@11Bulletstopper HA! "Real paratroopers?" Man, you are one misguided little duck. If anything Smokerjumpers are more real than Paratroopers. Do you even have any idea who Smokejumpers are and what they do? Smokejumpers find their DZs in the air based on where the fire is blowing, its all they can do. 9 times out of 10 you're not gonna have someone on the ground standing around a wildfire guiding people to the ground.
@HazeGreyAndUnderway Ok first off Your a cunt in collage thus you are a virgin talking about sex. Regaurdless Airborne Infantrymen jump way more heavier shit in and on the ground our job is no shit way more dangerous. Smokejumpers came after Paratroopers and they still don't impress me....I don't know shit about fighting fire but me personally if you have a wildfire where you cant drive to it...wtf is the point...let it burn...let mothernature clean up the forest
@11Bulletstopper This has nothing to do with me, it has to do with what you're saying about Smokejumpers. Being a Smokejumper has the potential to be FAR more dangerous than a Paratrooper, this you obviously just cannot understand. The gear needed and used to fight wildfires and the scenarios encountered are surprisingly dangerous, i.e. dynamite, kerosene, falling trees, incredibly odd and rough landings, not to mention fast moving fire, of which there can be no escape.
@11Bulletstopper And either way, using a helicopter to get there in the first place even if you dont land it is still not as economical as flying over and jumping in. But when helicopters are needed, an LZ would still need to be cut by Smokejumpers or Hotshots. You said yourself you dont know anything about fighting fires; I think you just ended your own argument.
@11Bulletstopper When is the last time an Airborne Division has made a combat jump? How often do Airborne divisions make combat jumps? Exactly. Smokejumpers work fires every season. I'm not dissing Airborne units or anything, I'm just pointing out your ignorance.
@HazeGreyAndUnderway Its a sleeping giant, its for we invade a country, NOBODY has the capabilties of us. We also fight hard as hell and any enemie we fight they are scared of shitless of men who wear maroon berets...we are not striclty limited to combat if we don't jump numb nuts.... smokejumping is more dangerous? You are fucking delusional, How smoke jumpers have died since 2001? this last summer my Bn alone lost 51 Troopers in a river valley you never heard of... I'm done with you.
@11Bulletstopper Stop changing the subject. We're talking about Smokejumping vs Airborne jumps. In an infantry role, it becomes a whole different topic. All I'm implying is that the types of jumps Smokejumpers encounter have the potential to be far more dangerous than jumps Paratroopers make. Stop ranting like a child and learn some proper grammar and spelling.
@11Bulletstopper Hey there - not getting involved in this argument with you and HazeGrey (looks like it ended 7 months ago anyway) - just wanted to correct your facts on one thing. Smokejumpers actually came first, in 1939 in Missoula MT - they actually taught Paratroopers to jump. Just sayin'.
@11Bulletstopper The PPE is only what's necessary for the types of jumps Smokejumpers make, nothing they dont need. And THEN it needs to be packed out with all the other equipment theyre dropped like chainsaws, explosives, axes, etc. Helicopters are a waste of fuel in terms of wildland firefighting, and you cant really land a helicopter anywhere you want moron. Jumping to where you need to be is much easier. "Real paratroopers," hahaha. Sounds like someone has a Mr. Military bug up their ass.
my friends gf is a smokejumper

That looks fucking retarded.
1. you really dont have any sort of DZ
2. there is no DZSO, your checking winds from the aircraft...(winds never shift)
3. Judging by how much insane PPE you wear, you guys get broke all the time.
There is this amazing thing called a helicopter, use that, Leave Jumping to real Paratroopers.....fags....
