weather guy: *whispers* "sir, we have 32 knot winds. We have to scratch the jump."
*5 minutes later*
Jumpmaster: "Chalk 101 on your feet! Five knot winds! Perfect jumping weather! Let's go!"

[blueduck]

any jump you can walk away from is a good one!

As a retired paratrooper, I remember my first jump in a T10 parachute out of a C119. Col. Welch (seen in the movie Green Berets) was driving around the drop zone in his Jeep checking on his student jumpers. My parents viewed my first jump and them attended my Jump School graduation. Good luck to all members of the 82nd Abn Div. Love you all.

I only miss 3 things. My brothers, the tax payer funded ammo supply and jumping.

This trooper paid attention during training. Only one way out of a cigarette roll. Good job young man. Also take note feet and knees together on exit. 82 ON THE LOOSE

Many D-Day paratroopers leapt out over France for what would be their final mission 75 years ago this June 5th. Never forget their ultimate sacrifice for the defence of Freedom and Liberty!

[chinook]

That Drop zone hasn't changed one single bit in 40 years! LOL!

[jeffwalters]

Makes every Paratrooper tingle inside watching this. AATW

My great-uncle was a paratrooper. He fought in the Pacific theater of WW II. I wish I'd asked him more about what it was like back in those days as compared to today.

As a former army paratrooper (173rd ABN) that has now gone and gotten my skydiving license I just can't imagine going back to PLFs every single time and no toggles. I flare my parachute and land standing up every time now. Were I still AD I doubt I would go back on jump status at this point.

That grunt when he’s trying to get the twists out haha

[Thatguy]

Thanks for the cool vid! Glad we have the airborne.

[cliveroughley]

What an amazing sight from beneath the canopy, great video as usual!

[naturesownplace]

That's some unbottled Hoooah right there!

[robertvaughn]

Been jumping since 1980... still jumping!

[fb]

Love seeing the beast c17 dropping more troops off in the distance!

[ericg]

Yea! Love it! ... Ironically, there are SO many hours of prep, for a jump that happens so fast... Night jumps were even LONGER to get ready. ALL THE WAY!

[shakamakana]

This guy is pretty quiet! I usually breathe a loud sigh of relief, and talking (expletives) to myself, coming down 😎👍 My rear PLF was always feet, ass, and helmet 😳🤣🥴 '69, 11B4P, 173rd Airborne 👍👍Never did any jumps in RVN, but did 19 jumps with the SF Reserves one year later 😁😎👍 AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY

My dad was in the 82nd in the 1950s and 60s (and the 101st too). Stayed in as a reserve until mandatory retirement at age 60. He loved jumping.

My God, you jumped from the plane and it seems like you landed with ease. Unlike the old chutes
