like, "Shit, I'm not going to like this part, but the rest is fun so I have to put up with it".

Was on post for my third tour when that Major's chute didn't open after he jumped from a Huey down to the jump towers. I never could understand why anyone would want to leave a perfectly good plane in mid flight. As many mountains I've hauled freight over I still don't like being up high but some how flying in a chopper with the doors open and my feet hanging out didn't bother me.

These people are really brave, they do so much to go in the military wow.🪖🎖️ Wish them the best, Hope everything goes well for all these people training all day everyday.
God bless all these brave TRUE AMERICAN HEROES!! I was so blessed to have met and helped a young Sergeant paratrooper from FortBragg Dec the 20 of 2019 when he brokedown enroute to his family for Christmas leave. He was so humble and thankful for all the help he got!! This was the most Inspiring event to ever happen to me in my lifetime!! We pray everyday for SGT HENDRICKS AND ALL HIS MEN BY HIS SIDE!!we love God our totally awesome badass hero soldiers and especially Donald J Trump in Marion Nc!!
As a paratrooper from 69-71 what's bone spur chicken trump got to do with it???? He bought his way out of becoming a name on the Vietnam War memorial, I bet he never even went near the wall while he was president. Worst one we Ever had.
After all the ground trainings then when it’s time for FIRST jump...it was somewhat scared..., the day jumps then night jumps then it get used to... great feeling.... very best of good training system human can get
My step father always said jumpschool was harder than basic. That was 1987. I can only imagine what implements have been made since. Must be some insane shit.
Knees in the breeze ass in the blast that's the way we do it in Division & some Airborne troopers make a night jump in the day time because there eyes 👀are closed Lol😂!!!🤠🤔💪👍🍻💯
Jumping is fun! However, think of the longest line that you have seen at a roller coaster....now triple it and that’s how long you have to wait in order to get 5 minutes of pure adrenaline rush😂

One has to wonder what the anxiety level on that first jump must have been like.
Well, I was a 19D Cav Scout, so I have no idea what military jumping is like.

Much respect to you and all of our brave men and women in the military.
I could be wrong but when paratroopers drop into battle it is often only at a few thousand feet! sometimes less! you don't want to be a solider floating down on a chute nice and slow for very long you are just an easy target! sky diving I belive its a bit higher up their!!

Served with Division Artillery (1st year was with 1/320th AFAR until reorg.) then (Battery B 2/319th AFAR) from 83-87 in support of the 2/325TH . Loved every second of it!

These people are really brave, they do so much to go in the military wow.🪖🎖️ Wish them the best, Hope everything goes well for all these people training all day everyday.
God bless all these brave TRUE AMERICAN HEROES!! I was so blessed to have met and helped a young Sergeant paratrooper from FortBragg Dec the 20 of 2019 when he brokedown enroute to his family for Christmas leave. He was so humble and thankful for all the help he got!! This was the most Inspiring event to ever happen to me in my lifetime!! We pray everyday for SGT HENDRICKS AND ALL HIS MEN BY HIS SIDE!!we love God our totally awesome badass hero soldiers and especially Donald J Trump in Marion Nc!!
As a paratrooper from 69-71 what's bone spur chicken trump got to do with it???? He bought his way out of becoming a name on the Vietnam War memorial, I bet he never even went near the wall while he was president. Worst one we Ever had.
I was a Parachute Rigger and this makes me Proud!
Were you 82nd airborne and what years in rigger outfit, I was 407th rigger 74-77
After all the ground trainings then when it’s time for FIRST jump...it was somewhat scared..., the day jumps then night jumps then it get used to... great feeling.... very best of good training system human can get
My step father always said jumpschool was harder than basic. That was 1987. I can only imagine what implements have been made since. Must be some insane shit.
Yeah...they have "Dumbed it Down" so anyone can make it now...that wouldn't be "Fair"....We wouldn't want anyone to be Excluded would we Comrades?
Utmost respect for our troops. G-d Bless our brave young men n women.
GOD BLESS AMERICA, FROM IRANIAN PEOPLE...
Thank you for your service.
Knees in the breeze ass in the blast that's the way we do it in Division & some Airborne troopers make a night jump in the day time because there eyes 👀are closed Lol😂!!!🤠🤔💪👍🍻💯

Bruh that plane has more room than a school hallway
C17 for the win. I still haven't jumped out of a C130. Only C17
Jumping is fun! However, think of the longest line that you have seen at a roller coaster....now triple it and that’s how long you have to wait in order to get 5 minutes of pure adrenaline rush😂
Greatest army in the world!
having just graduated airborne school, its the worst place on earth.
When I went thru Benning, it was 5 weeks!
Civilians,before you put on the uniform of our nation remember the oath you took and trained to become a warrior representing our nation and remember all those warriors who took their oaths seriously…Doc…🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
Ah good old Fort Bragg,I miss that place!Rigger! That right there was a fun jump no weapon!lol.

Holy shit, it’s crazy to think they do this in a war zone! Brass balls
Why they look like the regular infantry

Tive a honra de servi na Brigada de infantaria Pará-quedista do Brasil.
1981 a 1988. Muito querem, porém pouco conseguem. Ser PQD é sentir o vento das hélice no rosto. Sensação ímpar.
Brasil Acima de Tudo.🇧🇷
