because they soo down to earth

Roughly 20 years I stood in a line at the AcFac at Bragg waiting to get my records screened and join the class. It took me 12 years just to get a slot to the school. After my records check passed, they said enter the classroom. It was filled with SF guys like myself (mostly older guys(!) yeah 30+ was old back then), young SEALs, even younger CCT guys, some older Marines. All of us SF guys were looking around with grins on our faces, we'd finally made it. A few years later I make it to MFFJM and passed JMPI on the pretest. I went with two other guys from my team, they all made it too. I think we broke the record for the most guys from one team passing JM in the same class. I watched the video with a lot of nostalgia, thinking of my SEAL roommate in basic and the bacchanalian weekends we had in Mexico and Yuma, the AF CCT instructor who said to both of us let's do a three-way on our fifth(?) jump because we were flying so well (still remember the screaming of the DZSO "who just did a three-way!!! You better own up to it now! And the CCT just winked at us) the SEAL instructor who gave me blood wings in the JM course. And of course all those great TDY trips doing refreshers on the Team. Civilian life sucks.

Being a free fall instructor is definitely fun.

I got put on a detail while waiting for Airborne school to start to be the "training dummie" for some Ranger guys to practice their JMPI before their qualification test or something. I was with them for a week and it was absurd the amount of different details they had to know and the speed at which they had to do it. We literally did check after check after check for an entire week straight, and theres no telling how many times they did that before me. We practiced so much that i even memorized the steps. Its easy for people to overlook all the different skillsets these guys have, and what seems like a "simple check of gear" is actually a LOT of different things they need to know. It looks easy because they are so good at it they make it easy. The amount of practice and time they put into learning this stuff, and the knowledge these guys have is incredible.

My Dad was in the 1st SF...WW11-Korea-and Vietnam Vet who retired as a Halo Instructor... He was Military all the way until his passing from that "Agent Orange" crap...Great Man who i miss dearly....

Attended the MFF Course at Fort Bragg in 1976, long before Wind Tunnels and only instructors were allowed to jump what was referred to then as SQUARE Canopy parachutes. My qualifying jumps were done with round canopy with slip risers that were held in place with what we referred to as tuning forks. Once under canopy, we removed the tuning forks and could manipulate the risers but in truth we had little control over the canopy. When we transitioned to the square canopy (referred to then as the seven cell) we were first pulled behind a truck on Sicily Drop Zone under an inflated canopy to demonstrate we could control the parachute. I later completed the MFF Jump Master course and by the time I retired had logged almost 300 jumps. I just turned 64 and have to say most mornings I feel everyone of those rough landings, but if I had a do over, I wouldn't change a thing and often think fondly of the insane things we did. My wife of 38-years remembers my teammates bringing me home with bruised ribs, twisted knees, cuts and gashes from the inevitable pitch black tree landing miles from the Drop Zone. Great times

Absolutely an awesome production! Brings back hundreds of memories. I had the honor of being a USAF Instructor Jump Master/Freefall Instructor at the USAF Academy 1973-76. Did lots of training at Marana Air Park, AZ--Not too far from Yuma & Yeah, those early morning Arizona Sunrise jumps were breathtakingly spetacular! One time, the plane made 3 passes without anybody jumping or dropping a WDI. The entire load fell asleep on the way up! The pilot had to "Zero G" the plane to wake someone up! We could have used your coffee back then! The instructor check was, without any doubt, the most stressful check anyone of us ever faced. We had to fit, load, supervise, & drop 6 "Students" (our instructors) If we passed by safely dropping all 6 "Students", we'd also get to jump into the DZ. If not, it was a lloooonnnngggg, quiet, miserable, lonely, airplane ride back to the airstrip with our "Students" glaring at us the whole way back. Nobody EVER passed that first Instructor JM Check! It's great to see how far the programs have come. We would never touch a student in freefall. Only observe & critique on the ground. No vertical wind tunnels in those days...just 10-60 second freefalls up to 10 jumps a day to learn the craft. Those tunnels must be a blast! (pun intended). I can hardly imagine getting a month's worth of freefall time in just a day in a vertical wind tunnel! Great video! Thanks again for bringing back such great memories! Bravo Zulu Lt Col Jet

@jetdriver1jetdriver194

2 жыл бұрын

@@1anre Yep. First, "G" in this case refers to the force of gravity the jumpers felt in relation to the plane. We normally feel around 1 G or one times the force of gravity. To "Zero G" the aircraft, the pilot pushes the yoke or stick foreward pitching the aircraft over. During this maneuver, the jumpers would feel weightless or Zero G, and tend to float around the cabin of the aircraft if not secured by their seatbelts. (The Astronauts trained for weightlessness in a plane they called "the Vomit Comet " that would do this manuver. That tends to wake sleeping jumpers up! One note: This was done with only experienced jumpers on board. I don't think I ever saw any student jumper relaxed enough to fall asleep! Hope this was helpful. Cheers, Lt Col Jet

I'm going to offer a brief tribute to my West Point Class of 1978 classmate Frank Austin Hardy, who died on 25 March 1981, while attending the US Army Special Forces Freefall Training School, held in those days at Ft. Bragg, NC. Frank was jumping a Dragon anti-tank missile, and it somehow got tangled up with his parachute when it deployed during his jump, and he basically "burned in" without an open chute. We had attended (and graduated from) US Army Ranger School together, and we had served together in the 2nd Brigade of the 82nd Airborne Division, before Frank went on to Special Forces. At West Point, we had discovered that we had attended First Grade together in 1962-63, at Mulberry Elementary School in Richmond (Henrico Country) Virginia! Frank was a great athlete. I attended his funeral in Virginia, and - I will always miss him. RLTW Frank!!!!

In '67 I had some time and a few choices before deployment. HALO, SF Scuba, or Ranger class. I took Scuba.

Just amazing we have the best operators in world in our I have so much respect for these individuals!!!!!

I love these videos that show the military schools. I always assumed that military training involved a lot of yelling, but I'm learning there is a lot of education too

If you attend any recruitment training for a Special Operations unit, they won't tell at you for your mistakes. They'll just simply show you once and if you fail the second time, they will simply just fail you. Yelling is just a waste of time.

Yelling is a sign of weakness!

Nah only basic training where all the fresh new recruits come in has yelling. All these specialized schools would rather teach u some really cool and important stuff rather than yelling.

These guys are so badass, thank you for this great content! And thank them for their service! God Bless America!

Thank you for sharing this and thank you to the brave men and women who served in the are armed forces 💪💪💪🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸

Great video highlighting an elite group! Way to go Marty

It was good of the school to let you in to film and you did a great job in filming and editing of showing how skilled and professional these guys are, Great and inspiring content, well done!

I'm Airborne qualified but this...this is my next goal. This is the coolest shit I have ever seen and I hope that I'll get to do it one day

If I ever hit the lottery I'm having the wind tunnel installed in my mansion for sure

Thankful for guys like these!

Just a tremendously informative piece of work. Thank you for posting this.

Well done, fellas! Nice to see we've moved from spring loaded pilot chutes to throw-out rigs. The "Uff!" at the opening was an indicator that this wasn't going to be a fluff-hype video. Thanks.

AFF on steroids. Wind tunnel speeds up the basic freefall skills multiple times. Great job! De Opresso Liber!

Rest in peace, Anthony 'Tony' Repasky. MFFI 369.

A great man, a great instructor and a warrior. He is sorely missed. He was a stud in Iraq.

@@redoubtranger8903 If you can navigate to my channel, I have a short video of me jumping from the Perrinne Bridge in Twin Falls Idaho. Tony shot the video for me, right after making his very first fixed object freefall from 495'. He didn't need or want any assist with his BASE jump, making it look like he'd done it all before. There is also a Tony Repasky Memorial video by Stacy on my channel. Tony worked at my Colorado DZ from 1998-2003, was a huge asset, and a great friend. I miss him.

Outstanding job to all who participated in this video!

When I see a new video pop up and I'm hoping for even more bad-ass content, I'm never disappointed.

What a wonderful experience. Take the leap i did.

This gives me hope in America 🇺🇸. LETS GOOOO BOYS!!!!

Plenty of high speed malfunctions to identify and rectify. Respect to those Instructors and Instructor Candidates

Brings back memories from when I went in Nov/Dec 1989.

Very cool. Thanks for this guys! Enjoyed every minute.

Trained with Taylor in Eloy a few times(Archangel).

That was an epic one guys. I had every reason to listen intently. My father Terry Jickells was 22 SAS for 22 years and they called him 'Jump Master Jick.' He was well versed in all these advanced techniques and had some kit, which we would play with as kids at home. Thanks for sharing - that was a help. Mark UK

@Ronald Richards Yes it is. I keep that mounted picture from the front page of the Tucson paper on my wall.

I've lived in Hawaii for 30 years now. My first 30 were in Yuma. Still get funny looks & comments when I say where I'm from. Best community anywhere though. Great people, Civ. AND Mil.. My Mom worked in YPG C/O's offices for almost 20 years. Still have high school buddies out there who cannot be named. They'd have to kill me. One made that famous still-shot from the 'early '80's of a missile inches from penetrating a tank downrange. Growing up as a "Desert Rat" with MCAS nearby, by the time we were in our early teens we could identify most aircraft by sound, F-4, A-6, AV8B, C5A, Hueys, Cobras, Apaches, A-10's from Davis Monthan, you name it. Judging from some of those beer guts there's been a few Nachos & Margaritas killed at Chretin's. In the summer it's not unusual aircraft are grounded when temps. pass 124F - air density/lift issues.

Fantastic, MMPC eluded my enlistment of six years. Very cool

Great presentation, excellent music choices, excellent production, the end sequence gave me that wonderful feeling you get working with military professionals....

Thanks for the great video with insight on how our military train for these kind of ops.

I love how they are told to jump without any actual free fall experience. That's how to learn! 5701 jumps under my belt and I wish I'd had been able to jump solo my first
