Brings back some serious memories at Ft. Bragg. 3319 DIVARTY. In this video you see the air force parachute on one of the jumpmasters. It's a funny looking gray thing but when this thing opens is a white chute. And the way they jump with it. Well i call a tally-ho type style running out head first. Funny thing to see. Always wished to jump with this chute to test it.
Ft. Bragg 1996,D co.2/505th. My carrer ending jump was due to the DSO didn't put a chem light on top of one of heavy drops. Luck for me I found it! PLFs do no good landing on armor. Operation Royal Dragon, ever you haven't heard of it. We shouldn't have been dropped in that weather, especially for training. Not a day goes by I don't wish I could get back in. God bless the Paratroopers
bunch of legs talking about 260 feet jumps, jesus..I'm glad I mostly do little bird jumps now, I hate jumping out of c130s..I'm done with those. F combat jumps, too..it's all about hollywood jumps.
my great uncle muccio died in d-day of WWII the americans side of course 101st airborne division never got a chance to meet him cause the F------ germans killed him
You can jump from pretty low...in world war 2 some jumps were made at below 130 feet...im not saying they were pretty...but it can be done..anything below 500 you dont need to wear a reserve cuz theres no time to pull it however
Alright I'm sorry I had my facts a little off by about 13 feet.The 1/509 jumped at 143 feet in world war 2 during a training mission in england. So before you get bent out of shape look it up. I aint no fuckin Leg either my friend :)
I read about that in a book called "Airborne" (I forgot the author). Said some Colonel grew his first grey hair that day (I grew my first grey hair as a young SGT in Iraq at age 23, but OK)...
Whompo, as I'm sure some of the others here will agree, part of being a paratrooper is taking pride in your units history and lineage, all the things that we do that make us better than legs. So I know what I'm talking about when I say that Yes...they jumped at 143 feet..and yes...their chutes opened...so before you make comments just check the facts.
Leg is the term we use for people who aren't airborne. used to be only paratroopers tucked their pants legs into their boots that would leave a distinct crease on the pants. Those who didn't were called straight legs...which eventually just turned to legs. you'll also hear it as land equipped grunt sometimes
actually it started when a paratrooper back in the day did some fucked up shit and disgraced the airborne and at a div pass and review was called out in front of everyone and the DCG un bloused said troopers class A pants and anounced that he is now and will for ever be a STRAIGHT LEG!
Shogge, you obviously have no concept of the American Paratrooper...or any paratrooper for that matter. The lowest altitude that you can safely deploy a chute is 500' anything below that you will hit the ground before deployment so I will have to either chalk up your comment to you being a leg sitting around playing video games. BTW American Paratroopers hit the air in combat at 500' don't carry reserves either. During training jumps the altitude is 1250'
Off of the 200' jump tower? Norway is not known for its military prowess and definately not it's airborne capability...again you need minimum 500' in order to safely deploy your main chute and survive the landing. If you had a jump at 200' over half your jumpers would have been in the hospital with broken bones.
what is jups and jupps? again below 500' you die or seriously hurt. Can't change the laws of gravity or physics...only in video games..not in real life..but who am I to say anything...oh that's right a paratrooper...that is how I know....
with the t-10d yes but you dont know what kind of chute they are jumping. that new chute thats supposed to be in all abn units by the end if this fiscal can be jumped at 300 ft
you are retared. every jump except at the school house i have been on is 800 ft which is less the 300 mtrs now when the 173rd abn bde jumped into iraq(sorry eity duce) they jumped at between 450 and 550 ft depending on where their bird was in the chalk.
First, learn to spell "retarded" or stick with smaller words for your moronic self. Second, I was part of the DZ team for the 173rd (you didn't actually think you'd get to a DZ that hadn't been swept by pathfinders and SF did you?). You were no where near 450ft and your drop zone was secured. You're a liar.
The Finnish and Israeli paratroopers jumps at lowest hight, at about 260 feet in war-time while americans jump never less than than 990 feet. It tells about who get the best training..
And that bad training the US provides allied nations with at the US Airborne School is bound to condemn our allies, lemme tell ya. Those Canadian and Korean officers I trained with at Fort Benning told us what kind of trouble the US is in by valuing our lives.
[/sarcasm]
Find a reason other than safety and concern for soldiers lives to knock on the Airborne.
990' Bud you obviously are a nasty leg....the standard combat jump is 500' and you say Finns jump at 260..well that is a lie..the chute would not properly deploy at 260' you would get canopy and smack the ground.
Shogge, you don't know what you're talking about so "at ease with that sh*t". As a former U.S. Army Special Ops Jumpmaster at Fort Bragg, I know for a fact that training jumps from fixed-wing aircraft can be conducted as low as 800 feet. Combat jumps can be much lower, just ask our Rangers that jumped into Panama in 1989 without a reserve parachute because they would not have had time to deploy it. Stupid damn "legs" piss me off.
Pretty cool, I've always wondered what it was like after i jumped. Kudos to whoever made the video!
