[@MrEtc31265]

God Bless Our Men of the 82nd Airborne and all the serve!!!

[@timkickinkuiken]

Man, I can’t believe I haven’t jumped with the 82nd in over 15 years an I still get the nerves watching this. So crazy.

[@Myshkin82118]

18 years for me but I can still smell the air at Pope during pre jump watching this. And seeing those benches is incredible cause I instantly get flashes of my platoon all camoed up patiently waiting to find out if it's a go or not.

[@Nipit-po8fl]

40 years Airborne brother 😅😊😊

[@johnbannon7657]

jumped with the 82d 55 years ago. Served in V. N. With the 173rd

[@waltc.bagwell9352]

This brings back many memories.....made my first mass tact in 1973.

[@thomasmazzola5768]

Proud to have been a member of the 82nd!! 1st bn 505th pir

[@vincentdeblasi582]

My son is currently in the 82nd and we, all of us, couldn't be more proud of him. He left a young man that needed guidance and a different perspective of the world. I am happy to report that his buddies, for the most part older and married, have really taken him under their "wing" and helped him to mature beyond his/our expectations. He really a part of a Band of Brothers. AATW

Besides all the training, training and training that you can do with your eyes closed and small operations. I miss this shit.

[@TheTuscaloosa]

Very impressive. My son is part of that Team. I am a German father. Whenever you meet a funny english speaking tall guy, very good looking of course give him a hug. 😂 Happy to see him next week . Can‘t be prouder.

[@DaMurph]

I had the pleasure of jumping into Germany with the 82nd in 1982. Beautiful country.

[@BarracksGuitarist]

I was on that jump and the follow on mission. Fun

[@AS-pi3zg]

[@kenrobison9528]

Remember everyone deployed. God bless you all. 🇺🇸 All the way. 173rd

[@Dj-sd1xq]

Sky Soldiers! Respect from the mothership!

[@MichaelHopkinsREI]

‘89-‘97. Started out as a parachute rigger. Jumping is one helluva high. Nice production quality. Would love to this quality with air drops or different aircraft types.

[@choosesomethingfun5608]

Those C-17's sure look like a nice ride. I remember the C-130's would fly in a straight line formation, with the next plane getting all the turbulence from the one in front. By the time it got back to the 7th or 8th plane, the ride was often so rough you could barely stand, and it made it impossible to 'shuffle' without weaving back and forth like a drunk. Your static line then served the dual purpose of helping you to maintain balance. B 1/325 73-76

[@borukarumpus5404]

I was with 2nd brigade in late 70’s hhc commo platoon the falcon brigade God bless everyone

[@Dj-sd1xq]

Red Falcons for me! AATWLG! 😊

[@tylerhernandez8774]

[@postalclerk28]

[@ritaholden4591]

I know you don't know me but I love each of you so very much!!! If y'all weren't here I would be terrified in these days!! Thank you just isn't enough..I pray for you daily!! Love an ADA Army Veteran's wife.. Merry Christmas!!!

[@jeffcleland3109]

When you care enough, to send the VERY best....82nd Airborne!! AATW

[@kevinnathanson6876]

1/17th ABN AIR CAV 81-85... Those C17s are pretty spacious! For those of us who have done in-flight rigging on a full-to-capacity C130, we're jealous! I had to laugh at the 'waddle' of trying to walk wearing a main, reserve, lowering line, ruck, weapons case, etc... No wonder my knees don't work anymore!

[@dannyrobles5512]

🦁🏜 21 October 2023. "AIRBORNE ALL THE WAY!" From here In The Land of Enchantment, New Mexico 🇺🇸. SFC Robles Ret. US ARMY. Thank you for Service!! Men and Women. 🇺🇲 👍 🍻 🇺🇲

[@z0phi3l]

Got out in 97, other than the new chutes and the lights being on for filming, it's all pretty much the same Great camera and editing work, could feel myself go into the jump mindset while watching this

[@mediamagikgroup]

Appreciate the comment Anibal. I am still tweaking how I make these videos, but that is my goal eventually is to kinda give the feeling of being there. Especially for us Veterans who miss it!

[@teenaleer6447]

Them Patriot Soldiers Are Walking (With Parachute Balls)Like The Big Balls It Takes To Jump Out Of A Perfectly Running AirPlane. These Patriots From Here Say To Y'all A Big Thank You For Your Service. ✝️👨‍👩‍👧‍👦🇺🇲tqr.

[@Lpj4]

So this was a Tactical Mass Jump “Exercise” to Prepare for the Real Mission? Gave me Cold Chills.

[@jodan4]

First Mass jump 101st Abn in 1958. C123

[@Master-Ganja]

Oh the memories

[@stormrider9831]

If I missed a pay jump with the 7th Special Forces in the 60s or 70s, I would strap hang with the 82nd. Endless, good-natured harassment from the guys about “girl scouts, etc., but we were brothers none the less. Airborne!!

[@spg77777]

Very well done.

[@tennray]

That was probably the best I have seen in a good while. I jumped starting in 86 ending 05. Would love to show some old picts of Green Ramp back in the day when we sat on the ground or the bench out front of the TARMAC

[@logan.horn1458]

Too bad they didn’t show the other door. You would have seen me eating shit and diving out of the plane lol

[@allamericanadventures]

Great video!

[@JosephCamacho-df1jz]

I was with the 2/504 back in 81-85 miss it

[@ronkreed]

So proud of the professionalism of our troops. Glad to see the American flag hung proudly in these facilities. Wokeism hasn't caused their removal yet.

[@weaselwolf8425]

Airborne!!!

[@PunkN_JTM]

Respect The Enemy and what they may be capable of always, and Have Zero Mercy, Death From Above.. God Speed Warriors.. Pro Patria Vigilans.

[@alexandersippel]

[@spencerburrows3525]

[@spencerburrows3525]

[@mamieacrie2324]

😢They jumping in the dark of night.

[@timf2279]

Hey what happened to the C-141's lol

[@mediamagikgroup]

LMAO!

[@LRRPFco52]

Retired them in the early 2000s. I was on one of the last C-141B jumps into JRTC in 2000 with 82nd. We started getting more C-17A jumps after-141s went away, while still jumping a lot of C-130Hs. Jumps in all these were almost always night, mass attack, with combat equipment.

[@gigawattbeehot0913]

How many are they ? 100 soldiers ? Or more ? So young , they’re .

[@jdsaldivar5606]

82ND AIRBORNE Feet... Ass... Head!! I can't believe I'm not Dead!! YEEEHAW!! 82/87

[@tomuss2082]

Feet ass head. I rember seeing the two scabs on the back of everyone's head from the rivets on the helmet inner strap.

[@emmanueljohnson7334]

What they need to do is drop in on PA and give me my equipment and I’ll drive them all the way
