  • WHAT'S THE MUSIC?

  • 1:02 prepare to do some bicycle kicks

    Stand up, Hook up, Shuffle to the door.

    Personally I prefer the tail ramp, thumbs up if you agree.

  • FUCK THAT. What if the yellow line doesn't pull the parachute out?

  • @HollywoodKendrick Reserve =)

  • @HollywoodKendrick Reserve 'chute. It is what there hands are on when they jump out.

  • been wanting to do this since 6 years old.. too bad were I live don't have this

  • now this is a great job

  • very nice jumping :)

  • iv just done p company :)

  • wow old video remix of a gold ramp test jump on walking out the door of a c130 instead of jumping. wanted to stop having the dragon gunners having there tubes hang up in the door. sorry Van Halen was better

  • Mac001texas....lol your kidding right?

  • This shit gives me chills. I honestly cannot wait to go to Airborne School.

  • i do this in about a week

  • When you see a paratrooper do you know what to do?...You stand still you chill the fuck out and hope he doesn't put you on the list of shit he wants to fuck up today! You go home and hide in the corner and pray that he doesn't fucking change his mind and shit on your life.

  • @bmister50 as if airborne were hard

  • the dislikes are all from nasty dirty legs

  • is that sicily? i cant tell lol

  • whats the name of the song that is in this video

  • AIRBORNE!

  • Loling at the guy that Summer saulted sideways in Air :D

  • Stand-up hook-up shuffle to the door- jump on through and cout to four!!!

  • This song is awesome!!!! who is it?

  • Man does this bring back some memories! It does look as though that several troopers will have line twists on the exits but I can remember having a few myself.

    My Green Beret is off to you SpecOps, thanks for posting this.

    AIRBORNE!

  • @Gradivus375 Why's that?

  • I thought you're not supposed to do this until the plane gets shot down...

    You just jumped out of a perfectly good plane!

  • the VDV is for hardcore paratroopers :3

  • why so much equipment???

  • @shallowcoder1 CUZ THEY AINT BITCHMADE.

  • @shallowcoder1 because they might be getting dropped into a warzone, and have to survive there for weeks.

  • @shallowcoder1

    because they are americans, it is to compensate for the size of their balls.

    seriously now, americans got to have everything large, they think that the more shit they carry, the better your chances are to win.

    point is, a combat jump needs only your fighting gear and emo, all that shit they carry is clearly not for direct combat reasons , it is when they go out camping, tihihi...

  • Comment removed

  • @Israellite1 Not sure if you are familiar with Operation Overlord (D-DAY)..Paratroopers from the 101st and 82nd airborne divisions jumped into Normandy in the early morning hours of June 6, 1944..They conducted sustained combat operations for almost a complete month with little or no re-supply....When we jump we jump ready to fight...we dont know when or if re-supply is comeing..we take enough supplies to last us for an uncertain amount of time....

  • @Airborne2037

    familiar?

    just like the rest pf us, not with the operational aspect of particular combats.

    I know you are right, that's what I meant with "camping". I know of special airborne units. we down here in the nasty wild near east, will mostly jump into direct contact.

    I was not a paratrooper, I admit that much. I wont shit you, I was an ordinary foot soldier in the israllei army, and later became part of an arrest unit, not exactly elite, but doing the same kind of work.

  • @Israellite1 I deffinatly give you IDF folks serious respect...its gotta be like being in a combat zone 24/7

  • Is this Luzon DZ?

  • Rakkasans airborne is it the same as the 101st airborne?

  • Thats how to clear an aircraft!

  • Prints of the 173rd's combat jump into Iraq now available. Contact kingfatcrayon@gmail for preview.

  • I fulfilled my services in Greek Special Forces as a paratrooper and also as a trainer in Greek Paratrooper School.I've made 13 jumps in my military service.This video is awesome and reminds me a lot!We jumped from 1200ft.I greet all the paratroopers as they are by all the bravest soldiers.

  • Thanks for posting this!! My son just graduated from the Course on Friday, almost 35 years to the day when I graduated.. I got to pin my original wings on him at the ceremony - simply one of the proudest days of my life. Airborne!!

  • i am a paratrooper from portugal and i love this video! is fucking sick

  • Count the Soldiers

  • 0:55 to1:20 is like one of those clown cars :P

  • I just found out I have SQI: P Parachutist in my contract. Does this mean I have to do Airborne school? I'm 37F PsyOp btw.

  • Im sick of sky divers thinking there paratroopers try jumping out a fuckin plain 2 in the morning with 95lbs of combat equipment and 42lbs of parachute.

  • @paraj25 ....at 800 feet....been there, man! :)

  • @bartman1775 we jumped kevlars for the first time in 81 or 82, about half of them flew of during the exit. No big deal unless you were on the ground, it sounded like bowling balls landing and thumping into sicily drop zone. I miss so much and want to get a dalorean and go back in time, civilian life is so damn boring without the risks and commraderie that we took for granted back then. good luck 1\508 live large and you will not die small

  • watch?v=KIs8mOmdtbE

  • can i join the army even though i dont have my diploma nor my ged

  • anyone died ? lol

  • god i fucking love mass exits or mass attacks

  • Do their parachutes open automaticly as soon as they jump out? or do they need to pull somthink

  • @prebioticc - the static line activates the shoot, if that doesn't work the soldier will use his back up shoot, if that don't work well, pull your weapon out and shoot on your way down

  • @MrPelhambay

    haha, thanks always been curious on how it works cheers.

  • @prebioticc -cheers

  • @prebioticc Dude, it's a parachute! You pull something!

  • @prebioticc It's static line, one end attached to your parachute, one end attached to the plane, it opens your parachute automatically when you jump out. It's supposed to at least

  • @CaptainCrapnuts

    Understood :) thanks for reply

  • By 1943 standard in today’s dollars a PFC’s pay, foreign duty and combat bonus amounted to 2,943 dollars per month. Sergeant with sufficient time-in-service and assuming sharpshooter, amounted to 4,185 dollars per month.

    Hazardous Duty Incentive Pay for a paratrooper was 1,887 per month in today’s dollars. A PFC’s aircrew Incentive Pay was 940 dollars a month, and that was 1,320 dollars per month for a Sergeant.

  • Song?

  • Ok seriously who cant tell that its important to have paratroopers? They can be anywhere in the world in 24 hours, They are the first large forces we put on the ground. Not only does it beat the hell out of walking but you can put them anywhere, behind in front or beside the enemy. They raid and cause havoc and cause general mayhem till the legs get there.

  • Everyone seems to think these are all fun and games but I got bad news for ya friends, when theres AA fire and bullet holes in your chute and hostiles in literally every direction you dont think about how fun it is you think about how fast you get get to that ground and get behind something solid. The 10 minutes before you jump into a combat zone will most likely be the most nerve racking and bladder emptying experience you will ever go through. jumper from operation market garden told me that

  • love all.Got shot home now

  • never had muiict when i jump?

  • You don't have to be a paratrooper to know that regular parachuting is just as scary as combat parachuting.

  • @USparatroopersurgeon I'm a Skydiver and I don't find it scary at all. It's the most fun I've ever had in my whole life.

  • @USparatroopersurgeon regular parachutist jump with 70 pounds of gear a rifle and ext the plane every second from 800 feet wirh hundereds of others to bounce ofd of at 0dark30? wow I must have missed that

  • @35t10b It's actually around 80, and carrying extra gear does not scare you, it just fatigues you.

  • @USparatroopersurgeon you were a paratrooper sugeon, I was a paratropper m-60 gunner, I made mass attack jumps into a few different countries, bounced of other jumpers in the dark, tree landings in panama and germany and watched two entangled jumpers bounce off the ground. Paratroopers from my unit(82nd) were dragged to death in the desert during high wind jumps. My point is civilian jumping is fun, but a whole lot less scary or dangerous

  • @35t10b You learned to jump on trees it ridiculously! Г Ы

  • @Vanyaaynav no you idiot we jumped mass attack and put as many chutes in the air as possible, you must have jumped hollywood jumps every time We had 8,9,10, c141 aircraft on most jumps and put jumpers out every second from both doors at the same time with c-rats, ammo, weapons, spare radio batteries, water, extra uniforms etc. everything you needed to live for a few days, since we jumped into panama, germany, turkey, where ever we landed wherever the Airforce dropped us.

  • @35t10b You wished me to surprise-it to you it was not possible. You jumper Golivuda.

  • @Vanyaaynav It was not uncommon to be put out over trees by the Air Force. There wasn't a Trooper in my platoon that did not make tree landing. You always trained and prepare for trees, power lines, and water.

  • @TheHoomaikai I not the military parachuter, I the civil parachuter the-fan (nonprofessional) .Я jumped on army parachutes of the Soviet sample. Yes you are right us also learned to sit down on electric mains, trees, water, but also and learned to avoid these obstacles. Basically on trees girls парашютистки got only.

  • @USparatroopersurgeon It's not the fall that kills you, it's the sudden stop

  • @35t10b I know...

  • Hubby just finishing his airborne training! I can't believe he is doing THIS!!!!!

  • @dowsett88  don;t worry, he is loving every minute of it and the challenges will make himgreat

  • 0:25 ouch.

  • some pretty shitty exits lol

  • @rdmartindill Lets see you do better.

  • my dream job

  • @certifiedbomber , paratroopers are still CRITICAL to America's military. The 173rd jumped into Iraq in the 2003 invasion and right now, the paratroopers (may have been a few years ago cause of the time the book was publshed) is leading a spec ops task force right now in Afghanistan. Paratroopers are critical or we wouldn't have them.

  • @FatalWolf93, Airborne is Army. The division is made up of three outfits: 82nd, 101st(which is actually air assault), and the 173rd. Hpe this helped.

  • @TheNavysealsrock---CORRECTION Navysealsrock.... There is also a little known, but VERY successful Brigade in ALASKA which is the only Airborne Infantry Brigade in the Army ! We are the 4th Brigade, 25th Infantry Division out of Ft. Richardson. SPARTA LIVES !!! (If you dont know, u better ask somebody...) Airborne, ALL THE WAY!!! Death From Above !!!!!

  • what force is the Airborne in (Air Force, Army, Rangers)

  • @ChronicSilver88 , training ain't easy, it's phyisical punishing. Paratroopers are an elite unit, so by nature the training isn't going to be easy. I'm 13, so as soon as I'm able to join, I'm going airborne Ranger.

  • @ChronicSilver88 , yes, the airborne is the army and not in USMC or navy (although they both have para capable units like SEALs or Force Recon but aren't in any means an airborne division) and when you join, the army will ask you what MOS you want and you can ask for airborne, but it doesn't always turn out that way. You have to have perfect strength and flexibility in all joints and exeptional phisical strength.

  • that seems so cool wish i could do that

  • Go Airborne!

  • Why don't they just jump out the ramp at the back?

  • @TheNintendoFreak117 they do. its called tail gating, and it is slower, you need to put as many men as close together as possible when they hit the ground and that means jump both doors at the same time as fast as you can

  • My old drop zone. Believe me, you weren't allowed to hesitate or you would get a boot in the back of your ass making your jump. And if you mess up the rotation, the guy jumping out the other door would slam into you under the plane. If you think this is crazy, imagine doing this with 7 C-17's with about 500 paratroopers dropping all at once at 2am. That, my friends, is scary.

  • @Zskillit no, thats an adreline rush

  • It looks so natural to them. They just jumped without any hesitation. I would have had a heart attack... God bless them.

  • @OhShitDidHeDie actually guess that as long as you're not first in the line you don't have much time to think and you get out of the plane before you know it. Following others must be easier than being alone. When jumping into combat they are surely more worried about what's awaiting them on the ground than the jump itself.

  • @OhShitDidHeDie it what they train for and what i will train for too

  • nice

  • makes since...did not think it looked right

  • how fast does this plane go when they are jumping out?

  • Not look like a proper c-130 exit. more like a 141 or even 117, but in a c-130 trooper places hands on skin of aircraft and jumps, not walks, out the door. just saying.

  • @gary60rn That is a gold ramp test jump. Testing walking out the door in a c130 around 1993. We also tested going out at a 30 Deg angle do to dragon tubes sometimes getting hung up in the door.

  • us airbourne troops... fuck all on us brit paras! utrique paratus!!!!

  • Ohhh how I miss my days at Ft. Bragg 2/319 AFAR  Bravo brty baby

  • All the way!

  • im sorry but the persons ho dislike this are dumbass's

  • watch?v=BwyDz1umJwM

  • BADASS video!!!! So proud of all our troops....especially my brother in the 82 Airborne Division! What you guys do is amazing!!!

  • What  is height?

  • @Vanyaaynav For training, usually 350-400 Meters. It gives time to use reserve chute if there is a problem. For combat, under 200 meters. Reserve is carried also in combat, but time is so short the best one can hope for is a "partial opening", which perhaps will preserve life but will still result in severe injury. One gives more fabric, and hopes for the best.

  • Comment removed

  • im 3d one out here

  •  What height was at emission of parachuters?

  • GO AIRBORNE

    quote on the internet

  • 3/504th 92-95. Some of the funnest times. :)

  • Hooaaaa..

  • cool vid I was 1\508 from 80-83 I miss it, and would die of a heart attack if I did it now

  • At 0:25 dude hits door

  • @willbthebest

    But how will they get into combat at the beginning of the war/battle? Sure, after an area is secure and a base can be set up its not really useful, but at the beginning, yes it is necessary.

  • Wow i miss doing this! Great Viedeo!

  • I just watched surviving the cut on the military channel, these dudes go through hell to be paratroopers.

  • HERE COMES SANTA CLAUSE!

  • @Nathan8r:  He was hooked up; when the JM does his door check/DZ observation the Safety controls his static line; if you know what your talking about you can clearly see him extend his Left arm; hence left door leg.

  • Then you see him controlling his static line while he taps out #1 Jumper. Did you think he would hold his static line while he was leaning out the door? Maybe you should leave the evaluations to the professionals; JUMPMASTERS! So I am now ready to hear your BS responce or Airforce technical expertise or whatever; people should think before they talk.

    Sapper27

  • 00.2 sec Jumpmaster wasn't even hooked up when he stood in the door? Say it ain't so!

  • u'd shit yourself seeing this lot float down to kick your ass

  • Sicily, normandie, st. Mere eglise 3 of my favovorite dz's at Bragg. Oh and don't forget the hours and hours you sat on your ass at green ramp at pope AFB.

  • they are like mexicans jammed in that plane

  • at :56 was that guy 10th MNT

  • looks like the plane just took a HUGE ass dump

  • 3:13-3:14 look on the other side, i think he slipped off the plane ahahah

  • was 82nd in the 80's nice video brought back nice thoughts.ALL THE WAY!!!!

  • That must be the best feeling in the world

  • @MrNinjaKiwi13 it really is

  • I can't fucking wait to join! Anyone know how much these guys run and how often?

  • @jess1all day, all the time ;)

  • @jess1up everywhere everyday... Zero walking

  • @jess1up : I do not know about now, but when I was in, we ran 5-7 miles a day. I would also recommend doing alot of pushups and pull ups. Upper body strength is also important.

  • airborne air assault

  • i thought they never stop

  • Van Halen - Jump ??? r u sure ??

  • Private Martin Alig 82nd Airborne :) Proud of him

  • Hell yeah!

  • As a paratrooper it's not disrespectful to say that it's outdated because it is. Very, very few soldiers have a mustard stain on their wings. Technology has made jumping into combat pointless. Even if we did it would be a slaughter because the haj don't give a flying fuck about the Geneva conventions.

  • @wlawson09 that means as a soilder faceing them neither should you

  • @wlawson09 Paratroopers are fair game in the Geneva Convention, It is Aircrews parachuting from disabled planes that are protected. Right, it has been well documented of atrocities and violations comitted against parachuting pilots and aircrews. As for paratroopers being obselete, why do most of the world powers still have parachute units? Especially regimental and division size units.

  • @wlawson09 Well, it has it uses. But only in conventional warfare, when fighting gorilla tactics its rather pointless.

  • @wlawson09 Im pretty sure its mainly used for Spec ops these days, As it puts them behind enemy lines where they need to be, without bringing too much attentionto their cause. Or thats what i can figure anyways.

  • @jamieashinfincle they would probably halo jump. at a much higher altitude.
