i found your video on the wayback machine by going back to the year I was born. It's kinda wild

Pour la formation, ils ont de gros moyens

Being in the 82nd Airborne Division is the most important part of the military. Jumping was the easy part, after you jumped was when the real part of being Airborne began. Intensified Training began, being cold, wet, tired, lack of sleep, hungry, sleeping on the ground ( when you could get some rest ). That’s what being Airborne is really all about. It was great.

Hey you dont know me but you are sitting directly next to my dad back when he was in and im currently in the marines and this video meant so much to me when i was a kid military has always been a dream and being able to see this video and follow in my dad’s footsteps is a dream come true thank you for this video and thank you for your service OORAH!!

I'm an old bat: Grad date 19May1995. Would do again 10/10.

Slip away!!!!!!!

My dad was 82nd airborne. Hendrix was 101st. Thank you for this awesome video. #madeit. #honor

My Dad was in a air plane that had 4 engine and 3 work and one has a lots of oil leak but the Capt USAF say to all those marine in the back look ok we have 3 good engine to get back to the airport and My Dad has been on a box car and it has a lot of problems with the engine to and he said he watched a air plane crash in to the ocean in j🗾

@4:15 dont reach for the ground, thats how you fuck your knees up

I wanna see a video of waiting for hours at green ramp rigged up after JMPI and then the race to piss on the DZ.

After Infantry Basic and AIT at Ft Benning, Jump School was a bit of a let down. I'd been told about how hard Jump School was supposed to be during Basic and AIT. Our Drill Sergeant was an ex-Black Hat. (He gave several of the guys from my platoon Blood-Wings after graduation. I decided not to take him up on that offer.) The only gig I ever got during Jump School was on the 250' tower jump when I couldn't hear the instructions from the Black Hat and didn't react correctly right away. The PT was a joke, except for the one run I ended up dropping out of on the last lap. I was sick as a dog and trying to hang, but someone dropped out right in front and it just sapped me of my will to continue. One of the Black Hats immediately jumped on the first guy who dropped out and started dogging him severely. I fully expected to be dogged as well, but he turned and took one look at me and just told me to get to the medic station. I hadn't said a word but I must have looked awful, because I was pretty sure that Black Hats checked their souls at the door and didn't have much sympathy for anyone, especially during PT. Among other things, my sinuses were all messed up and I couldn't breathe through my nose at all.

This is.... GOOD TRAINING!!!

Neither, I'm an ROTC cadet. And the 101st is Air Assault.

101st or 82nd

:D

Yeah, I just graduated on Friday. This is honestly the easiest thing ever if you can overcome your fears, which you do quickly after the first jump. We didn't go off the 250 foot tower though.

Signed a contract yesterday, MOS - 11x. Can't wait to be airborne.

tell that to wings pinned to my MCCUUs

no such thing son

Airborne is my goal :)

i cant wait till i am airborne but its still a long way right know airborne is my dream

Airborne Marine oorah

Dirty Legs! Oh How they Smell...

So fucking stupid. No hope for the human race for sure.

those landings dont look too fun though they always look like they hurt ?

37 drops without a malfunction AIRBORNE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! HHC 1st BDE 82nd Airborne 71 to 73

Clear Sergeant!!...Airborne!!!!...good times

I HAVE to go to airborne school because I unknowingly got assigned to a RESERVE airborne unit. I didnt even know there were reserve airborne units lol. gotta make sure i do my pushups right and run run run so i dont fail and look like a dumbass.

On the ropes at 0400- ran in boots. They deliver pizza to the drop zone now..times have changed lol

It was a rush every time . my 5th jump at jump school it was poring freaking rain you never seen so meany white shoot's open in your life ,, it was raining so hard the shoot's were falling in from all the damn rain..I freaking laughed the whole way down cause there was no time for any thing else....

I'll drink to that, my cherry.

Hey silly boy,, it was a long time ago, It might have been 4 o'clock.

Why do they use the old method of sky diving?

@Nik3AllSt4r yeah it is a term used to describe guys who aren't airborne. Don't take it seriously we all just bust each others balls, it is one of the few things you can do in the military that is fun. it means Low Energy Ground Soldier it is pretty dumb but so is waking up at 0400 in the morning as if the gravity won't be around at noon.

@carab1942 good times on hay st

@ssjrobert Hey brother, just google the rapid deployment force and the 18th AIRBORNE CORP.

@ssjrobert I have no doubt that the 501st covers the Pacific. But the 501st is not still part of the official rapid reaction force which is the 18th Airborne Corp. It really doesn't matter to me whether you are in the 82nd or 501st, I Iove all my AIRBORNE brothers. AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!!!!.

@ssjrobert You are wrong again,shithead. The U.S. ARMY's rapid reaction force is composed of the 18th Airborne Corp of which the 82nd is the first unit to be deployed then followed by the 101st,then the 10th Mountain, and finally 3rd ID. By the way nothing is wrong with being in the 501st. I just like the 82nd better.

@ssjrobert Today's jump school is child play,compared to the one I went thru in the old days. It was a 3 week of pure hell. We got up at 5 o'clock, did a lot of running and pt and double-timed everywhere. They gave us only about 6 minutes to finish chao at the mess hall. In the evening, we had to be ready for barracks inspections. We went to bed around 1 o'clock,and the black hats woke us up around 3 o'clock and made us do pt and run. An asshole like you wouldn't have lasted a day.

@ssjrobert The difference betwween the 82nd and the other AIRBORNE units is big, because unlike the other AIRBORNE outfits the 82nd is the first unit of the RAPID REACTION FORCES.to go. This is the reason why the 82nd is ready to go anywhere in the world within 18 hours of notification. One brigade of the 82nd is on a stand-by alert all the time. The 82nd trains a lot harder than the other units,because of this special duty. To me you are a sorry excuse for being airborne. go fuck yourself.

@ssjrobert The jump school you went thru is nothing, compared to the one I had to go thru in the old days. What a clueless little punk shitbag!!!!!

@ssjrobert Hey boy, when I went to the jump school, it was pure hell. I never got more than a 4 hour sleep at night. We got up at 5 o'clock in the morning did a lot of runninig and pt, We went everywhere at double time. They gave us about 6 minutes to finish our chao at the mess hall. At evening we had to be ready for barracks inspections, didn't go to bed untill about 1'oclock, then around 3 o'clock the black hats woke us up and made us run and do pt. This was before you were even born.

@ssjrobert I think you a reading comprehension problem. I said special forces,ranger,seal,etc, TRAINEES. Go back there read my post carefully. ok, shithead?

Is the "42" above the door (15 seconds in the video) a tribute to Pat Tillman?

ci potete giocare i coglioni che voglio andare nell'airborne

@123nypd1 The jump school does only one thing, teaching you how to jump out of a plane,nothing more. If you are physically in good shape and have no fear of heights,then you will not have any problem passing it. The hardest part of being a paratrooper comes when you are assigned to an Airborne unit, specially the 82nd Airborne. The washout rate of new jump school graduates in an Airborne unit is very high. If you don't meet it's standards, you will be sent to a leg unit very fast.

@123nypd1 Come on, go Airborne you can do it. You will not regret it.

The Parachute(Airborne) Infantry Paratroopers of the 82nd Airborne are extremely well trained in raid,ambush,urban warfare, airfield seizure tactics and many more.. Most of the 82nd Airborne(Parachute) Infantry Paratroopers are also Ranger-qualified and or Pathfinder-qualified and or sniper-qualified and or Air Assault-qualified and many more. In capabilities these 82nd Airborne(Parachute) Infantry Paratroopers are just below the Rangers but way above the marine infantrymen.

@DumbHonkie1 The qualitis of jump school traninees are lot higher than those of the marine recruits at the boot camp because the Airborne trainees are not like the raw recruits at the marine boot camp. These Airborne trainees already went thru basic and AIT training and among them you will also find a lot of Special Forces, Ranger, Seals, marine recon trainees. Even so the dropout rate at the jump school is 28% compared to the very low dropout rate of 11.7% at the marine boot camp.

When I went to the jump school, there were 4 recon marines and two of the marines couldn't pass it. One marine couldn't keep up with the runs and another marine froze at the door of an airplane.According to the DoD statistics, the dropout rate at the marine boot camp is 11.7%(no kidding, almost anybody can be a marine!!!) and according to the jump school, the dropout rate is about 28%. So becoming a Paratrooper is a lot harder than becoming a marine.
