[TheHoomaikai]

Best time of my military life. 11B 2/508 Abn

[ShogunATT]

Question. Is airborne special forces?

[valentine6261]

@ShogunATT yes it is

[deatheb]

@ShogunATT Nah, airborne isn't special forces. SF is top of the line thing. But you have to be airborne to be a ranger, pathfinder, and SF. It's just an advanced school like air assault.

[CaptainAmerica322]

@ShogunATT

No...the title even SAY Airborne INFANTRY....basically, a light infantry unit, that jumps out of airplanes as well. Its high speed nonetheless

[tripplenipple100]

After graduating jump school, how can you secure a spot in an airborne unit or at least have a better chance of landing in an airborne unit? Thanks for the help!

[Endorin36]

That two people, who had unliked this vid must be OpFor

[Icedawgs30]

great video, takes me back to the days at 1/325

[gondorman123]

yeah i'm leaving June 23 to ft. benning for infantry then off the airborne school!!!!! Yeah God bless man 11x kicks ass Hooah!

[ikickbabies4fun]

Does the landings hurt? are the parachutes reliable?

[ebb1501]

@ikickbabies4fun Sometimes yeah. I would compare it to maybe jumping off the roof of a one story house.

[bigm1a1]

@ikickbabies4fun if u land right no, and it all depends on who packs ur chute

[Cam3r0N0721]

my life has been signed away to the airborne infantry division in the US Army... i am ready to serve my country in ways that many will not... i am proud to call myself a United States Soldier.... HOOAH!!!!

[strikehold2504]

Yeah, you land hard but it is good for you. Three point PLF's build character. B 2/504th '92-'96.

[JimMcClusky123]

<<<<< C Co 2/504 89-91 and 94-96 then 1/501 PIR up here in Alaska from 96-99. Airborne all the way!!

[RogerBiggerstaff]

D 2/504 '93-'97

[sweigart2]

July 1975 I left Fort Polk, LA after completing advanced Infantry Trng for jump school at Fort Benning, GA.. It was the hottest 4 weeks of training I ever had. When I cherry blasted into Panama and humped all that gear including my prick77 radio with extra batteries and ammo for 4 weeks it did not even compare. c Co 2/504 Inf.

[supportdatroops1]

shit they land fucking hard i wonder how many of them hurt there ankles

[new9876]

when you join the forces and you finish bootcamp, do you actually choose that u wanna do airborne infantry or something else??

thx in advance!

[RememberKarmaX]

you have to pass the prior protocols.. then if your accepted you go. if you don't pass, then your just not airborne... you usually train infantry first, then later on try for airborne. My brother is a Army Chopper pilot in georgia... He started off as cav.. He had to be transfered.. Even through thats what he wanted to do.

[pu77]

you can get airborne infantry in your contract.

[cicla]

But MEPS have to get approval from " The Rock" Then comes the physical which im waiting for that. The comes the stamp for Airborne. Then comes Hell. haha

[DeathFromAbove211]

well u don't have to do infantry to do airborne, but its easier to get airborne school if ur infantry, like me i got it in my contract, so after i finished infantry OSUT at Ft. Benning i went straight to airborne school at Ft Benning

[CerebralFusioncom]

at the end of AIT they will offer Airborne if your PT scores are above average

[The11BJoe]

2-508PIR, 82nd Airborne All the Way!!!

[loiho]

Airborne is an volunteer force in time of peace or war.

"You can draft a sailor, soldier, marine but you can not draft a paratrooper, the Airborne."

[letseewhathappens101]

would you recimend airborn Infantry. or the Infantry

[Shoshin420]

Go infantry, if you have to think twice about jumpin out of a plane into a war zone then Airborne is not for you.

[DashXFox]

airborne infantry all the way.. not a thought in my mind says other wise

[unvun]

I love it can not beat this life!!!!!!!!!!

[yummycars]

What does it take to be Airborne Infantry in the Army or Marines? How good is the pay? DO you have to get a really high score on the ASVAB? Im 16, dying to get my life started, someone help me out. Dont be suprised if I message you asking more questions.

[Tribulation725]

Determination and the ability to push yourself way beyond your comfort zone and the natural understanding to do beyond what is asked of you. It's a lot of hard work but it's also very rewarding. You will be along side some of the most well-trained and well-disciplined paratroopers in the entire world, and when it comes down to it, that's all that matters. If you're looking to become one of the best, go Airborne. A lot will be expected of you (cont'd next post)

[Tribulation725]

(cont'd last post) but the dedication you put in will be rewarded in kind. Just remember that being the best of the best is very challenging, and many will try to take that title away from you. But just know that the well known reputation of paratroopers to adapt and overcome in high stress situations has not been earned and cannot be maintained without blood and sweat. AIRBORNE!

[gruntsnpr]

airborne school is a joke, its a piece of cake dont worry too much about it, tribulation sounds like some cheese dick pog

[Tribulation725]

I don't know what kind of shitty fucking unit you're from that teaches you to make broad assumptions, dipshit, but I wasn't talking just about jump school. There's a difference between a parachutist and a paratrooper, you 5-jump piece of shit. You know it's a sad state of affairs when I can only laugh at you rather than actually argue a valid point because you have no fucking idea.

[gruntsnpr]

lmao i came from a squared away unit and went to more schools airborne being the lesser of all of them in 4 years than most do in a 20yr career... so get over your little airborne being the best of the best crap... just being airborne was badass in WWII but not so much anymore buddy

[tylerxlynch]

Agree

[elitecrimson]

who do you think is better the 82nd airborne or the USMC

[Italllianranger17695]

Bro i have the same problem, im joining up in less than a year and i still dont know which one. Got a cousin in the marine corps infantry and also my dad was in the Army and i have a friend in the 82nd. He told me marines are great IF and only IF they can guarantee you infantry in your contract, army can but im not sure marines can too.

[Italllianranger17695]

thats a tough one, 82nd has much more training and even marines go to Army jump school so in terms of a availability and readiness to deploy it would be 82nd but Marines are not far behind on the ground...remember that

[gizmopopp]

hey man im army airborne so maybe my opinion is a lill bias, but if you think you have a good brain in that skull of yours, go army.

[work4thewicked]

better than the rest

[bridgesfu2]

ALL AMERICAN!!

those are my boys..

[c47dutchjump]

82nd made the most daring assolt in WW2 on Sept. 20th and is nowadays still considered the best.

[vampjunit]

cool video... the song is Bush - Machinehead

[TheGreenSmoke]

My DS back in basic kept on joking about how much the 82nd sucked. He was in the 101st, of course.

[CaptainN64]

The funny thing is, the 101st doesn't even jump anymore!

[zombiechild1666]

hell yeah,that is us,and i am platoon sniper,GO 82nd airborne baby HOOAH

[TheGreenSmoke]

I smell bullshit, you fucking little liar; the Army does not accept retard Nazis with gay haircuts.

[bridgesfu]

fuck you!

[Skivt34]

Great Vid, whats the song called,

Airborne All the Way!

[mattsbride]

Machine Head from band BUSH!!!
