Outstanding!!!! It has been 46 yrs. ago sence I put my knees in the breeze,and I still get the butterflies. Would do it all again. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY.
@@ryanwolfe8578 Biden did. Not the 82d. It government failed. The Biden admin trashed the withdrawal plan in place from the trump admin and closed the military Airfield first (idiotic move). The 82d stayed as long as possible, but had to leave when ordered.
Things have changed a lot. We used to ride the pack tray of the guy in front of us to make sure we all got out especially on a combat equipment jump. A couple of these guys seemed to be waiting for permission or a bus.
I'm with you. Very slow exit. Can't figure out the gaps between jumpers and even hesitation. Several times the JM had to signal the jumpers to keep coming, even though the light was green. Strange. And in the left door, the #1 jumper did not follow the door bundle out. Again, strange... 2/325 1970-72; 5th SFG 1973-1976; 505 & 4/325 1984-1989; XVIII Corps HQ 1991-1996.
I've jumped plenty but never at night. There must be additional adrenalin pumping and a little faith that there are no rivers, trees, buildings, electrical pylons, other aircraft, other jumpers etc to foul up your mission. Good work Airborne.
I'm old school 82nd (2/504), all my fixed wing jumps were C-130 & C-141. Is that a jump from a C-17? That plane is freaking huge. I remember the Air Force crew having to walk across the rucks on our thighs to move through the plane. I guess times have changed. Strike Hold!
I was in the 82nd 1966, 1967. C119, C130 and HUEY. The C119 was nothing but a bucket of bolts held together by the crew chief with a wrench. The doors were way to the rear, we flew with the doors open, great views.
The C-141 used to be the big boy. I was surprised to see no chopper jumps, I had 10 or 12 jumps from a Chinook and 1 from a Huey in Recondo School. Former 3/325, back when a brigade had 3 battalions of Infantry.
82nd 1-325 (2015-2019). Half of my jumps were c130 and half were C17. Would always get excited when we found out which bird we were going to be on. The c17 is like a Hilton with wings compared to the c130😂.
You got that right, Sam. I've got 197 jumps, static line and military free-fall, most at night, combat equipment, some as low as 800'. 17 years on jump status. I'm now 73 years old and have had arthroscopic surgery on both knees. Now in 2022 facing a right knee replacement. Ankles are so "loose" and subject to rolling under that I have VA disability for that. One shoulder is damaged from a landing on a concrete runway back in 1985 or so. Caused arthritis over the years and now in 2022 facing a replacement for that, too. When you are in your late teens and twenties, you don't consider the long-term implications of military jumping. Hey, when you're young you know you are bullet-proof and will live forever! Airborne, all the way!
What if your wheels up and its 8 hours or more to the destination??... Do you still have to wear all that gear and just sit there? what about bathroom breaks?
You would rig while in flight. For example, in 1987 we had a 4-hour flight from Pope to Gatun DZ in Panama. Started rigging-up about one hour from time-over-target. Later that year, we had a three-hour flight from Pope to Fort Drum (obviously not a direct route) that included in-flight refueling from tankers. Again, we started rigging-up about an hour from drop time.
Our Lord Jesus has commanded His angelic soldiers to execute His plan for rescue of His children, blessed are those leaping fearlessly into darkness to defeat evil with The Light of Christ and The Holy Spirit, our dear Father in Heaven watch over them with Your Love. Amen. Thank you, good service members & leaders, for everything you're doing for Goodness around the world for a better tomorrow.
Blasphemous, how can you so gleefully encourage others to forego their place in heaven by subsuming their humanity to murder, invasion and bloodshed. I'm certain the commandments state the opposite of everything you stand for and thus you should pray for your soul and others, not beat the drums as the gates of hell open for them.
They jump with them in there rucks unless there the rto I’m the rto in my company and I jump with my plate carrier on because having coms when u hit the ground is really important so it needs to available right away but other than me and the pl everyone else jumps with there carriers in there ruck and they put it on when they hit the ground
@@FD1CE exactly, i guess privileged ppl who dont live near the epicenter of Covid19 deaths and see their loved ones go just wont understand how ppl are trying to take all the precautions just to stay alive.
I can't help but wonder that if you are willing to jump out of a plane to go get shot at by the enemy, why are you wearing a silly piece of cloth over your face?
Something bout paratroopers, you can never have too many of them.

It has been 46 years ago since I was in the 82nd. What unit were you in.
It’s been 38 years for me brother, but I’d give up everything I own to put a star on my CIB fighting those commie bastards.
I was a 82nd airborne rigger from 74-77, heavy air drop platoon
My dad was WWll 82nd airborne. Made all 4 jumps. Miss you dad.
ALL THE WAY! I miss this so much...
As do I, brother....nothing quite like those early morning jumps, just as the sun peaks the horizon...

I agree, that was slow and some of those gaps were embarrassing. Maybe that’s how POGs do it!! 2/325 ‘90-92

82th? Lol

Night is when we do our Job.
Never at night? That's what true paratroopers do, bro.
@@parawill7074 cuz he's a parachutist...not a paratrooper.
The ONLY time we jumped during the day was Airborne school... every other jump I ever did was at night. Strike Hold 3/504th
Can't be afraid of heights if you can't see it!
Really brave jumping out with all that gear in pitch black
I'm old school 82nd (2/504), all my fixed wing jumps were C-130 & C-141.

@@tomuss2082 The C-119 always looked like a cool jump to me. I jumped a Huey in Recondo School, 7 second count before the chute deployed.

My husband was in the 82nd Airborne. Thanks for letting us see what it was like.
Into the wild blue yonder.
my life my daily life my passion I love this life Vive US ARMY💪🏾🇺🇸
Good jump. Follow the Airborne. Former 82nd 1st 505th. 👍🇺🇸
@Alex Took Correct
Good rhythm and spacing. Safety didn’t get bogged down.
Man I miss this!
Airborne ATW! Death From Above! Strike Hold!☠️♠️
I saw some great mustaches in that jump.
Jumping during the day takes guts..Jumping at night is insanity!!!😱
no...its called Wednesday.
that's why they call it death from above!!!
In-flight rig with combat equipment is the ONLY way to go!
Can‘t believe my son is part of this great team. He even was a scared kid😂
I miss the days I spent pretending to be a lawn dart. All The Way!!
these procedures are pretty cool, outward personnel stand up
It’s Outboard personnel stand up. Become a Paratrooper and you can learn everything properly.
powerful U.S. military👍💪💪💪

Ahhh yes shoulder and lat day.
Hooah, great shit !
And that's out standing
The fact these guys spend 70 hours a week in the military mode boggles the mind.
Show 👏 👏 👏
I have less than a month until graduation. When that happens, 82nd airborne here I come
Are you at osut??
Army, your door!
I love this video
We did night jumps back in 75....moonless night are worst ones
Amen to that brother, I was 82nd 74-77, several night jumps, can't see crap without some moonlight
82nd ALL THE WAY
Landed better than I should have with all the twists I had
talk about changing times, back in the 80s half the stick would be chain smoking while sitting there waiting for AIC to start.
That's so cool. I'm going to be a special force. 수송기가 이렇게 크군요....ㅎㄷㄷ
NICE to see REAL rucksacks with some weight ! ! LOL No party jump.
Very Very 👍👍
ParaQued.1983 a 1987 .Tancos x BOTP 1.
You don't have much time to consider your options...
Going get some of that
Nice Symulator
Night jumps are real, just can not get good videos outside.
I'm not halfway through already most awe inspiring military action I've ever seen. I almost feel sorry for the enemy!
Never in my life will I do static line. Yall crazy bastards can keep that one. I like my legs in their current serviceable condition.

You guys sure you brought enough gear?
Absolutely SUCKS to be stuck behind a Waddler..!!!
Safely walk to the door hook up and wait on the green light to get some !!!
AATW!

Sometimes it was just tough break with comfort and bathroom breaks, but you learn to accept it as part of being an Airborne Infantryman.

Please tell me they weren't wearing masks.

Those stupid masks...🤣 Yes! Charlie Co 3/325 82nd Abn Division here saying "that." ---
Great.. Fly down....
The new airborne of today looks weak. Pathetic. Nothing like the old days.
So sad to see mandatory masks
They’re just masks, who cares lol
Real sadness comes when you lose someone dear to you :( (I hope it doesn't happen but you know..)
