  • Just got back from AB school last friday! (guess im a 5jump chump) what a blast, im looking froward to jumping again in the future. the 5 jumps we got in just made us hungry to do it again! AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!

  • I'm a 5 jump chump, and watching this is making my palms sweat lol...never once hesitated, but boy you don't ever get used to that initial hit of air when you leave the door

  • well thebobday your a fog and you think you know what your talking about shut cause you couldnt even do half the shit they do

  • @theusapride what is a fog , i hope you meaning to say pog .

    hooah

  • Be all you can be ..Cannon fodder in a outpost in Afghnistan!

  • Their sticks are loose, Their exits are lousy and their jumpin high! Want to impress me? Try again!

  • ur a fag

  • My father was Airborne during the cold war. Jokingly, I asked him, "Why would you jump out of a perfectly good airplane?!" His reply was, "'Cuz it's the most most fun you can have with your pants on!"

    lol

  • Shut up, enjoy ya scrub ahhh the good ol days

  • This video is a public domain DOD production and the soundtrack featured the tune "Jump" with the permission of the copyright holder. WSG did not authorize it? Bullshit. Youtube is full of bullshit!

  • I agree. Our brave troops and they do this?

    God help them!

  • I posted this video with the original soundtrack using the appropriate "legalese" (see video 2DZPIGhL3bY )

  • talking to a recruiter tomorrow

    cant wait

  • Mark R SGM 82-94 Ranger 3rd -75 & 5th RTB Frank D Merrill Great Video Too bad about the sound .. To bad rockers can't understand the sacrifices Rangers and all our Men and Women in the Army make To bad they will not let us enjoy a song they had the freedom to write .. that Freedom brought to them by Rangers and others in the millitary serving all around the world . like my son ( 91W )Army Medic serving in Iraq

  • Try getting in touch with Fenix281. He may send you a copy. Digitalpizzazz Emailed me one last year I now have it on dvd with sound track. I'm an old ex Brit Para and I watch this vid often. Thanks to the internet.I no longer live in the industrial revelution. Andy 1638

  • hahahah yups 101 screaming eagles hahah wow how could that guy make that mistake..

  • im going to join 101st

  • 101st isn't airborne, genius. they're air assault.

  • Stand up, hook up, shuffle to the door, jump right out and count to 4. if my main to open wide i got a reserve by my side and if that one should fail me to, look out below im coming through! lol!

  • im thinking about joining as an enlisted soldier, after highschool, and tips from veterans would be great.

  • I was airborne last class of 69, went to 82nd at FT.Bragg, I met a lot of returning combat vets from Viet Nam who retrained me mentally for combat in Viet Nam. I owe a lot to the Airborne training and brotherhood of paratroopers. I did 2 tours in Viet Nam, one with the 11th Cav. the other with the 101st abn div. If you join, go airborne you will never regret it. The US airborne has more combat victories and lost less lives than anyother outfit in all branches of the services.

  • As someone who is really thinking about joining, I trust what you are saying.

  • i joined early on in 2008 and now im in AIT and so far the hardest thing has been beeing away from family. i have a RIP contract and ill be going to airborne soon. i graduate from AIT oct 27th.but i like it so far. 13F is my MOS

  • Best of luck to you man, I mean it!

  • Great video

    Thanks

  • Another interesting note: Back in the day, on the 130's we took a stance in door, had to grab both sides and leap out, we only walked out like this on the C-141's. Guess someone finally figured out is was quicker just to run out the door, less 'Troopers in the trees due to long exit times :)

  • do you get a red beret when you are in the army airborne???

  • Yes although it more of a maroon color. That said once you leave an airborne unit you have to done the ugly meaningless black one.

  • VIVE les AIRBORNE ..

  • hey guys ime british n ime hoping to be able to join our 16 air assault brigade n ide like to say that it would be an honour to fight with the US airbourne division.

  • likewise friend

  • Likewise also. I was 82nd back in 80's, I remember some of the Brit para's coming to Bragg, I think we took them down to Myrtle Beach SC and got drunk as S... on the beach...Brit's are our bestest friends, our heritage, and can drink like hell :) We can always count on them to stand by our side, right or wrong, as we will do for them. Salute! God save the Queen, and God Bless America...

  • The first point of performance is "Proper exit, check body position, and count."

    The second point of performance is "Check canopy and gain canopy control."

    Once control of the parachute is gained, the third point of performance is "Keep a sharp lookout for all jumpers during your entire descent."

    The fourth point of performance is "Slip/turn into the wind and prepare to land."

    The fifth point of performance is "Land."

  • Wow did that bring back some (50+) memories!

    C-130 Hercules - best plane ever made. I got to jump out of a C5 a couple of times too.

    Awesome footage and VH Rocks! Made my heart jump again. Thanks for the post.

  • Ah just watching this brings back so many memories over Sicily drop zone

  • awsome, hows that make u feel, like when ur stomach feels weird on a rollar coaster???

  • Hmmm...how to describe it? No matter how many times I've done it, I always get SOME anticipation and excitement starting at "10 minutes!" Going out the door you get swept away, some sense of freefall in that brief 3-4 seconds until your 'chute (should) deploy, then the shock as you and 100+ pounds of gear get rapidly decelerated and then the (RAPID) drift on down, watching out for collisions.

    Ah this takes me back. A/9POB (TAC)

  • can i ask what happens if your chute doesent deploy?

  • That bundle you might see at the troop's belly, that's a reserve chute.

  • do you have to pull that manually?

  • Yes. A complete malfunction (no canopy) tuck your head in and pull.  Partial (canopy deployed but little lift; blown panels or partially collapsed) you have to cover the ejection, pulling out a handful and throwing it out and away to clear the first 'chute.

  • and you have to do that all in 10 seconds..id probaly freak out and just die

  • Not really it is drilled in to you so much it becomes like second hand nature.

    PS granted luckily during my 4 years on jump status I never had to put that theory to test lol

  • lol

  • no that is a static line. you jump out in sticks. were all hooked up when we jump. if you get streamer or a shoot that fucks up you pull your reserve and pray

  • pull your rip on the reserve, if that doesn't open then just roll it all up when you land and take it back to the riggers, they'll fix it for ya. lol. gory gory what a hellova way to die.

  • good times...good times

  • cant wait too try this!!!

  • you'll love it. nothing like jumping into complete darkness 900 feet off the ground carrying 100 pounds of gear. fun as hell.

  • Hell ya this is where i belong!!! i cant wait till i go to airborne school!!!!!!!! GO ARMY

  • batallion2.solo el que ha sido paracaidista de algun ejercito de cualquier pais sabe lo que cuesta ganarse unas alas..saludos camaradas..de un chute del 2btn.120.ant 1990 mexico.

  • Been there, done that

  • don't lie, falling off you're roof with an umbrella isn't the same thing

  • 509 geronimo!

  • Airorne all the way, Devils in baggy pants 3/504

  • beautiful

  • God bless you crazy bastards!

  • is this a juicy recall for Easy Company?
