Jumpmaster Sends Paratroopers out of Helicopter

[celticknight]

The slap on the helmet is your only warning. After that, you’re not leaving by your own choice

[robwernet]

Almost got his foot caught in the static line of that 3rd trooper

[dan_E_gee]

You wanna slightly concuss them so they momentarily forget they're jumping from a perfectly good helo

[positivevibrations]

Uber eats really stepping up their game 😂

[LoveTheLord]

Dude is getting payed to slap some heads nice

[ZipZiegler]

Never has butt scooching been more intense and dramatic.

[Clamliquior]

This is not the “duck duck goose” I remember as a kid 😂

[Datsick]

That has to be scary and awesome . I was a grunt but I hate being up that high so I definitely never considered going to jump school ever

[robster]

This could be a really cool version of duck duck goose!

What is the yellow line for if its attached to the people. ??

[norbertgabler]

You cannot pay me enough to jump out of a still functioning airplane. Must be some kind of ARMY thing.

That brings back great memories of "cross training" with members of the USMC in Camp Leguene NC in Feb 1973. At the time was a Royal Marine, serving in 40 Commando RM (recce troop). During the cross training period, we were invited to "jump" with our hosts - we naturally said yes, assuming it would be from a Hercules C130! When we reached the airfield - it was a field!" There were a dozen or more Huey Helicopters lined up. It soon became apparent what type of aircraft we were going to use. We had never jumped from a helicopter - of any description! - before. That said, we were all eger to "give it ago!" After the briefest of "talk throughs" on the fitting and use of our hosts equipment and despatch routine, our jump height was 1200ft. After putting on our chutes, we were issued with 2 red hand held smoke flares. When we asked why? we were "informed" the DZ was in the middle of a huge Aligator Reserve! I'm pleased to say no flares were activated on landing. It was a "TERRIFIC" experience, regretably never repeated.

Brings back great memories one day I jumped four times in one morning, parachutes have a expiration date we jumped off till they ran out of fuel

[ramtron]

Jumpmaster looks like " I am the captain now" 😂

[youtubeconnollyfamily]

I’m guessing that yellow strap pulls the parachute for them?

[lward]

The most terrifying and exhilarating thing I've ever done.

I graduated Basic Parachute school at Fort Bragg, North Carolina in 1969. After that, I started the Derby phase of Ranger school and quickly had my ass handed to me in a paper sack! Went to Vietnam and spent two back-to-back tours why did I reenlist after I could go home ask anyone who was there at that time and was an infantryman 11 bravo! They were so short on seasoned grants they would give you a $5000 credit at any GM dealer, Ford dealership but NOT Rambler - AMC. With that $5000 in the form of a certificate, you could go to the big PX in Saigon or in Da Nang depending on where your duty station was. You also got a five day in country R and R .(rest and recuperation) To use at Eagle Beach 🏝️ our (101st Airborne Division recovery resort. No saluting! ) At the PX or post exchange there was a representative in the back, taking orders for whatever car maker he works for. I wanted a new GTO. Fully loaded! So that pissed away $3700 right there. The rest of the money the dealer would try to fuck out of you once you arrived! things like lifetime wax poly tamale racing floor mats, etc. he showed me a picture of the new GTO and I hated it I wanted a 66 or 67 but they could only give me new cars specially built. The guy over at Ford told me to come over for a second. He told me I could get a 1970 GT 500 Shelby mustang for $5000, the only caveat was it was a traveling demo via truck and needed buffing out . “ look, I just got this telegram this morning. That is how hot this deal is. I told him to wrap it up for me and he needs to tell her grab the people back that this car is mine” even with all my field experience, my pay in Vietnam was less than $4000 a year and I had 83% chance of never going home alive. My second tour was a desk job! Processing KIA Americans to Dover Delaware if they lived East of the Mississippi and Travis AFB if they lived West of the Mississippi . Every morning we would leave in a giant chinook twin rotor helicopter, Stop at seven different medical facilities and take custody of the Soldiers and Marines that made the ultimate sacrifice. We would be getting in about 14:00 hrs. and the Graves registration truck would be waiting for us. They took all these black body bags across the runway to the joint services casualty processing center. Most of the time we had 6-7 soldiers and Marines, once a sapper successfully breached the parameter at the 25th Infantry division, running through the Barricks area throwing sapper charges while men slept, 27 KIA and many evacuated to Japan to the Burn center at Yakota air force base near Tokyo, Having Night time perimeter duty was seen as a punishment! But it wasn’t it was the most important job in my opinion, and I’ve seen numerous assholes, talking, loud back-and-forth at each other, smoking pot, just generally ignoring everything in front of them.
Thinking the trip wire and claymore mines with trip wires would stop any slant! They had Russian sniper rifles with insanely accurate sights! With three of them and the silencers, they could lay back in the bush, and pick off a whole lineup of guards without making a sound other than people falling over behind the lines
And then they run wild in black silk pajamas that make them disappear! They start throwing satchel charges inside Barricks and inside helicopters and also one of them will make for the fuel farm and blow it up and these guys are so slick and so fast they don’t even get caught! Wow, I just went to make a simple statement that I’ve written gone with the win! Soon I’m gonna be 80 years old! But I still think the same way I did back then. When I got to the Ford dealer in Los Angeles, my car was there! I have never been in any vehicle with so much explosive power after a couple of days I knew it was not right for me. I went back to see how much they would pay me and to my surprise I was offered $5000 I took it I found a almost brand new 1967 GTO in just the right color and with everything I wanted so I bought it for 2500 and put the rest in savings.
