Canadian Forces Parachute Training

[TheGuilbran78]

how many Paratroopers do we have

yes i know the CAR was disbanded but we still have airborne units

[EliT3man]

Is it required to be able to parachute if your in the Canadian military.

[JillnRe]

@EliT3man no.

[Gwunty]

"months of training"? Yet, in the army cadet program, it's a few weeks long. then again, I suppose that's just basic.

I have three years to go, and I might be doing exactly this. Living the dream, I hope.

[pxdfover]

Wat happened to the airborne in the 90s? Why was it disbanded?

[supersonic3177]

LOL I bet the only thing that these "soldiers" do is put down moose rebellions

[dbennett4]

@supersonic3177 They are taking care of what you yankee pussies can't handle in Afghanistan, as they did in Korea and both world wars.

[AmShRo]

@supersonic3177 fuck you you American bitch, our army is way better than yours will ever be.

[Rileys2379]

Cont. But to someone who just got off his Basic Jump Course you can easily see the mistakes they're making.

And by the way at the end the aircraft drill commands are all over the place. I mean they called stand up before get ready for goodness sakes!

[Rileys2379]

1:20 Landings - Right Front Roll: smashed elbow thats one minor on the P.O. check.

2:38 Complete Malfunction Drill: He didn't hit the side the his reserve. Fail.

6:10 Aircraft Drill: (this is actually rather funny) First jumper of the stick begins to stand up on the command 'Get Ready' (stomp on the ground with your inboard arm on the knee, eyes on the JM).

In the eyes of a Civilian this is quite a good video.

Its informative, well rounded, and shows the basics.

[justin002700]

@stjimmy3916 para training through army cadets is five weeks and through the regular military it's 3 weeks

[BoeingPilotable]

@justin002700 that's 2 extra mothafuckin weeks of PT

[stjimmy3916]

2 MORE YEARS!!!! :D

[justin002700]

@stjimmy3916 if you wanna do this take your 2 years and train for it the course is very challenging both mentally and physically and these JM's are only being nice for the camera if you do get to jump school youll find out just how badass PI's are lol Airborne

[stjimmy3916]

@justin002700 getting into the airborne let alone the army has been my motivation to train to my best ability :D

[stjimmy3916]

@justin002700 and how long is para training?

[Rileys2379]

@justin002700 Hooah to that!

I had Sergeant Airborne (Hillier) as my PI and I can tell you he certainly doesn't watch his language over in CFLAWC unless civilians are around!

[CDNmuslimkiller]

I wouldn't go as far to say they were special forces. all was required was a basic para course. There was no selection involved (unlike csor today). They were a very robusk unit and rapid deployable. And they were disbanded because of crooked faced jean chretian and the fucking cock-sucking liberals.

[Litterboxer529]

I wanna be a Paratrooper in the CF when I'm older.

[CDNmuslimkiller]

@Litterboxer529 your better off going for CSOR.

[Panzer883]

@Alexplus20. yes, all infantryman has the chance to earn their wings. But a Para Coy wears the Maroon Beret. there is also your "red" wings and your "white" wings.

[Panzer883]

@thunder192k, yeah we got rid of the "Airborne Regiment" in the 90's we still have jump Company's... currently B Coy is the Para Company.

[TheGuilbran78]

i hope Canada revives the 65th airborne of WW2

[snipeX10]

wait a ct-1 parachute.?

[Alexplus20]

Can every regular infantryman be a paratrooper?

[unknowwn1990]

I think that reply was meant for ShadowDeath...but w/e

[fightingBRITISH]

Does the CF still have an airborne regiment? I heard it was dissbanded or something but I dunno.

[dvooght1]

@fightingBRITISH the Canadian Airborne was disbanded in the 90's. Now each regiment has it's own jump-designated companies who work alongside the other companies in the battalion. the Special Operations unit (CSOR) is the new equivalent to the airborne regiment.

[hewittdj1]

@fightingBRITISH What you heard of was probably thinking of was the Canadian Airborne Regiment which yes, was disbanded, after being 'disgraced' in Somalia way back in the 90's I believe. They were accused of some things during a mission, and were disbanded, probably more political than anything. We still have airborne battalions but no specific 'regiment'. Right now the RCR, 3rd batt, and a batt from the PPCLI out west have 'airborne' battalions. PPCLI out west and RCR in petawawa

[Freepepsi42]

@hewittdj1 don't forget the Queen's Own Rifle's we can be airbourne.

[Freepepsi42]

@hewittdj1 Para company Queen's Own.

[GPlayerLogan]

@hewittdj1 This is of interest to me because there is no listing for any kind of airborne regiment and I think it's something I would want to do if I joined the CF

[samairborneshepherd]

@hewittdj1 I believe it was in '94. And the 'incident' was in my understanding two individuals that killed a hostage during interrogation. You are also right however in saying it was a political thing. The Prime Minister at the time only lasted 4 months, and it was because of massive budget cuts in the Canadian Forces. That incident was what brought the CAR to the spotlight in my belief.

[jadger1871]

@hewittdj1 The Vandoos also have a battalion in Valcartier

[hewittdj1]

@fightingBRITISH Also, the old Canadian Aribrone Regiment was also more of a 'special forces' group then an airborne regiment. At the time they were our 'special forces/rapid deployment' unit. now we have JTF-2 aswell as CSOR, Canadian Special Operations Regiment

[bitchesontape]

@hewittdj1 asweel as task force arrowhead

[SupportOurTroopsCF]

@fightingBRITISH It's true what "hewittdj1" has said, also our special forces are considered our airborne regiments. Just as they were before Somalia (Joint Tast Force - which is why it has now been brought back as Joint Task Force 2) Support Our Troops !

[thunder192k]

@fightingBRITISH well we stoped using airborn regiment in ww2 i think not sure but all i know we dont have it any more

[britishfetishman101]

i wanna be a para for ppcli one day!!

[CrazyMunky84]

@britishfetishman101 No you don't. I'm there right now and it's garbage. Jumping is fun that's it and everything else is gay.

[basrah80]

Improper drill on the complete malfunction.

[survivorhfx]

@basrah80

[Akaoushi]

[ShadowDeathBl1tz]

I wanna be Canadian Paratrooper for the RCR one day.

[skrinjy39]

@ShadowDeathBl1tz same man same

[TheLincolnWorld]

@ShadowDeathBl1tz All Canadian soldiers are trained to parachute. its basic training

[ShadowDeathBl1tz]

@TheLincolnWorld Actually,your wrong. Parachuting is a CF course which can be taken by all members of the ifantry its not manditory.

[unknowwn1990]

@TheLincolnWorld LMAO..... really? I guess i must've missed that week at BMQ.... because I didn't take a jump course while i was in St. Jeans :P

[TheLincolnWorld]

@unknowwn1990 Lieutenant Casito Second class i believe, told me he taken it. i guess it might be an air element thing.

[unknowwn1990]

@TheLincolnWorld I dunno man, almost anyone can end up taking a jump course if they choose to, but its defiantly not in BMQ or basic training.

[CrazyMunky84]

@ShadowDeathBl1tz Good god don't do it. It's awful. The parachuting is fun. Every other aspect is retarded.

[SwordofManticorE]

I did my training there in late 1984. Do they still swim the olympic pool? I hated it lol.

[susupoosa]

@SwordofManticorE lol, ye they do

[SwordofManticorE]

@susupoosa My nephew deployed to Afghanistan last May, and I am encouraging him to take the course.

[BCoy2Pacman]

as low as 800ft don't British paras go as low as 300ft

[BaconTV123]

@BCoy2Pacman ya but at 300ft you have less time to pull #2 parachute if #1 do work

[TheFunky57]

@BCoy2Pacman The lowest altitude admissible under emergency conditions is 400ft for us Canadians, which is freaking me out just thinking about it... The lowest I jumped was 800 ft and that was low enough lol

[DavidForce]

this is some hardcore shit!!

[lettumz]

Fantastic Vid
