Jump School

[kimzisk3wlz1]

Can females go to airborne jumo school?

[davnkatz]

(con't) jump week was a real kick. Funny I never felt afraid jumping out of a perfectly good airplane, but I am STILL afraid of being on a tall building. Of course, I always had butterflies along with excitement. AIRBORNE - ALL THE WAY

[davnkatz]

I volunteered airborne because the recruiting trooper looked so stract in his starched kakis, spit-shined jump boots, and pants legs bloused. Funny thing, I am afraid of heights, so I had something to prove to myself. Ground week learning PLFs. To this day, at 75, I have fallen off ladders etc and knowing the PLF has saved me many times from injury. Tower week was exhilirating. When the chute was lifted that last few feet to bounce the holding rings off the hook caused the stomach to "lurch".

I still shake my head after 35 years. I don't know how my Recruiter talked me into doing this, but I'm glad he did. AIRBORNE!

I was an O1 when I was in then 42nd Company. I think that even an O9 respects his wings. I was in the 82nd,,3/505,,,then the 101st in Vietnam. Take 30 men with autoguns and walk in the woods. Very Scary.

[notnowplz]

thanks for this

probably the best & proudest times of my life.

[dmudd1422]

Brings back good memories. My first jump was defiantely one of the scariest things I've ever done. One of my more memorable times in my four year army stint.

[Garcia0384]

OMG.....AT 1:06 he was one of my Airborne instructors!

lol..

[red2alpha]

When I went through Jump School the Black Hats didn't let us sleep in the Pack Shed. Must be a kinder gentler Jump School now.

[spzero414]

They didn't let us sleep either and I finished less than 2 months ago...so the standard 'kinder/gentler' Army argument won't work. Depends on the Co. and their cadre...just like with just about everything else in the Army

[lostontherun]

i just finished jump school in july and if the 1sg caught us sleeping he dropped an elbow right on top of your head, literally

[sactownsoldier23]

I just recently finished jump school as well and if we were caught sleeping we got 2 words... "Chute Shake" not only for us but for the rest of the chalk as well. BTW that guy talking on his descent pulled both of the canopy releases when he landed...no no...
