AIRBORNE

[jrohrback]

Best Army school by far. I would go back to Airborne School in a heartbeat if I could. I used to drink beer at Subway every night after training just to ease the soreness of ground week. Good times, great battle buddies, and priceless memories. Airborne All The WAY!!!!!!

I found a nest of fire ants in one of the sawdust pits, my arm was messed up bad! Thankfully one of the blackhats understood why I was moving instead of remaining in the front leaning rest.

[bobbyelzy1988]

[SirSabin]

I lost count of the number of times we watched this video while sitting in the harness shed over the past two days. Glad that's over. The song has been stuck in my head. "Airborne's rough so you've got to be tough! Can you make it? Airborne!" What a classic.

[rpm12091]

[jesseperc]

@228Brendon dumbass the t-10 was used since nam but you wouldnt know that you broke dick hippie

[djinn314]

I may not have been the best "Paratrooper" but good god this video hasn't made me laugh as hard. I mean my eyes fucking hurt. HuuuuuuuuuuuuuOOOAHHH. Airborne.

[valborne29]

Just watched this video for the last two days in the harness shed. Airborne!

[2footpunkzor]

Went through jump school down Long Street in Bragg. No tower other than the 34 footer. Last run to the marshalling area at Pope then, jump week. Stayed pretty much airborne until I retired. Sorry that I'm too old to jump now.

THE WILD HAPPY DAYS!!!!

[Fenix9990]

Oh god the nightmares of the harness shed you could watch this 1000 times or that damn brief video needless to say I passed out and got put on shoot shakedown.

-h-minus, all the way, airborne, hooah, and all that jazz

[inski65]

WOW! Crazy to see that nothing has changed over the years at Airborne school. When I saw the towers at basic in 99, I told my Drill Sgt. that I would never go Airborne, now I'm jumping out of planes. One of the best decisions I ever made. AIRBORNE!!!

[steveabn]

Yes I remember this went through airborne Nov 77 and Blackhat May 81 thru Aug 82

[GravelGrunt]

Ground your equipment and run! Now that was PT the way it should be. :)

[TheHoomaikai]

@georgewarren3 I went through Jump School in 1977, and this is the recruiting video my Recruiter showed me. Steel Pots, OD starched fatigues,and spit shinned boots,

we were always a mess at the end of the day.

[combatengineer5]

I'm in school right now and they still show this in the harness shed so hard to watch without laughing I feel like I'm watching NFL films or some weird porn LOL

[giveup18]

Its sad that we would look forward to watching this, just to break the monotony of the harness shed haha

[leggonator500]

Forrest Gump at Airborne 

[georgewarren3]

Anyone know what year this was done?

[Lesbifrens]

OMG THIS IS ON YOUTUBE, THEY USED TO MAKE US WATCH THIS FOR 6 HOURS IN THE HARNESS SHED HOLY FUCK

[airsofter22]

@Lesbifrens Fuck the harness shed. Worse than 30th AG

[Lesbifrens]

[660Raptor01]

@Lesbifrens LOL they still make us watch this video for 6 hours in the harness shed!!

[Wishawq]

@Lesbifrens

[PaladinD]

Charlie Company played this a lot in the harness shed. Entertaining video nonetheless. AIRBORNE!

[fatdump]

The jumpmaster always cracks me up!

[Gbulldawg75]

Holy Shit! we watched this at least 100 times in the hanger to keep us from falling asleep before jumping!

[jimmymac1960]

Anyone know who's singing from 4:40 on? Great old tune...

[spcjhwqc]

@jimmymac1960 did you ever find out what the name of the song was?

[jimmymac1960]

@spcjhwqc, no I sure didn't, although I recognize it. My young son who recently stood in the doorway & earned his wings likes that song. Great to hear the younger generation enjoying that older music. Thanks for any help, jim
