It looks like there's a lot of misunderstanding about HALO jumps. I spent my career in U.S. Army Special Forces and have a few hundred HALO and HAHO jumps, so I thought that I'd jump in and try to answer a few questions from that perspective. Loadmasters don't jump, they wear a parachute in case they fall out. HALO jumps are generally, but not always from 12000-36000 feet. Above 15000 we have to use O2. I think that air crew use O2 above 12500. Officers in SOF units can be on HALO status.
@Paradude54 Thanks for helping people understand that real life is not the way Hollywood portrays it. Oh, and aircrew (at least C-130s and C-17s) have to have oxygen at 10K ft + MSL.
@Paradude54 So do loadmasters have to go through jump training then? And they get to jump during the training? I'm getting more and more sure that what I want to do is loadmaster, and even if I don't get to jump hardly ever, I want to do it at least once in my military career. IDK it's just one of those things.
Nope, loadmasters never jump unless there is an emergency bailout or we fall out on accident. We are needed on the plane and jumping would defeat the purpose-we are aircrew and have duties in the air, not on the ground with the Army. During loadmaster training you will practice parachute landings on the ground from like a 10 ft platform. And water landings by going parasailing and detaching yourself from the boat. Thats about it.
@mil5606 Thanks dude! How long have you been a loadmaster? Is it an exciting job? Another thing, is I don't want to be working with stupid people. Is this a job for dummies? Or do you have to be relatively smart to make it past training and stuff?
@Picapacapopo yes you have to be fairly smart. there is a lot of math and a lot of people wash back or flunk out. just a figure for you i started with 12 people and me and 2 other guys finished all the way through without a washback or flunk out so its not a dummies job. and it can be exciting, theres plenty of boring everyday is the same days but theres the fun days too
@mil5606 First, thanks for helping me out with this stuff. I'm joining the AF, and I go to MEPS August 2nd, and I don't want to make any mistakes choosing out jobs. Is SERE teacher a battlefield airman job? And how often are they doing this exciting stuff, like jumping?
@Picapacapopo SERE instructors usually are not on the battlefield (from what I know). I have NEVER met a SERE instructor that didn't love their job. I don't know how often they have to jump, I'm guessing, once every 3-6 months to maintain proficiency and the extra pay. Not all of them are HALO qualified tho. There are limited number of class dates available for HALO training. If you are outdoorsy, then you will/should love the job. Good luck.
@mil5606 These are USAF SERE Specialists, NOT survival specialists, and YES they are on the battlefield, they support Personnel Recovery operations in every AOR
What are their battlefield duties? I know they work at the JPRC and assist with recovery of personnel, but they ARE NOT on the helicopter with the extraction team.
@mil5606 not sure how it works with loadmasters but if i posted something out of a TACP FM i would get into some trouble... I also LOVE everyone telling you how to do your job ;)
HALO stands for High Altitude Low Opening thats why the guy at the door was using oxygen where they will jump from between 25 000 and 30 000 ft and open at about 1 500ft above the ground while when you do normal skydiving you jump from about 12 500ft and open at 3 500ft
Who cares what type of jump it is...those boys are jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. I think their cocks and balls may need another chute because they might be too big for just the one....anyway, HIT THE SILK!
Lets not argue about oxygen or what type of jump it is. What's important is that people are willing to jump out of planes at high altitudes in order to protect us so we can continue to argue with each other on youtube...
Jumping out of a flying aircraft just like that takes balls. Personally I find the concept of jumping out of a perfectly working and intact plane a bit weird, but hell, gravity works as seen on these guys. Their balls of steel bring them down.
Well it is in Air Ops 'parlance' called a 'knees in the breeze' and they could possibly be practicing non contact rel work as they might do at night in full gear, this is done usually after a days 'proper training, All Spec Ops blokes do this to wind down..I did a lot of them
@jake3043 Hop and Pop is a slang term used for these types of jumps. Because anything with "freefall" is considered a HALO jump, the lower altitudes are called Hop and Pops. In the first Gulf War, there was only one CSAR insertion. It was a low altitude freefall jump because the pickup was Aussie SAS. It was a Hop and Pop, but it qualified (And set a record). BTW, the word is heinous. Do your homeworl.
@TheZodiacKiller622 You're entitled to your opinion. Just like the majority of the people that liked it are entitled to theirs. Thanks for adding to my views.
It's a HALO jump. Any jump that doesn't have a static line is consider a HALO jump. The fact that this is a hop & pop is irrelevant. Still a HALO jump.
@milton1872 no a HALO jump is anything above 25.000ft and it as to be low opening and this is defo not a HALO jump because thay dont have oxegen mask on
@hoops814 I guess you better drop the mop and broom at YOUR janitor job, get on the phone to the Pentagon and tell them they are wrong and to re-write their regulations.
@delay275 Yup, gotta love some of the guys in here that obviously studied Wikipedia, instead of actually going through airdrop school....like I did. Thanks for viewing.
HALO my arse, tis just a normal freefall, HALO depends on time at altitude {in the plane} prior to jumping and the hypoixa effects, you can fly around at 15-000 feet for 30 mins and still jump with no mask{O2}, at 17-000 Mil where I come from you pre-breathed O2 for 30 mins prior to boarding going to altitude and jumping.
training jump under 14000 feet dunno why aircrews are required to wear oxygen thats 1 thing i never understood but im former army we never wore it unless above 14grand or we were in a unpressureized aircraft
@simpsonsrules1994 I know what HALO stands for. A jumper jumps at a high altitude and opens his/her chute at a low altitude. Military regs (which I am well versed on) are very specific on what is considered high altitude and what is considered low altitude for chute opening.

whoa whoa whoa whoa hold on, okay, that plane is "one" of your aircraft?!?!?!?!?!???? you have more than one?!?!?!?!?!??????! they cost like 333.2 mil
@laxinitup62 they need the oxygen so the nitrogen is removed from their blood so that when the jump the nitrogen doesn't expand in their blood vain's and kill them
@laxinitup62 Since everybody is giving you the wrong answer.......the aircrew is on oxygen because our regulations state that we have to be on oxygen at 10k ft and above. Its because they take ZERO chances with the people that actually CONTROL the aircraft becoming hypoxic.

Weve done 25k, with masks off, yet, 30 minutes of ground breathing oxygen. Sweat like crazy, yet, hypoxia will dissoriente ya, etc........
Is there a bathroom on a C-17 because I would redundantly like to void my bowels be for doing something like this Diarrhea at falling from 30,000 feet not fun -_-
why didn't you tell me this shit before i jumped in 2002?.lol..just joking man,but i love the vid.next time I will take that shiny new Cam that the wife bought last birthday's fiesta.
@ jnncbuhyc you are a fucking idiot. first of all don't jump into conversations throwing out terms like black ops and tactical CQB pioneer. you sound like a fucking retard if you are going to lie about your military career keep it close to home instead of posting it on peoples youtube videos. i feel sorry for the Americans who believe your line of shit. These poor people who read comments that don"t know any better will think that's the way invasions of countries should be talked about.
I feel kinda stupid asking this question, but I was wondering if women can HALO jump for the Air Force. I'm only 14, but I am really looking into joining the Air Force, and I would LOVE to HALO jump. Could I?
@ilvg612 Not a stupid question at all. In the Air Force the only people that I know that can get HALO school slots are special forces type dudes such as: Combat Controllers, Combat Weather, TAC-P, and maybe Pararescue. Those specialties are all male only. Then you got the SERE guys (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) and they can also get HALO qualified. And that specialty is NOT limited to only males. So if u become a SERE specialist n get lucky enough to get a HALO school slot, then YES.
@ilvg612 other way, is if youre a parachute rigger, just halo qualified riggers can rig halo parachutes, this is how it is in the army, and i believe that the usaf also, im in the 82 airborne division, i am a paratrooper, and i seen couple female riggers from jump school through advanced airborne school over here at ft bragg that got halo wings, also if youre lucky and get assigned here in the army to a special forces groups you could get a halo school slot...
@ilvg612 Most USAF riggers arent even airborne qual'd. I dont think I have met an air force rigger to date that has been through Airborne school...much less HALO. USN, USMC, and Army have a much better deal for their riggers for sure.
@ilvg612... Also another option is Navy. I'm an Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (also known as PR or Parachute Rigger). Navy riggers can also get slots to Airborne school, with a follow on to EOD Rigger school and get orders to Naval Special Warfare Units, EOD units, and a host of other jump billets. Especially if you can get orders to a Naval Special Warfare Unit Group, you can find yourself fast tracked to getting AFF or Accelerated Free Fall school (ie HALO).

@ilvg612 Aerospace Physiologists (male or female) can also go to Military Free Fall, they are the ones who are in the aircraft during very high altitude jumps (taking care of oxygen / equipment / etc...)
@ilvg612 or become a c liscensed civilian skydiver and go up anytime you want to do a halo from upto 24k ft. we also have parachutes you can steer and land as smoothly as stepping off a curb. All you military jumpers are more than welcome to come jump with me and my sky brothers and sisters at "skydive skyranch" in siloam springs arkansas
wait a minute...! THEIR STATIC LINES ARE UNHOOKED!!!!
j/k!
good vid! but for some reason I didn't get any audio, is it my connection or YT doing it's thing again?
oh and quick question, do the jumpers ever get towed by a piece of equipment as the exit or have you witnessed a jumper just tumbling and falling on or of the ramp? if so, what's the Jumpmasters duty?
@mil5606 I'm a skydiver, not a troll. Get your facts straight or get the fuck out of the military. We have enough idiots running the country, we don't need more trying to protect it.
@OneSkiWonder LOL. the troll's tactics backfired. Look who ended up mad. :-) Next time shhhh about stuff you know nothing about and somebody far away on the net wont piss you off and ruin your day. Skydiver regulations and Air Force regulations obviously differ. After looking at copies of the Air Force regs I cut and pasted in the video info section, you'd think a smart troll like yourself would be able to figure that out. But have a nice day sitting at the computer. The rest of us have jobs.
@mil5606 then it isnt a HALO jump and dont tell me im wrong im 101st airborne and also served at 82nd so possibly you should research what halo is before saying something dumb like a halo jump is 10,000 feet
@TheBurritoTaco HALO jumps are almost always Special Forces regardless of branch. Marine Recon, "Green Berets", Rangers, Para-Rescue...it doesn't matter. You have some "normal" paratroopers who have HALO wings and not in SF but it is really hard to get a slot in the school if your not a SF type of paratrooper.
What a view! To stand their looking out of the back like that, like standing on top of the world. I've got tens of static line jumps and was lucky when I got door position here and there. But man, that is the ultimate door position!
It makes me feel a little sad though that I'll never get to do that or even static from a 141 or 130 again. Maybe next lifetime.

@isharktube HALO - High Altitude Low Opening /HAHO High Altitude High Opening
Mil5606 is correct we (Flightdeckcrew) We fly the damm plane dont really want to crash it.
The jumpers on O2 or not depends on their mission parameters and altitude descent profile.
When we use HALO in military jump terminology dont associate O2 to it straight away.
if you are a civilian and do jumping you know the difference coz you always do LALO!!! Low Altitude Low Opening !! lolol!

@laxinitup62 to prevent nitrogen bubbles in their blood stream.
DJICEFALCON 1 year ago
@laxinitup62 they need the oxygen so the nitrogen is removed from their blood so that when the jump the nitrogen doesn't expand in their blood vain's and kill them
pandemic4tw 1 year ago
@laxinitup62 Since everybody is giving you the wrong answer.......the aircrew is on oxygen because our regulations state that we have to be on oxygen at 10k ft and above. Its because they take ZERO chances with the people that actually CONTROL the aircraft becoming hypoxic.
mil5606 1 year ago
@mil5606 Very cool! That makes sense too, as there have been plenty of crashes due to hypoxia.

I feel kinda stupid asking this question, but I was wondering if women can HALO jump for the Air Force. I'm only 14, but I am really looking into joining the Air Force, and I would LOVE to HALO jump. Could I?
ilvg612 1 year ago 2
@ilvg612 Not a stupid question at all. In the Air Force the only people that I know that can get HALO school slots are special forces type dudes such as: Combat Controllers, Combat Weather, TAC-P, and maybe Pararescue. Those specialties are all male only. Then you got the SERE guys (Survival, Evasion, Resistance, Escape) and they can also get HALO qualified. And that specialty is NOT limited to only males. So if u become a SERE specialist n get lucky enough to get a HALO school slot, then YES.
mil5606 1 year ago
@ilvg612 other way, is if youre a parachute rigger, just halo qualified riggers can rig halo parachutes, this is how it is in the army, and i believe that the usaf also, im in the 82 airborne division, i am a paratrooper, and i seen couple female riggers from jump school through advanced airborne school over here at ft bragg that got halo wings, also if youre lucky and get assigned here in the army to a special forces groups you could get a halo school slot...

@ilvg612 Most USAF riggers arent even airborne qual'd. I dont think I have met an air force rigger to date that has been through Airborne school...much less HALO. USN, USMC, and Army have a much better deal for their riggers for sure.

@ilvg612... Also another option is Navy. I'm an Aircrew Survival Equipmentman (also known as PR or Parachute Rigger). Navy riggers can also get slots to Airborne school, with a follow on to EOD Rigger school and get orders to Naval Special Warfare Units, EOD units, and a host of other jump billets. Especially if you can get orders to a Naval Special Warfare Unit Group, you can find yourself fast tracked to getting AFF or Accelerated Free Fall school (ie HALO).

@ilvg612 or become a c liscensed civilian skydiver and go up anytime you want to do a halo from upto 24k ft. we also have parachutes you can steer and land as smoothly as stepping off a curb.

@mil5606 then it isnt a HALO jump and dont tell me im wrong im 101st airborne and also served at 82nd so possibly you should research what halo is before saying something dumb like a halo jump is 10,000 feet

@TheBurritoTaco HALO jumps are almost always Special Forces regardless of branch. Marine Recon, "Green Berets", Rangers, Para-Rescue...it doesn't matter. You have some "normal" paratroopers who have HALO wings and not in SF but it is really hard to get a slot in the school if your not a SF type of paratrooper.

It makes me feel a little sad though that I'll never get to do that or even static from a 141 or 130 again. Maybe next lifetime.
