Fort Benning Airborne School in 30 Seconds | #Shorts

3 weeks in ~30 seconds.

Fall, fall and fall again - Airborne School is all about repetition.

Fort Benning's Basic #Airborne Course trains #Paratroopers to provide the Department of Defense with Soldiers, Sailors, Airmen, and Marines to conduct airborne operations anytime, anywhere.

Soldiers: training to jump out of airplanes.
The music: "AEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAEAE"

[patriotgamerz]

“On a scale from 1-10, how annoying do you want the music to be?”
“At least 25.”

Week 1: separate the boys from the men
Week 2: separate the fools from the men
Week 3: the fools jump

Not pictured: the mandatory 100 miles you have to run within those 3 weeks

My sister graduated last week! Thank you to all the men and women who serve this great country.

I like how there just that one marine getting trained with the soldiers

[williamseddon]

Wish I could like it more than once. God Bless The Airborne Infantry!

I went to Airborne School and Graduated on 27 May 1979. I'd do it all over again. Best Military School I ever went too.

Best part of airborne school is all the “tough” cats that were too scared to jump so they drop out lmao those that made it into the plane were a given a gentle nudge out the door.

I leave for Ft Benning tomorrow. I’ll be the fourth generation of airborne in my family, the next to carry the silver wings. I can’t wait for the adrenaline, the rush, the insanity, and above all else- to experience the deafening silence of your first jump.

Edit: I just graduated! All of the replies and support was really nice, and very much appreciated!

Excellent, too standard, hugs from Brazil🇧🇷🇺🇸👊💪

[jasonmacneil]

God bless and keep these brave, patriotic men!

[HipShot]

Graduated 2001. When it was Home of the Infantry. Now
It’s something else.

[politicallyinsensitive]

The weeks of running and learning how to "correctly" plow yourself into the ground at 20-30mph

[stephenhaney]

The most useful thing that whole 3 weeks besides actually jumping is the zip line tower, that shit is scarier than actually jumping from the plane

[SuzukiRizla]

The fact that the new paratroopers will never feel the nut crushing opening shock of a t-10 is so just so sad.

[brianoswald]

About six hours of training (three if you’re sharp) crammed into three weeks of “hooah” Armyness. The actual jumps were fun. The tedious music accurately reflects the overall mood. It’s a common denominator for being “high speed” & the first step in a series of never ending gut punches to become that which you’d dreamt of being since childhood.

Remember to save all of your medical reports for your VA claims later in life 🤣

Been there, done that, 50 yrs ago, Airborne! Once a paratrooper always a paratrooper.
