It was at Fort Benning that a Brazilian Army captain named Roberto Pêssoa was appointed to take a parachuting course [airborne] in 1944. The following year, a decree-law determined the foundation of the Escola de Paraquedismo [airborne school] under the supervision of the Captain Roberto Pêssoa, then 46 more military officers studied at Fort Benning until 1948. They were the pioneers and served as instructors at the School starting in 1949. In 1952, the Airborne Division Nucleus was created, in which the Skydiving School was a part. Captain Roberto Pêssoa is considered the number 1 Brazilian paratrooper [airborner] in training. Died in 2010 with the rank of General of the Brazilian Army.

He turns to just enough to see this student twisted in her chute plummeting and unable to deploy her Reserve.

If your MOS is for something else in the combat arms - your basic training will still get you in adequate shape to handle Jump School fairly well. Now, if your MOS is for something like being a cook or a mechanic or some other occupation that never has to actually be a fighter - then your basic training will be a cakewalk - and Jump School will probably kick your ass.

I was 17 in 1977 we were the first class that trained night jumps using the t10-1 mortified

[@joshwhitmore3946]

I just got out of airborne, i broke my ankle on a jump and never got my wings, one of the Sgt Airborne in the video was actually one of my instructors, great guy, it was bittersweet but ill never forget jumping out of perfectly good airplane or the friends i made there.

[@AmericanBusinessman422]

This is the easiest training out of all of nato..

Everyone thinks it’s cool until there 100th time slapping there leg and screaming “Airborne” then it’s just corny. Also I love the history behind Airborne but the concept is outdated if you tried an airborne opp you’d end up like Russia.

[@richardschafer7858]

Airborne drops in Iraq went very well. Airfield siezures and other similar missions are made for Airborne assaults.

[@es4152]

@@richardschafer7858bruh that was a show of force against a country that didn’t really have that good of anti air defense. Use Airborne Against any country that has good anti Air abilities and see how that goes, also enemy forces have drowned people by flooding fields as we saw in Russia . It’s just outdated and I don’t know why people get defensive. I’m not saying the US Airborne wouldn’t get the job done but it would get to many killed and have no benefit, why do airborne op when you can do the same without the huge risk. Just because you can successfully do something doesn’t mean you should do it especially if you can get the same results using far less risky methods. Was operation Airborne dragon necessary, seriously think about it.

[@es4152]

@@richardschafer7858 from literally any of the info I can gather all those ops your talking about could have been done without Airborne. It would have been cheaper and way less of a risk, but I guess unnecessary risk and trying to look cool are important maybe we should do the same as Russia look cool and be as combat ineffective as possible.

[@Dillon41689]

Did you fail Airborne school? You seem a bit bitter. Do you believe all the propaganda about Russia because they are not as incompetent as they are portrayed. Do you understand the USA has the most legitimate military in the world and is way more equiped than the rest of the world? Not trying to be an asshole or a dick about anything, I'm actually asking. The Russian airborne or military for that matter can not stand up to the US military. Most militaries throughout the world can't compete to the United States military. Their is a complete difference between soldiers who strive to be involved, volunteer to be in such a demanding job, and legitimately think they are the best, than there is soldiers who are forced to join unwillingly and told it's a mandatory thing or operate in a dictator type country. That sense of purpose and pride is lost. I understand what you are saying but I personally think it is different when it comes to the US, we are on an absolute different level when it comes down to the individual soldiers in these types of units. We would operate way better than any other country.

Paratroopers are shock troops and they have to be as fast as possible and hence they should carry as little weight as possible ie preferably only ammo for 2 days and food for 2 days and no need for anything else.
