I was a Jarhead, Artillery....but I gotta say I have absolute respect for the US Army Airborne. The Marines preferred invasion route is from the sea, but a massive assault from the air is pure bad assery, equipment and all, unreal. We trained at a few Army bases, once or twice at Bragg. Driving around their base I would see gun park after gun park filled with M-198, 155MM Howitzers. I looked over at my Marine buddy and asked, “are they dropping those guns out the back of F’n airplanes?” He said “I think so dude.” I thought....Holy shit. We have enough trouble just pulling them with our trucks. A high school buddy of mine and West Point grad was an officer in the 75th Rangers. He invited me to Benning once to watch a Mass Tac. They dropped in, seemed like all damn day long. Was very impressed. One of the coolest Army cadences I ever heard: Hey Mother Russia you better behave, or we’ll fill your skies with Maroon Berets. My father in law was 509th PIR Gingerbread Men. 🇺🇸 🍻

I was the right door safety on this jump. I can be heard at 1:07 telling the jumper with the camera to keep eye to eye contact with the safety. The AJ was a rookie and made some minor (but not dangerous) mistakes. I'm sure he got better with experience. Everyone landed safely.

I received my jumpmaster wings in 1980 and after that most of my just wear as a jumpmaster. As a jumpmaster of an aircraft we grassed both sides of the door and actually hung out the aircraft on a small platform that was kicked out once the door was open. if they're still jumping from a C-130 then I'm sure jumpers have seen it. As a jumpmaster there were times that as soon as the door was open and we made our inspections we would just hang out the door until the 1 minute warning.
