@oJKBo Dude, you are annoying. I heard this from another skydiver at my drop zone and I told him to go fuck off with his patriotic bull shit.
This is a show and the flag is so fucking huge and it is dangling from his feet. How the fuck do you expect him to hold it up?! Both of his hands are steering the chutes. You want him to hold it up with his mouth?
@oJKBo You know nothing about skydiving. Shut the fuck up with your patriotic bullshit.
It's a show. The huge flag is for visual, visual, and visual! Once the flag touches down there is a support team to immediately lift up the flag and properly fold it.
So.... Do me and the rest of youtube a favor and STFU with your BS.
@nipzilla lol i know nothing about skydiving? yeah lol the closest ive come to skydiving has been watching band of brothers rofl youre a fucking retard. They depart the plane knowing full well the flag will touch the ground. u mad bro?
Very cool. The Golden Knights are amazing. Just posted video of my jump with them during a story on Inside Edition! I didn't get the cool smoke trail though! haha
Sorry, but even having MFF ("halo school") alone isn't going to cut it. You are going to be assessed alongside with jumpers who have both military jumping AND (a lot of) civilian skydiving experience with emphasis on RW. If being a GK is your goal, you are going to have to take outside initiative on your own as well. Like I said, get your USPA license first and then learn RW. After a few hundred dives, you might be ready for an assessment.
Do AFF through your local civilian DZ and work towards your "A" license. Then jump whenever you can. Even after you get your "A", continue to pay for coached dives to learn RW. The military isn't going to "pave the way" for you. I guarantee every one of the GK's were selected primarily on their civilian skydiving background, not military jumping (even MFF) background. In short, yes, you are going to have to pay for it.
...and, as also already said, keep your nose clean.
SGT EWALD!! I remember him from my 50th skydive (see video response). He filmed me. Right now I'm thinking about getting back in the army to fly...hopefully with the Golden Knights. Any officers on the team?
My Father was a proud Gloden Knight! Im so happy to see so many sharing his passion! When I was a little girl I remember going to see him jump and being in awe of it all! thanks for posting this!
Sweet video! I'm from Michigan and saw the Golden Knights at our Hangar Dance and air show at Selfridge ANGB July 2007! Became buddies with Will Fleming and Marc Owens! Went to dinner with them and had a great time! What an amazing group of talented guys! They all rock! Marc, "moms" says hi and so does Krystle! lol Love you Will and Marc! Courtney :)
I dated a Golden Knight in the 80's......Todd Lorenzo... Hope he is doing well....Tonya form League City Tx

Dear Golden Knights:
Stop jumping with the flag, it ends up being dragged across the ground when you land.

You need at least 150 free fall jumps, have a spotless military and civilian record, and be willing to go to Airborne (which obviously you are).
Then apply for the annual Assessment and Selection program at Ft. Bragg
