U.S. ARMY RANGER WATER JUMP

A group of U.S. Army Rangers, assigned to the 5th Ranger Training Battalion, conducts an Airborne Jump out of a UH-60 Blackhawk Helicopters, assigned to Charlie Company, 185th Assault Helicopter Battalion, into Lake Lanier at War Hill Park, Dawsonville, Ga., May 9, 2017. The annual training event, hosted by the 5th Ranger Training Battalion, gives Rangers an opportunity to become proficient in water landings, while giving the local community a chance to see the Rangers train in the Lake Lanier area.

Love how quiet it gets once you’ve deployed. People find it hard to believe that you sometimes can hear conversations on the ground while you are descending….

Gators must be thinking "wow, food falling from the sky"

I once tripped and fell in my little sisters kiddie pool, most intense moment of my life..




Thank You for Your service brothers!!

This is what my grandfather did - he transported Rangers and other special forces as a Huey pilot. Big respect for the Rangers and the pilots they ride with!!!

Dudes got into a helicopter were able to parachute out and got recovered faster than my girl could get ready for dinner

Wow the graphics on this new battlefield game are amazing!

[marcosteidel]

anyone here because this randomly popped up on your recommendations?

[rosemarie]

Thanks fo not putting music over it. It presents a much immersive experience to be able to hear the actual noise and voices love it

it's so refreshing to see people walking up to a helicopter without ducking.

You parachuted too early.. by the time you hit the water, everyone already got level 2 helmet, full set of weapons, and a nice backpack..

Army life is actually pretty boring. You don't get to do stuff like this everyday, or shoot guns everyday. PMCS, Sergeants time training, EO/Sexual harassment classes, etc. That's gonna take up a lot of your time.
Also, my airborne friend said these guys will have to clean and dry their parachutes before giving them to the Riggers. So fun!

That is crazy how the helicopter just is up and away in no time… my stomach felt it!

As for the jumping… you are very brave men and I’m so grateful for the time, effort, courage and dedication you put into learning these skills…

You are really living life and meeting massive challenges.

Greatest respect and army mom’s love to you all- past, present and future

I'd be more afraid of getting eaten by an alligator than jumping out of the helicopter.

Amazing filming Rangers! No shaking, no screaming, no panic. Just a calm drift into the water. Beautiful! Thank you for your service!

Thank You Army Ranger Men. I am glad that the USA has men who train for battle. Many Thanks. God Bless and Protect You !

I’m absolutely terrified of heights, but…maybe it’s the altitude they jumped from or it’s the landscape being so peaceful, I really enjoyed this and thought how nice it would be to be in the camera man’s position.

Fearless heroes, unselfish volunteers who serve our country... Thank You.

Balls of steel are great buoyancy devices! God Bless America! Thank you for your service!

Nice one. Brings back a lot of memories! Been in the South African defence force in the 90's and our water jumps were a bit different then (it may have evolved by now). We did not have any flotation devices, so while on descent you had to basically unbuckle the harness - after pulling the leg straps low on your legs, so that it acts as a "chair" - and then at the last moment you would literally jump out of the harness into the water. I think this method in the video is much better :-)

I jumped off my diving board into my swimming pool once. Scared the crap out of me.
