This is one of the all-time greatest videos. Used as a motivator every day in Army classes far and wide. Kudos to the jumpmaster who made it.

This guy was my ROTC instructor at military school. He truly changed my life for the better.

those of us who been there done that, know every move hes making and yea it was great and funny good job, those of you who are legs, dont have a clue ha ha.

German ex-jumpmaster here. Understood every single move. Glück ab

​@@Nik-nd1mv well the guys from portuguese recce dudes had moonshine. we played voley ball in our free time. Some Germans had legs broken, because they landed on an Airfield on tarmac not the grass at night. :( ( I believe it was an assault of it) still, the germans I met there are great.. I wish I remember their names..

I haven't seen this is years! Thank you KZread. This is a classic.

Took me back 24 years. I surely miss jumping.

In 4:54 he just described life in the 82d in its entirety without saying a word.

5 months out of the Army, 8 months since my last jump. I wish I had a version of this of my own on DVD. If I had the $millions, I'd have Steven Spielberg direct it for me. I'd get the same guy to do it again, right there on Sicily. I want to jump again so much! I guess I will have to live vicariously through this video to satisfy my broken heart. I hope I can make it to All-American week next May...

Loved it he went through that whole routine with such ease I was impressed. Well done, understood it all.

4 years in the 82nd, and I've jumped out of more airplanes than I can count. This is dead on accurate, haha. I love this video.

Do you still love this video?

Damn that's great! Spent 20 years on jump status and went to Jumpmaster school in '85. Best damn video I've seen in forever!

My dad was a Jump Master, US Army 1st SFG. This video's excellent. Prost,

This brings back memories. If I'd failed jumpmaster school the first time my shadow would have never darkened the doorway to that school again. Proud to be a master blaster...

Brilliant! Airborne! All the way! Best time of my life! I miss it everyday!

this is a parachute jump master (equivalence) running through all the drills from dispatching his paratroopers, jumping himself, clearing the DZ and rallying. he covers all the funny things that you worry will happen to you, like getting a false wind speed, having your CE not lower, falling asleep etc any paratroopers would get a laugh out of this i think

🤣Absolutely the best video on YT!!!! I've been around the block but began Sept-Oct '81 45th Co. Fort Benning... Thank you and God Bless.......

This never gets old. My dad just retired from SF and I plan to go ROTC and then Green Beret

This one never gets old! Seems like yesterday

i love the wind reference, its always 20 knots coming to the DZ but once your over it the DZSO always tells you its 5 lol

What is America ? With out men such a this. May God bless the Men of all the Service branches. Salutations to All.

This is one of my fav's. The background audiance is great..."GET READY!"

The more I drink the more epic this is.

Best part was when his combat equipment got stuck! Haha, ain't nobody wanna land with that shit still attached.

I ALWAYS landed with my gear still attached. I would rather have a couple of bruises then to have my ruck get broken and my gear scattered all over the DZ.

Very well done! Great job and thank you all who serve. God Bless

love it! brings back great memories of the good old days! i miss jumping out of a perfectly good airplane!

I think you really have to have gone through jump school to get this and understand the humor. It must just seem like random motions to just about everyone else.

I love the way he captured the third point of flight procedure. Spot on!

That was great! Takes me back to the good ole days! Well done

Still love to watch this in 2021.

You're a youngen compared to me. Been 50 years for me.....I guess that makes me a dinosaur. Much older, move slower, but the skills still remain.

i did this "dance" for my friends and battles...for the most part they didnt get it...not airborne. but the few that got it brought back tons of memories

0:40 - 0:48 HOOK UP / NO CHECK STATIC LINE??? / CHECK EQUIPMENT. 2:10 - 2:15 Gets his 3rd line gear out from in front of him. 2:36 Makes ready. 2:49 Remembers chute. 3:50 Falls asleep...LOL! 4:18 - 4:23 Takes a piss?

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! That was hilarious! That looks like Sicily DZ Best part: falls asleep while pulling security

This is completely a day in the life of the 82nd Airborne in the mid-90's. He covered everything except maybe the 6th point of performance...take a piss!

JM since'74. This is great!

I am so glad I stumbled upon this gem of a video

Greatest Jump master training video ever!

I was seriously in tears from laughing. When I wasn't shrieking out loud. And I've had a rotten week, and really needed the laugh.

Had to have jumped out of a plane to fully appreciate this, funny and instructional, should be part of standard training.

lol... My hubby is a Airborne Soldier, and he said that is exactly what they do. he especially loves the part when the Soldier falls asleep at his post. He said he's seen that happen a million times!

What an awesome video. This sums up Airborne school in it's entirety!

this was great! Nice to know some things never change. Funny that you can tell exactly what he's referring to.

Ok I didn't get all of it but I definitely knew that it was time to go and the rest from there. Cool head gets you to the landing. Great fun to watch. Hard work to know all that and put it into that. Impressed!

Best thing I've seen in along time ALL THE WAY

That's cool. I'm turkish. Imagine that all Armed Forces in the world would make dance competitions instead of killing each other.

I am proud that we have these people in our military

if my grand father (airborne retiree) was still alive, i am 100% sure he would love this..

Absolutely awesome! Airborne!

Brings back memories, most fond, some not so fond. OOH I remember that tree landing that one time!!

LMAO! I started laughing for real at "hook up" and it didn't stop until almost the very end. The best part is when he gets smoked for sleeping while pulling security... and when he kicks the dude out the door.

I was there when this happened. Not planned or rehearsed. Was for a JRTX on Sicily DZ. Cant remeber the guys name but he was an E5 or E6 in my Bn. I believe Bravo Co 1/505 PIR, 82nd. After he did this the CSM of course made it part of the demo because that's what CSM's do, lol. CSM Lambert, good call! - 1st Plt PSG, C Co 1/505 PIR.

This is PERFECT!!

HOOAH! that was freaking awesome!!

haha I never get tired of watching this! :P

Pure genius! Keep those feet and knees together jumpers!

I always wanted to be a paratrooper and now I know what I was missing

Love It!!

Our Brother is killing it!😋😅🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🤗🤗🤗🤗🤗🤩

God Bless you! Awesome!

A Master piece!

Who was that?! That was awesome using humor to loosen his guys up. I'm a veteran and I know that m.o.s. is one if the most challenging ones in the US military. Well done!

Awesome!!!!

No, he was dropping his ALICE pack to the bottom of its tether as he prepared to land. Notice that after he dropped his pack, he looked at the ground and then had to push away another jumper that was bumping into him. This Jumpmaster was putting on a good show!

The best way to learn how to jump with commandos.

Pure Gold... sounding off for equipment check was by far the hottest I have ever seen.

``Velame!!!`` Greetings from the Brazilian Paratroopers! Nice vid!

This is so true love it

That was Awesome !!! He is so funny, that is nice Thanks.!!!

that's awesome! thank you!!!!

Expert JM technique and classic humor! LMAO!

They realy have fun at the RAF. I don´t know who was the first starting to dance while marshalling for example. But this has become a very funny tradition in the RAF and the USAF. I like that.

LOL! Good stuff. Haven't seen this vid since I was in Division.

gotta love human ways of making a hard life easier *salute*

that would be great and funny as hell if the jump master did this on the C17 or C130 before the jump.

OOOOOOOOOHRAAAAAAA get some that was epic had a balst watching it perfect music for this

LOL very good video 5/5

hahahahha! LOVEEE when he falls asleep at his post! lol

Nice ^^

i watched this with a leg and im like laughin my ass off and he cant understand a thing

Falling asleep in security lmao love it.

2:27 awsome landing lol great form

amazing perform,i like it.

@titratetoeffect80 yep. May 2002 @ Sicily DZ during All American Week. He did this once as a joke for the guys, then they had him do it for the CG. Earned himself a coin.

Let's see the JMPI dance....seriously,,this is great..

Great!

Airborne!!!, that's funny. Man, I miss that.

This vid will live forever!! Who Dat! Airborne!!!!

You are right, I don't have a life. I am a civilian and there was a time in which I read some field manuals.

I got it - easy to see what he was doing it was so funny and well executed

haha to good i wana join now

I want to be a jump master so I see searched up jump master training and this is what I got

Best job I ever had.

@Mrsineaterprime This video is from the 90s and Rangers still wore black berets then. Wasn't until 2000/2001 that they switched to tan ones.

Loved it lmfao

Good moves 👌

Somebody was saying that these are Rangers. The Rangers rarely came to Ft Bragg to do mass tacs. this was probably the aftermath of a demonstration by one of the infantry battalions or brigades. The photographer running back and forth is wearing a maroon beret. We rarely saw Sicily DZ in the daytime. The only time I saw it during the day was a demonstration for the Ukrainians in 1994.

@Christian7thSF Both, the US Army and British Forces are doing that kinda dancing. So I was not sure which one it is in this video. Maybe it´s some kind of tradition. I don´t know. But it´s funny to watch.

I'm not in the military, but I get it more or less from the little I know: the opening door drill, stand by, hold the cord, "go!", push the boys ouside the plane, jump, make 360 degree check on canopy, avoid fellow jumpers by pulling risers right, left and back, lower equipment, flare and perform PLF, recover equipment, radio, don't forget about the parachute, move out, etc. Screw up and you'll do some push-ups. That's all I could guess. Could some insider make a better list of moves?
