    I came across your overview this morning and clicked to watch. Enjoyed it very much. I did jump school at Scholefield Barracks in Hawaii in 1966, when I was in the Marine Corps. Our ground week was 8 days long, and then 5 jump days. Our instructors were part of a Recon outfit stationed at Pearl Harbor. It was hard, but when you jumped out of that plane, it became the absolutely coolest thing on earth! thanks for the memories!

    I really love seeing jump training in action. It hasn’t changed a whole lot. Went through airborne training many years ago. What I remember as an aviator was the different aircraft mostly c141’s and c130’s. Jumped with the Colorado NG, UH1’s, and CH47’s. The Chinook was the first aircraft I leaped out of because of the sheer noise. The relief was exiting the chopper for quiet. Learning this skill was amazing.

Of off the skids from blackhawks even one off a left over Huey. Even did one with the ROK soldiers in South Korea. A six man stick out of a gondola from a hot air balloon. Yes I miss those days.

      Must say it opens ones eyes and lets one push it to the limit at times , Its not for ever one and that's OK for full combat erumpent jumps at night like the first jump in airborne school are things you remember along with fear as well.
      Cant thank of a better group of guys but then those with Grit and honor are all around us some as police some as Fire and rescue and some as mothers and fathers back home.

    Glad to see they changed the procedure for jumping with hands on the door as you jump up an out. I got a static line injury once from a low running line came up to my armpit as I jumped it flung my arm up and ripped my bicep in half. Prolly a lot less injuries now days

      Happened to me on a C119. The guy in front of me pulled the line down, it went under his arm and across his neck. I got it across the neck and was outside the aircraft hanging ( passed out) until someone behind me knocked me free. He was caught under the reserve of chute and had to be pulled in. I came to on the ground. Another jumper actually got a photo of me hanging limp in the air. I still have that photo as well as the one of my neck. The jump master was busted down for the incident. Still love having been in the 82nd.

    I grew up outside Fort Bragg, my father was stationed there back in the 70s. I still remember heading out to North Sicily to sit in the stands there and watch the static line drops, sometimes there were HALO drops. They used to publish the drop schedules in the Fayetteville Observer back then. Back then they dropped out of C-141s most of the time, C-17 wasn't a thing yet. I flew on a few C-141s and C-130s during my active duty time, preferred the C-141s because of the faster flight time.
