@TheProtocolsofzion Still posting your hatred Nazi boy? Muslims did 9/11 and blamed it one the Jews. You are just like Adolf Hitler trying to blame the Jews for their crimes in any way. Did you know that Muslims are taught a similar thing from birth? To lie for advantage or gain they call it either Taqqiyah or takkiyah. Evdidently they fed you so much of it that you actually believe that every atrocity committed by Muslims was committed by the Jews. Your disgusting.
Take a look at my videos plenty of old army boxing.I am an Ex 59 Royal Marine commando now 50.If you check the welterweight fight you will see me boxing 1983.Add me on Facebook if you want to see my pictures.
i wanna go airborne sooo bad....but my pt score is only a 272..but thats only after 2 tests in bct so ill improve...you need a 270 for airborne right?
@soldiergirl787 Nah, you only have to score 180 points, 60 points in each event using the 17 to 21 year age-group scale as the standard. If you made a 272 that's damn good. The highest you can make is like 300. Lol.
a family friend of mine was in the airborne and on one of his jumps his static cord didnt release, so he was dragged behind the plane and slamming him against the side. They cut him loose not knowing if he was conscience or not, luckily he was. one in a million chance, just thought it was interesting any one here of that happening?
@tystratocaster The only time the JM will cut you loose whether your conscience or not is in artic conditions. You would freeze to death befor they got you to a foamed runway. When I jumped thirty years ago, the Jumpmaster would brief you on a HUNG STATIC LINE, and the signal we use when we wanted to be cut-away was left hand on helmet and right hand over the reserve ripcord. If they cut your friend loose, he gave the Jumpmaster an ok signal.
@Sexpistols15151 The majority of the candidates have some trepidation upon actually being at the School. It is mostly a mental reason rather than a physical reason why most candidates failed. Think about it, you're jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. If you have the heart, you will become Airborne. I still can't believe I graduated from Jump School in 1977 and served in the 82nd Abn.
@nitro300 ITS NOT AIRBORNE RANGER ,,,,,,,,,,,,TO BE A RANGER YOU NEED TO PASS AIRBORNE SCHOOL EVERY RANGER ITS AIRBORNE IF YOU WANT TO BE RANGER YOU NEED TO FIRST PASS THIS SCHOOL..............IN 2 YEARS I WILL GO OR 1
Thanks for the memories. I´m a 1985 Abn School graduate and the only thing in the training that looks any different are the uniforms. Airborne all the way. God bless America!
well i have to say im not american and i dont support wars but being in the army makes you more man than anybody else, discipline obedience and experience i would like to be in the airborne
@ledzepp66 it really doesn't cause there's still a bunch of immature,undisciplined weaklings in it @ the 3 year mark....depends on ur job and duty station...what it truly does is make you bit arrogant like ur better than the average citizen...(which you sort of are, since u had the guts to do at least 3yrs of service) And airborne is the only way to go (as a bare minimum)
hey 1Beltran1, maybe ill see you at Bennings one day.i leave for airborne sept 22nd ...im excited its going to be BADASS!!! but keep your head up and stay strong!!! oh my name is Brian by the way
@Doreiku good luck.... i'll be going to AirBorne school through my ROTC in College! lol. Pratice lots of running , and remember , practice the starting position of a push-up. You will hear this alot, "font leaning rest position, move!" lol...
How are parachutists still needed? At least in Iraq and Afghanistan. Some guys may find this question dumb but I mean, how are they utilized in the current wars.
@skittlesareyum48 they aren't needed. Usually soldiers pursuing a SF career will go to this school. SF soldiers are trained in all aspects of warfare.
Heres an update. Navy has a jump school. Yes all services still go to this one because the navy one is in its infancy, but regardless the navy still has one. They do static line in 1 week!!! Wish I went to that one.
really stupid stuff going on. this branch is better than that one, etc. "best" depends on the individual.
if you're in the military, get off YouTube and go claim more property for the US, or something. If you aren't, stfu because you have no clue what you're talking about.
@freefaller08 your talking about apples and oranges my friend. of course recon is going to be more advanced they should be there a special forces unit. airborne is not special forces. they are light infantry units dropped into battle. your recon airborne is trained by army at ft.bennin georgia also path finding same place trained by rangers. air assualt school ft. cambell KY army. recon and survalliance school also taught by the army rangers in ft bennin georgia i was there i should lol
if you ask me Airborne is the best part of the military. and i will quote Maj. Dick Winters whn i get in and they say we wil be surrounded " We're Paratroopers sir. we're suposed to be surrounded."
I remember when I went back in 1994 during the winter. No gloves and it would be about 40 or so. I had the door position in my stick. I still remember when that door came up and the Jumpmaster gave the command "Stand in the door."
Betcha it's hard making yourself jump outta that plane... Most people pass this school right? Because I've seen this on the Military Channel and it looked liked all the students were at the graduation ceremony.
I find the comments of people who say Airborne school is a joke sort of meaningless. the point of airborne school is to each you to jump out of a plane, and land with out messing yourself up. That's it. If you can do that upon departure, then its served its purpose.
Good luck with that. Airborne was fun. Did airborne and ranger school 23 years ago. ...Ranger school, now that was a tough school (physically exhausting -- lost 35 pounds, and had to repeat 1 phase). ...HOOAH
I wish the Canadian forces would bring back the Airborne Regiment because all we have are 3 Jump Companies that can't be called a big force to be rekon with as it's only 3 companies not even in the same regiment... I might try to do a petition
I want to join the Marines and go to the Army Airborne school as well as some other schools needed to be Recon, but I might not be able to directly make that choice.
To SKOTT14568: I think you must be mis-informed about Marines having a "branch" (whatever that is) of "airborne". Only the U.S. Army has "divisions" and "brigades" of Airborne units. Now you can have me and others "stand corrected " by being more specific about U.S. Marine "Branches". I DO know that the Marine Corp SENDS Marines to the Army Airborne jump school because they don't train on Marine bases for this.
bro marines are sea and air assualt light forces. they dont have 130s to hall them around. thats why the marines have the navy and their own fighters and helos, they are meant for beach assualts and short inland attacks. thats their purpose. the army is the land force which is why they have airborne units. try not to talk till you serve and learn.
Marines do Airborne school at fort benning, if they are lucky. Less than 1 percent most likely. As a matter of fact, one of the special forces instructor for Halo was a marine named Schindler. He had well over 5000 jumps. Ironically, he died in Hemet California skydiving with a skydiving team. Just last year infact. Recon Marines are also much more trained than Rangers, but there are exceptions. Rangers don't do SERE, all Recon must. Some Recon Marines even go thru Ranger School, not Rip.
Actually, what you say is true on paper, but not in reality.
Marines and Army soldiers have almost identical responsibilities in reality. But the key difference is that Marines are more expeditionary while the army is more mechanized.
yup. its in my job description as an infantryman, sustained ground assault through mobilized or airborne assaults. a majority of our inf divs are mech and heavy div, most light inf divs are actually national guard units believe it or not.
yes i know. im in the army and i have 35 jumps under my belt. army, regular army through out the rest of the army, the majority of normal army infantry divisions are heavy mech units. the marines are an all light strike force. we are a sustained ground combat tasked force in the army. we have larger supply chains than the marines. which is why we are better supplied. the marines are made for strike invasions. airborne is armys strike force. 173rd 82nd 25th ID STB ABN and of course the Rangers.
oh for sure. the 101 has kept their shit squared away for all these years. they take their heritage seriously as they should. but yeah they are classified as a light inf. div.
Helicopter insertion is the role of heavy infantry (AirCav).
While a sizable portion of the soldiers in the 82nd and 101st don't have jump wings, the divisions are still organized around large division-scale insertions by parachute.
101st isnt airborn no more its air assult so ur right on tht but 82nd did air bourn operations in iraq and afganastan (forgive my spelling) 82nd either does air operations or foot they try to avoid heli operations but they do some does tht awnser ur quistion?
101st pathfinders and a select few units do traditional static line jumps. Lately the 5th Special Forces group has been flying around doing a mix of static-line and HALO/HAHO jumps.
I would know, I live on Fort Campbell, I see their C130's fly over my house all the time.
airborne does parachute jumps, air assault does helicopter drop ins. both are difficult gentlemen schools, though air assault is considered considerably harder. hope that helped.
I remember going through in may of 89.B/co 507 . I remember seeing Marines quit in the saw dust pit. That school to me was easy considering what was next! 2ND RANGER BN 89-93 OPERATION JUST CAUSE . 5TH SPECIAL FORCES 93-02.
OK I am a hold under to attend airborne school and ill try to clear up a few things. Your recruiter if he thinks you can make it he will put you through airborne school. my father is a recruiter and he wont let just anyone get it in their contract. Or like me get airborne school by earning it by proving your in physical and mental shape to succeed in AIT or BCT your laison can give you a slot. National guard and reservists can get it through request from their unit. hope this helped a little bit
u actually get approved by your by your commanding officer and let him know u want to go then u go to a recruiter office or your commanding officer depending where u are then u get a contract to go to airborne school which reserves u a spot at the school
How crazy is it to think of becoming a green beret. I'm still in high school but it's a dream of mine to be special forces. I'm a black belt martial artist, run and workout almost everyday and have good grades in school. I was just wondering how difficult the selection process is for rangers/ green berets.
Jeff, you can enlist with 18X mos which is SF candidate. You can also enlist with 11 series MOS option 40 which is Ranger school.
With Ranger school, you finish Basic, AIT, Jump then go to a 4 week Ranger course to see if you pass the requirements. After that you are assigned to a Ranger battalion until you are seen ready to complete Ranger school. Only NCO's or officers can attend.
Thats what I remember about the process anyone else correct me if I left something out.
I was IOBC and jump school at Benning. I was with the 3/505 in the 82nd. I have a combat patch on my right shoulder,,101st. I also have 3 rows of medals and that CIB. I was a LT,,71542. I can sleep at night.

I want to join the Marines and go to the Army Airborne school as well as some other schools needed to be Recon, but I might not be able to directly make that choice.

you dont need any of these schools to be recon. They are just in the pipeline.
WhatWouldDerekDo 2 years ago
yes they have and airborne branch they go on the same missions and the same school as army airborne

lol NO they dont have an "airborne branch"

To SKOTT14568: I think you must be mis-informed about Marines having a "branch" (whatever that is) of "airborne". Only the U.S. Army has "divisions" and "brigades" of Airborne units. Now you can have me and others "stand corrected " by being more specific about U.S. Marine "Branches". I DO know that the Marine Corp SENDS Marines to the Army Airborne jump school because they don't train on Marine bases for this.

bro marines are sea and air assualt light forces. they dont have 130s to hall them around. thats why the marines have the navy and their own fighters and helos, they are meant for beach assualts and short inland attacks. thats their purpose. the army is the land force which is why they have airborne units. try not to talk till you serve and learn.

Marines do Airborne school at fort benning, if they are lucky. Less than 1 percent most likely. As a matter of fact, one of the special forces instructor for Halo was a marine named Schindler. He had well over 5000 jumps. Ironically, he died in Hemet California skydiving with a skydiving team. Just last year infact. Recon Marines are also much more trained than Rangers, but there are exceptions. Rangers don't do SERE, all Recon must. Some Recon Marines even go thru Ranger School, not Rip.

Actually, what you say is true on paper, but not in reality.
Marines and Army soldiers have almost identical responsibilities in reality. But the key difference is that Marines are more expeditionary while the army is more mechanized.

yup. its in my job description as an infantryman, sustained ground assault through mobilized or airborne assaults. a majority of our inf divs are mech and heavy div, most light inf divs are actually national guard units believe it or not.
baseballbadman 2 years ago
The airborne's light infantry. They're part of the regular army.
TheRingil 2 years ago
yes i know. im in the army and i have 35 jumps under my belt. army, regular army through out the rest of the army, the majority of normal army infantry divisions are heavy mech units. the marines are an all light strike force. we are a sustained ground combat tasked force in the army. we have larger supply chains than the marines. which is why we are better supplied. the marines are made for strike invasions. airborne is armys strike force. 173rd 82nd 25th ID STB ABN and of course the Rangers.

Thanks.
I suppose the 101st Airborne too? After all, you can't forget the Screaming Eagle, Bastards of Bastogne!
TheRingil 2 years ago
oh for sure. the 101 has kept their shit squared away for all these years. they take their heritage seriously as they should. but yeah they are classified as a light inf. div.

my grandpa was a Screaming Eagle at the siege of bastogne!

yeah but they do helicopter operations not parachute jumps i think. im pretty sure of that someone can verify

Helicopter insertion is the role of heavy infantry (AirCav).
While a sizable portion of the soldiers in the 82nd and 101st don't have jump wings, the divisions are still organized around large division-scale insertions by parachute.
TheRingil 2 years ago
101st isnt airborn no more its air assult so ur right on tht but 82nd did air bourn operations in iraq and afganastan (forgive my spelling) 82nd either does air operations or foot they try to avoid heli operations but they do some does tht awnser ur quistion?

101st pathfinders and a select few units do traditional static line jumps. Lately the 5th Special Forces group has been flying around doing a mix of static-line and HALO/HAHO jumps.
I would know, I live on Fort Campbell, I see their C130's fly over my house all the time.

airborne does parachute jumps, air assault does helicopter drop ins. both are difficult gentlemen schools, though air assault is considered considerably harder. hope that helped.

OK I am a hold under to attend airborne school and ill try to clear up a few things. Your recruiter if he thinks you can make it he will put you through airborne school. my father is a recruiter and he wont let just anyone get it in their contract. Or like me get airborne school by earning it by proving your in physical and mental shape to succeed in AIT or BCT your laison can give you a slot. National guard and reservists can get it through request from their unit. hope this helped a little bit

How crazy is it to think of becoming a green beret. I'm still in high school but it's a dream of mine to be special forces. I'm a black belt martial artist, run and workout almost everyday and have good grades in school. I was just wondering how difficult the selection process is for rangers/ green berets.
jeffwar613 2 years ago
Jeff, you can enlist with 18X mos which is SF candidate. You can also enlist with 11 series MOS option 40 which is Ranger school.
With Ranger school, you finish Basic, AIT, Jump then go to a 4 week Ranger course to see if you pass the requirements. After that you are assigned to a Ranger battalion until you are seen ready to complete Ranger school. Only NCO's or officers can attend.
Thats what I remember about the process anyone else correct me if I left something out.

Corrections: RIP is now roughly 3 weeks depending on the training company.
PVT's can attend Ranger school.
That is all. :)
