I realize that but if you are looking to portray a realistic jump environment to improve technique, why remove the sound? The noisy environment also contributes to problems with following proper jump procedures, as I've experienced myself trying to alert a jumpmaster to a problem with someone's gear. The comment wasn't intended as a criticism but to express the difficulty of finding original jump videos when so many people edit and repost them, and to ask if anyone knew where the original was.
Anyone know where I can find a version of this video that has the ORIGINAL audio? There have been about 200 different versions of this video featuring music spammed all over YouTube making it impossible to find the original. Half the experience of a jump was the roar of the engines. That's what creates the feeling of nostalgia, not music. Sad it gets cut out in so many videos and replaced with crappy death metal or some such.
5 stars. im scheduled to go to airborne school aug 20 to sept 11 and i want to look like these guys. do the instructors wear freefall chutes because i didnt see a static line on their chutes in other vids.
No, the safety wears a B-18 parachute only. The Jumpmaster wears the same as the rest of the jumpers. A safety does not leave the aircraft except in an emergency. Those B-18's are only inspected once a year, so it would be better to just jump with the standard static line parachute (T-10D, MC1-1D, or the new T-11).
British Para officer jumped in the Falklands in 1982; U.S./British Paras should be jumping in Afghanistan now using Rhodesian Fire Force tactics go watch the video and video description has a web page on it
isn't dropping with more kit making yourself prone to a weak exit? while on this wavelength, can dynmicpara of some other airborne para let me know what a strong exit is?
hey im from aus and i was just wondering, can any rifleman be specially trained up to go airborne and what's the probability of a malfunction? I just ask cos im gonna join the ADF but need more info on going airborne
Major malfunctions, the type where you need to pull your reserve are rare.
Partial malfunctions, the ones you probably caused yourself are extremely common.
I'd say more than half of my jumps have had something minor like the risers getting twisted and start choking me happen. This is where training kicks in.
No faster than 150 mph with our static-line deployed chutes. Don't forget to go to our Airborne web pages offered in the video description to better understand how this type of jump unfolds!
Is Airborne Training guaranteed for 37F. That's the MOS I enlisted for and on the recruiting website and related videos it says that it is required. Am I good to go? Lol. It'd suck not to be able to jump.
no biggie on the 8th man....just pull risers out hard and bicycle yer ass off...i was in the 82nd '83-'86 and this looks like our C141B exits walking out at 45degrees...our C130 exits were 90 degrees and jump up 6" and out 36"...still after NOE flights and wantng to puke sometimes just getting out the bird is good enough...i pushed many a slow jumper out on a red light when i was stick pusher cause NOE sucked so bad i needed air....can you say tree landing? HOOOOOOAH!!!
I have been on jump status for little over a year now at Ft. Bragg with 1/321 AFAR and from my experience I can tell you that most of these exits are not that great. Its harder to jump with combat equipment than it is hollywood but I wouldn't take this video as a good example of proper exits. There is way too much rushing the door and going out at a 45 degree angle instead of a 90 is not the best choice, although sometimes with the movement of the aircraft, esspecially a C 130 its hard to do.
I agree, great critique. believe it or not but when i was jumping we were taught to exit the aircraft at a 45...from what i understand that was changed a few years ago.
You guys misread what I typed. I meant that it is better to go out at a 90 degree than a 45. In real situations though I've learned to just improvise on the spot. Anyone who has ever actually done this crap before will tell you that its a hell of a lot different when your actually in the plane with all the gear on. Putting your trail leg out first though is a must or you'll have twists every time. That's just me though.
Just graduated a couple of weeks ago, all we learned was 90 degrees - but we just jumped from C-130's. For anything that does not have propellors, I've been told 45 degree jump is best or you'll get a cigarette roll when you come away from the wind screen.

TheServant777 3 years ago
It's VITAL that you DO NOT sign any enlistment contract unless AIRBORNE SCHOOL is guaranteed.
If you do not do this, you could find yourself as a mech-pussy, second-class citizen in the U.S. military for the rest of your life.
You have the MOST bargaining power you will EVER have with the Army when you are a civilian and they don't have your hooks in you yet.
I speak from experience as a former enlisted NCO and current commissioned officer.
