Ah the memories!!! Great videos!! I went in August 1997. It was WAYYYYYY HOTTTTT! Ever see someone colapse from heat exhaustion? I have! And Black Hats gave water, but said screw that LEG!! Loved it. Our class had like 50-60% pass rate. I felt proud to earn my wings in that class. We did not do the 250 ft tower when I went. We also had a short jump week due to Labor Date. 2 days of 2 jumps in one day. Then the wings jump. Hollywood Baby! Love it..great Video!!!
when you jump from the aircraft, how do you avoid getting your parachute snagged onto the elevator part of the aircraft's tail end? has it ever even happened?
Wow this videos shows a quite a few paratroopers dragging along the dz. lol The wind can cause a lot of tension on your risers that it makes it harder to pull the release. 6:45 shows a jump refusal I bet.
I cannot wait to go to Airborne school next summer. This looks like it's a blast. I watched all 9 videos, one of the best hour and a half I have ever spent.
Its all fun and games until your ass gets up there, some people have issues after the first jump, but that was the worst one for me...i was scared shit less.
These are great videos. I watched every one. Hopefully it will provide some insight so when i go to airborne school this summer I will be more prepared. Thanx
Man I don't even remember what class I was in, but I do remember that field. Some genius let his chute drag him halfway to the meeting point. He disconnected real quick when he got dragged through an anthill.
I went through jump school in dec. '68, we jumped C-119's, graduated right before Christmas. We had two killed on our 4th jump, knew them both. I remember one soldier's last name was Able and that he was from Florida. He and the other soldier got tangled together in mid-air and flamed in.
The Black Hat's were all over us afterwards. They must have got in big trouble, You gotta be alert and think. Things can happen.

I'm more worried about airborne school than SF school....i'm sure the fear will be washed away after the first jump though.

Finally a video (series) that doesn't glamorize jump school. Certainly one of the best times I ever had next to basic.

There's always "that guy" who pops his reserve for no good reason...probably got scared, or just maybe just curious to see what would happen.

I noticed two jump refusals, one was close enough to be shoved out though. First time I've ever seen one. I graduated class 41-06 Dco.
