Trust me as a former Marine who went through Army Jump School. Marines will never conduct an airfield seizure by parachuting in. The Army Rangers might, but not the Marines. Airfield seizures are a complex operations that takes continuous training and close coordination with supporting arms. Simply going through the Army's Jump School is not nearly enough. There are Marines who need specialized jump training such as ANCLICO (Air Naval Gunfire Liaison Company) to call in air and naval gunfire support for operations. But it is a very small community. And there are Marine Recon units who need specialized jump training. But beyond that, there are Marine companies who are trained in raiding tactics for hostage rescue or the evacuation of Embassies or other diplomatic facilities. But they only use helicopters or CV-22's. In the 1980's I was the class honor man in the Marine Corps' Amphibious Warfare School (AWS) and I and 3 other top graduates were given the opportunity to attend the Army's jump school. We were the only Marines in that class and so I don't believe the Marine Corps considers parachute training necessary except for ANCLICO and Recon units. In other words, the Marine Corps does not have any capability to deploy large numbers of airborne troops for combat operations. The Army can deploy the 82nd Division, the Ranger Regiment, and other airborne qualified combat units, but the Marines can only deploy a few ANGLICO and Recon Marines by parachute and most often by helicopter. I used to sky dive and I did my three jumps at the Army jump school. I enjoyed both, but the Marine Corps never intended me to be trained to jump in with a qualified unit of airborne trained Marines. Sheer nonsense. The Marine Corps has no large scale airborne capabilities with regard to parachuting.
They would be jumping a lot lower to the ground if they are in any sort of offensive action. When the Rangers jumped into Panama, the 82 jumped in pathfinder and engineers a few hours before to blow the trees down on the assigned drop zone before the main body of the attack arrived. They jumped at 550 feet AGL and didn't bother with a reserve parachute, instead rigging more ammunition and detcord. They pallatized the shock tube, C4 and blasting caps.
My Late Brother was a Paratrooper when he was with the 82nd AB. I'm a Vietnam Veteran(PhuBai66). While home on leave once, He asked me if I would Jump ! I responded with a definite "Yes", If the Aircraft was on Fire !
Do I think that I could jump.....? Hell yes, been there done that back in the early 1970's, jumping the old T-10 chutes. Not very manuverable and can be problematic during large unit jumps. Still the greatest thrill one can have with your pants on...LOL.
One of the reasons why I preferred helicopter jumps. Sit on the edge of the open doorway, push off when the jumpmaster says GO! No pushing or shoving, nobody stepping on your ankles, Lot less likely to have a static line injury from a bad exit, no wasting time while the pilot flies around in circles getting his required flight hours.
When I was in during the mid to late 80's jump rated Marines were known as ANGLICO Marines. Took me a while to remember the name, we had a Sgt. transferred to my unit that wore the jump wings on his uniform. I think I remember him saying you had to make at least 5 jumps to earn the wings.
When you first start jumping , you do need to overcome fear , it's only natural . But you soon find out that landing safely and realizing you overcame & worked through your fear leaves you with an incredible feeling of accomplishment and confidence .. You do get accustomed to landing safely , yet the feeling of kicking fears butt never completely goes away .. The most gratifying sport I was ever involved in ever . Too old and broken up to jump anymore , hahahahaha . Old man time catches us all eventually. P.S. - Don't sell yourself short @antm64, you can do much more than think you can when you become confident in your training . Enjoy your day , and God bless
I always found it easier when l just followed the guy in front of me, don't focus on the fear just concentrate on your feet get to the door and yippee!!!
I'm a farmer Army paratrooper staff sargean 11th Airborne from the 50s. I have never heard ard knew anyone who worry about a static line jump. The reason for a static line jump is in combat you jump at low altitude 500 to 800 ft Carrying equipment like a GP bags full of everthing they will need in combat .Paratroopers usually jump behind the line and need to rely on there selves and there comrades . I don't know ware you are getting your info from .
I made over 30 jumps in 101st and Special Forces--all static line. I never gave it a second thought. What I did think about was my reserve shoot as I went through my 1 to 3 count.
Rule 1: Marines are not Paratroopers they may be Airborne qualified but you HAVE TO be assigned to a Paratrooper Division and earn the RIGHT to wear the MAROON BERET! Marines are legs...so deal with the reality please. You may earn the jump wings, you have to be ASSIGNED to an Airborne unit! I know....so to my Marine Brothers and Sisters...AATW BABY!!
This is the US Army's 82nd Airborne not the US Marines. In fact the US Marines don't have "Paratroopers". That's an Army term. There are a few Marines that are jump qualified but the Marines still call them Marines. The Army, by far, out numbers all other jump qualified services.
Obviously prejudice for the Jar Heads by avoiding the army.As a former 173rd Sky Soldier I have never been disoriented upon exit from any aircraft. Our greatest fear is injury whic was not mentioned.It's a Blast,literally! The script was written by a LEG.
I disagree, I would have been more afraid that I would hit my head on the tail of the air craft or hit a bird in flight before I could deploy my main cute. If you are coming out the door and you hit something and get knocked out your chute will open, though will most likely be somewhat twisted and will require your immediate action using the bicycle technique to fully deploy the parachute. However, a mostly deployed parachute is much better than no canopy at all.
Man... like you know you keep saying USMC while mostly showing Army Airborne Soliders, not Marines. Aside from that, unless you are in a marine recon unit, or MARSOC its pretty damn uncommon for marines to even get Jump Qualified, when they do, its through the Army Jump school at FT Benning GA. The marine jump school only exist for about 4 years in the 1940s. Meanwhile in the army I've known plenty of people that were jump qualified as like, Admin, or Supply.
What Marines.... Hope my 85 year old brother a ex-Army 101st Airborne Screaming Eagle does not hear this, then again myself ex-Navy VietNam vet had seen lot of Marine's recognition for first on the beach to fight, but Navy brought them there, then we were to first to the girls on the beach!
So what War were they successful in , as it wasn't, Vietnam ( 20 Years ) Afghanistan ( 20 Years) Syria IRAQ. Somalia Can someone please explain what War the USA actually won , outside of its own borders .
@Jeffrey Hutchins The USA has bever won a war outside of the USA. Lost every war Two years late in ww2 Korean war Lost Vietnam and Afghanistan was a total disaster 58.000 Kilked in Vietnam and after 20 years left defeated same In Afghanistan

The commentator needs instructed on recognizing Army paratroopers. Hilarious video. And yes I am a former Army paratrooper. 173 Airborne.
These are soldiers, not marines
@Metaverse Reality World short lived? We still train them At Benning. It's called forced recon.

Those were Army paratroopers from the 82nd Airborne Division, not Marines.
I see 82nd and 101st ( US ARMY) Airborne patches in this video. AIRBORNE all the way!
My Late Brother was a Paratrooper when he was with the 82nd AB. I'm a Vietnam Veteran(PhuBai66). While home on leave once, He asked me if I would Jump ! I responded with a definite "Yes", If the Aircraft was on Fire !
If given the choice between PhuBai and stateside Airborne, Airborne would’ve been the safer choice.
Do I think that I could jump.....?
Hell yes, been there done that back in the early 1970's, jumping the old T-10 chutes. Not very manuverable and can be problematic during large unit jumps.

The last part was funny, "Could you jump as a paratrooper" I was in the 82nd for 3 years, LOL Good video though.

UH-1 i didn't like the landing skid, CH-47 was my fav until the crash hawk no landing skid. and no cattle car ride over to McChord AFB.
We don't hate it. We live for it. That's why we are there. Airborne, because even marines need someone to look up to.
AATW !!!
Only two things fall out of the sky. Bird crap and rain.
@@jeffreyhutchins6527And real men!!!🤡
That's why they have US! 1st ANGLICO 79-82.
Absolutely 💯 PERCENT CORRECT!! Bco 3rd Bn 325th Infantry 82nd Airborne division. AATW Brother!!
@@jeffreyhutchins6527and Paratroopers!!
So who told you we fear static line jumps?
😆 "Paratroopers fear static-line jumps." 😆
"It's Monday." Paratroopers

Been there and done that. Did that in 1968.
Anyone jumping out of a plane is overcoming a gigantic amount of fear! No way could I do this! AMAZING!

Jumping out over enemy territory is terryfying, not jumping in itself.
super drill - hats off 🎄🌲🌷🌹⚘🍁❤🧡👍🙏
These aren’t just soldiers, they are Americas Guard of Honor, the US Army’s 82nd Airborne Division
In practice jumps, there wouldn't be any AA guns shooting at your airplane. No searchlights, no fighters trying to shoot you down, etc. etc.
Did any of you notice the solder at 0:50? Did he actually stop and object to being tossed out of the plane? 🤣
That could of been the start of a new stick. It more looked like he was communicating with the JM before jumping
Lies!
Static line jumps are a cake walk.
your credibility went down the bowl when you misidentified those Soldiers as being our Brothers in arms ... the Marines. do better.

What if you have to go to the bathroom while on the plane?

So, you obviously didn't see the Marines in the marine pattern with their parachutes on?....😶😶😶😶.
Did a civilian make this video?
I'm absolutely certain that if needed everything possible would be achieved.
Uh, because there jumping from thousands of feet in the air maybe? Derr
That was stupid, why did he keep saying marines
Sad to see our heroes wearing ridiculous masks.
Total nonsense 😂 “lack of control blah blah”… that big bag on their chest is a spare chute
So what War were they successful in , as it wasn't, Vietnam ( 20 Years )
Afghanistan ( 20 Years)
Syria
IRAQ.
Somalia
Can someone please explain what War the USA actually won , outside of its own borders .
So you just gonna start history in 1962 eh? Mayhap you need to look a bit deeper. I'll give you one hint. 1941-1945...okay Bonus 1898
@Jeffrey Hutchins
The USA has bever won a war outside of the USA.
Lost every war
Two years late in ww2
Korean war Lost
Vietnam and Afghanistan was a total disaster 58.000 Kilked in Vietnam and after 20 years left defeated same In Afghanistan
USA did Not win WW2!!!
