  • Brings back memories. Ft Bragg 1970 trainIng group.

  • What company?

  • @4EVRgunnin Sorry for the late reply. I was with B Co. from 1989 - 1993. We actually have a Facebook page. 

  • And that's sicliy dz for our bragg troopers. You can tell by manchester rd

  • I am currently in the 112th and one of their JMs. If you still read your comments, you should get in touch with the bn. We just celebrated the 25th anniv. Had a history video done and all. Great video! I'll try to get some of our casa and blackhawk ones up.

  • MC1 I LOVE U

  • very nice video !

  • wow that looks soooo kewl

  • I was C2/504 from 79 to 82 i made one tailgate from a C-130 man it was the best damn jump ever

  • Tailgate exit from the Herc is a blast.. did it at Bragg in 1965-1967.. but I like the side door out of the C141.. it's smoother. Fuck Yea... 82nd all the way.. Im 67 now but the memory is fresh.. Loved it.

  • Did anybody get hit in the face by those D-bags? That shit looks crazy. I would love a tailgate jump. Looks fun.

  • It does look like cherries, however that one guy looked just like a buddy of mine at JRTC OPFOR! However we all know that cherries do not get to do tail gates on their jumps at Jump school. He must have been cheesen to get to tail gate.

  • static line does not get any better than a ramp jump. Once you've jumped ramp, jumping door is never the same

  • A hollywood tailgate...How the hell did you manage that as a cherry? I'm sittin on 30 and still havn't got a tailgate damnit! Though I have a blackhawk & Italian jump X under my belt...still lucky!

  • Looks like a plane load of Cherries, all Hollywood and no patches. But, all are brothers.

  • Actually I got to this unit in 1989 and this is somewhere around my 60th or so jump, and most of us have been to Panama (Just Cause) and/or Desert Storm....The quality is a bit shoddy, but at :36 you can see our jump master has an SF patch on his right shoulder. But thanks for the post!

  • Just a little nudge....from an old Eagle. :-)

  • Hoorah!!! Didn't mean any disrespect, but can't be called a cherry if I wasn't..... ;-)

  • This is the only thing I miss about the Army!

  • ....funny how we always forget all the pre-jump BS.... hahaha. STRIKE HOLD!

  • Miss having the old knees in the breeze.

  • ah, fun jumps

    lil before my time though!

  • How can you tell a BTDT from a Youtube wannabee?

    The BTDT says "cool video" and moves on..

    The wannabee posts some BS that has nothing to do with the video, like "George Bush is only in Iraq for oil" or "you Americans suck"..something that is guaranteed to lower the IQ of anyone reading.

    Bunch of armchair quarterbacks...lol

  • awesome video

  • Thanks!!

  • you aint the best army you have all the gear and no idea thats y u lost vietnam

  • Wow, someone lost in the 70s... dude, get a clue...and or a life

  • your right we did lose didnt we...not...we are a giant pussy army rite...again wrong if we were what you are claiming us to be we wouldnt be were we are today...and thats nobody on this fucking earth fucks with us except for thoes coward ass terrorists. nice try though cupcake maybe next time ;)

  • have the best gear? your a dumbass. ever hear of a body armor called dragon skin? its the best out there, with the ability to protect you against multiple 7.62 rounds. yet the army isnt allowed to use it for some gay reason.

    and especially during vietnam, yea, we started out with the nice m14, but then they replaced that with the once shitty m16. while all the enemy had the very powerful and never jamming AK47.

  • Read Army times, points out all the downfalls compared to the SAPPI plates we use right now. I'll stick with the stuff i'm issued.

  • *You're

    also, shut the hell up and go back to watching your shitty little futureweapons.

  • what does future weapons have to do w/ anything?

  • Your little dragonskin and M-14 vs M-16 vs AK-47 rant just sounds like the kinda crap that show loves to sensationalize.

  • you dont need future weapons to know about all that stuff

  • not to mention the climate of vietnam, which our soldiers were not used to because they lived in the US most or all their life. read a text book dude

  • Ramp door jump! Very well captured!

  • YEAH !!! GO !! GO !! GO !! that is a crazy ass damn good job you got there dude

  • Great video!

  • To dangerous for the 82nd??? My buddy was in the Eighty deuce, and they are the craziest jumpers in the world. Sorry to hear that. Ramp exits are great!!! And thanks for the post!!

  • 3 things could mess up a perfect fun jump .1 GOD. 2. mother nature.3 tge air force. btw r u doing a c130 ramp exit. we dont do them nowadays here in the 82d they said its to dangerous to get a towed jumper.

  • only jumping cause the Air Force is driving the plane

  • Thank God for the Air Force!!!!

  • Look at you guys, jumping out of a PERFECTLY good airplane! heh heh, you're a braver man than I.

  • Little anecdote...on my first jump ever the Air Force jump master couldn't get the right door of the C-130 open. After two other jump masters unsuccessfully tried to help they just moved my caulk to the left side of the airplane and made a third pass over the DZ.

    I tell that story anytime somebody says something about a "perfectly" good airplane.

  • American Soldiers are the BEST...This video PROVES that!!!
