Most of the "students" are working their way through the pipeline of Special Forces training. They're in fantastic shape, and as many times as I've watched this video I cannot get over how young they look. Of course when I served in the Army, I was that young too, but I wasn't crazy enough to do anything like this! I wish them all the good fortune in the world; they're going to need it!
I love to look back at this stuff, went through in 1989 and advanced in 1990. My instructor for both basic and advanced was a legend who died doing what he loved. RIP Frank Norbury 1st SFG (A)
Thank you for your service. I always wanted to do this. I broke my spine on a static at bragg. How did you like freefall vs static? I’m thinking of getting into actual tandem here in San Diego.
I went through Military Free Fall back in Vietnam in 1970. Frank Nurbery put us through. Man it sure has changed from those days... Before I went through, I took an R&R to Australia and did some Free Falls there. I needed to get back in shape and mentally fit to do it again... While in Nam, I jumped with the best. Billy Waugh, Verlin R. Glenn, D-8.... I started jumping in 1964 with Sky Hi Pioneers, out of Phoenix, AZ . At 73, I still jump from time to time... I love it
Would love to do that. Started jumping in 1963 as a paratrooper with the 101st. Airborne. Went on to skydiving in 1966. Had my first square in 1970, (Para Plane). Had to quit in 1972 because of my job. Got back into it in 2013 through 1915. Been to 13,500' a couple of times but always wanted to go much higher. Blue Skies to you all.
Never served but AFF is one of the most memorable times of my life. Some of these brave men possibly have mixed emotions about their service but I bet, no I'm certain learning to fly brings a smile to all of their faces when reflecting. Blue Skies! A-79667
HALO stands for High altitude, Low opening. These guys were open by 2500 feet/ The high altitude isn't there either. O2 masks if it were HIGH altitude. All you've got now are pretty uniformss
Looks like you’re uninformed Darryl Lyons. I’ve been to that school. It is very much a halo and Haho jumps. It is impossible to gauge the height of their deoloyments on a go pro. Come on bud, you’re allowed to enjoy the video without uninformed opinions
this looks like a hard school in the beginning. How to skydive, then dive with a pack on, then a weapon, then at night. Probably the most dangerous school.
this is probably the most awesome video on the web right now :D incredible footage keep up the good work and thx for your service (even though I am not American)
When I went through Military Free Fall school it was conducted entirely at Ft Bragg, NC. The problem was rain, rain and more rain. We barely made the minimum number of jumps to get qualified, due to weather cancellations. Great experience anyway!
My battalion commander once gave me the choice of any Army school I wanted. I chose SCUBA, which was great, but after seeing this video, I'm having some regrets!
Everytime the military freefall guys roll up to the drop zone, everyone on the ground walks out to the landing area to observe the carnage that happens on landing. Watched one of those dudes do a somersault on a windless day while trying to land a 210.
great video and lots of training on free falling. they looked like they had more than just their parachutes to me..I might be wrong on that too... and a wonderful job on this too
1:24 reason #1 why i will never jump with any kind of spring loaded main. Launching a PC into a burble makes no sense compared to pull out/throw out PC's being thrown into clean air. Makes me wonder if the military will ever make the transition.
Alex Mitchell Totally! Watching those spring loaded pilot chutes dance around in the burble gave me the heebe-jeebies. Same with body position distortions when reading for rip cords. 😬
I know you didn't make the song, but I like the use of pan distribution, at a certain point the vocals are unfiltered and sound gets kind of clogged. The distribution of the instrument sounds are scattered all over the place and is sort of odd to listen to, but you could say it's creative.
And 78 went over 100 ROTC, Air Force pilots Navy seals officers, I'll thimk a South African A green beret walked in and sat down beside me full gear he will make a jump at the Sun
Are the guys in white suits there to make sure they get their chutes deployed? I've never jumped before but I want to be a PJ. I'd be lying if this shit didn't make me a little nervous.
Those are the trainers, so yes. They're there to ensure everything goes right, not just that the parachute deploys, but that you don't spin out, pass out, etc. According to our trainer who was a CCT, there were individuals who would spin out and couldn't control themselves in the air during freefall, so they couldn't even pull their own shoots.
@@JaredHeuer Yes, they're around you in case anything goes wrong. In case you don't know, before HALO training and freefall training, you go to Ft. Benning for Airborne School. There's a series of 3 videos, starting with, "Fort Benning Airborne School, Week 1." You should watch them. So by the time you make it to Free Fall training, you'll already have a nice amount of experience jumping out of planes. And as a disclaimer, I leave January 2nd to hopefully become a PJ, so whatever I'm telling you isn't from my own experience.
The guys in white suits are the MFF Instructors. They are there to provide one on one assistance to their assigned studs. They are well trained and have a lot of experience and most are active duty military. If you are thinking about the USAF, go CCT
Got learnt by the old man. Then got in front of it; happiness hasn't finished since then. Square away the details and enjoy the rest. Then get busy on the deck.
Exactly. I did it with my cousin last year... And im going back this year. People think im crazy.. I just tell them that for me, it relieves all stress and anxiety by causing the absolute worst stress and anxiety. Lol. Got baby moms problems, jump out a plane. Got ex relationship problems, jump out a plane. Low self-esteem.. Jump out a plane. Bad credit.... Jump out a plane. Why?? Cause all that shit will seem so stupid and little after you land. You feel invincible and appreciate life so much more. I didnt have anxiety for weeks. The view was awesome. 14,000 feet and was my first time on a plane and I jumped out of it with no problems. Lol.
HALO? Aircraft crew members aren’t wearing breathing apparatus? Help me understand why the folks in white have to pull rip cords for jumpers? Thank you
This is mostly the first week of training. HALO jumps were conducted later and not filmed. Instructors are in white and sometimes they pull ripcords of student-jumpers for safety reasons.
Wow... I really really loved that video! And the music was well chosen. For an instructor, the fun starts a second after the student's canopy opens. This is when you speed dive for a few seconds or do a little acrobatics. And you get paid for that! A little less fun when a student spins and hit you with his leg or foot tho.... But hey, that's what the helmet is for! And before some says that if this happens, then you're a bad instructor. Just go do ONE dive then you'll talk. An instructor's primary job is student's safety and sometimes ... well... "if happens". But hey... you may get a free beer for that one, so all in all, it's OK, right ;)
BTW, if you want to have some fun.... attach a whistle to your friend's rig without him knowing it. I can guarantee you some hilarious time! Not to do with a rookie tho ;)
@@twesd308 During the Rhodesian Bush war the Rhodesian SAS jumped into ( not near or close to but INTO ) ZANLA camps . I don;t know what height they deployed at because I was not there but they were under canopy for no more than three of four seconds at the most.
First you must be in a MOS that has a HALO requirement and then get Halo Qualified. once you’ve been on status for a year and have more than 50 jumps you can go to the HALO jump master course. Once you’re a JM you can request or volunteer to be an instructor. After you report to the school house, you will be sent through the instructor course and then be able to instruct students. It’s a tough job. When I went to HALO school. We did 3 jumps a day. My instructor did six. He jumped with me and another student. While I was packing my chute he was jumping with the other guy and vise versus. Good luck to you.

So true, our country is protected by 18-25 year olds on average. Pretty amazing huh
I REMEMBER 1980 SEALS HALO TRAINING WITH THE BLACK HATS AND THE TOWERS
You do realize there is no SF pipeline....those students from SF already are SF qualified and are getting a W-8 identifier
My man was SF, HALO, SCUBA, JM, VVV! Lord have mercy so proud and.. spoke five languages... !

Every now and again you come across a good video where the music is perfect for it, , , , this is one of those gems.
I was a civilian AFFI for 19 years. Those MFF instructors really earn their money.
@@Faicon9493 most definitely

Darryl Lyons it’s a training school. Crawl, walk, run
@Beard Cheese High altitude/low opening.
20000+ feet exit /open lower than 1000 feet

It's not easy. but then if it was, everyone would be doing it. Try a hard pull or 2, at less than 1000 Ft. You get learnt.
@@gilo1303 I’d say basic airborne static line jumping is more dangerous
Wonderful video. Brought back some great memories. Just need some trees out there in the desert to mimic Sicily DZ.
this is probably the most awesome video on the web right now :D
incredible footage
keep up the good work and thx for your service (even though I am not American)
Beautiful.. Nothing more to say. Best warriors this earth ever produced...Will never ever be matched. 🤙
People really wants to fly should try ...HALO ( High Altitude Low Opening) is a very courageous and enjoyable training...

Dude your old!!! Haha, I was in the last class at Bragg
Jose Gomez-Sanchez Yeah,.. 1992. We were jumping the MT1-XX
Awesome video and perfect music. They enjoyed this training. Looking forward to jump freewall this autumn.
My battalion commander once gave me the choice of any Army school I wanted. I chose SCUBA, which was great, but after seeing this video, I'm having some regrets!
I would love to be instructor here, jumping so often from that altitude is dream job.
This video is just beautiful. Music is a perfect match.
Another good reason to make it through selection
โอสขิปนี้ ครูสุดยอดไปเลย ช่วยชีวิตคน ครูเร็วมาก สุดยอดครู ส่งทางอากาศ ฉันเห็น ครูแบบนี้หาได้อยากมาก Hi ครับครู

It looks some dangerous moments on opening, but total jumps are really awsome!!
Thanks for posting. Gives me a good idea of what my kid is up to this month!
@@schmittbox7616 hope they’re having the time of their life!
Damn bag lock....
This school is demanding but damn i had a great time!!!!!
Good halo traning
Good halo military jump
And also good music
To all the instructors it's your teaching these is awesome 😊
My father in law used do train HALO during his time as a PJ.
Boy, I miss jumping. Blue skies
I miss my Airborne Days
HOOAHH
Wow......very good , i like it very much.
That was very cool! Airborne!! Carry on!
great video and lots of training on free falling. they looked like they had more than just their parachutes to me..I might be wrong on that too... and a wonderful job on this too
Man, that looks like a blast! Scary, though, because by the time you reach opening altitude, you've picked up serious momentum!
You can reach terminal speed after about 10 seconds of freefall
That was the coolest video I've watched!!
Looks like a crash AFF course! Lots more involved here, but it’s fun to watch!
Damm I pay all this money outta pocket to skydive for fun. I picked the wrong job in the military
getting paid to skydive...gotta love it
This looks like it’s over my neck of the woods in the imperial valley
They didn't show a night wall locker jump
I miss this moment..airborne brotherhood
I love the montage of shitty/unstable deployments at the end
Simply the best on the topic! well done.. just like if I was there! we want more!
Some sketchy openings xD
Man, to get to do that and get paid for it...what a blast!
being a old timer in grp our Halo Trainng was a bit different then the AFF they teach now at the MFF School

We now use bottom of container chutes for jumps. Same as civilian.

Absolutely awesome I could not do this
I really liked this video!!!

Is this a mix of SF, PJ and SEAL students?
Mostly SF and Air Force CCT & PJ students. I believe SEALs have their own school in San Diego
