Special forces jump master dance

Jump master in School of parachuting dances

[@johndennis5182]

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.

[@Bruceonthe1]

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.

[@robharkle1057]

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

[@shrapmagnet]

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

[@mcdc59]

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

[@Nik-nd1mv]

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

[@eckasas]

I met a few Fallschirmjagers back in 2015(was nice training, and you dudes get to drink beer.. after ) over here in Litauen. Cool dudes, but my german was bad all I could say was.. eine grosse bier und cigarete bitte. :D

[@Nik-nd1mv]

@@eckasas enough for a good Start. And a good Party:)))

[@eckasas]

​@@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..

[@Nik-nd1mv]

@@eckasas Just names. Memories count. Glück ab comrade.

[@celtaciaclemment1229]

Took me back 24 years. I surely miss jumping.

[@TxInfinity]

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

[@epep50]

+TxInfinity When I saw him struggle with his weapon I laughed my ass off, I've rode my weapon in more times than I could get it to drop. Glad it was an M4!

[@jasonfay2250]

I was a 240 guy. Used to forget to loosen that shit all the time, but somehow never got hurt from it. Funny video!

[@matthewnagel4137]

I jumped a 60...never wanted to land that sucker!

[@dostthouevenlogicbrethren1739]

@@jasonfay2250 Wasn't it fun jumping a 240? Busting the carrying handle on one when I thundered in hard. Lol

[@ridgeridge9116]

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.

[@jasondence3189]

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

[@evolnieveilebi]

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...

[@herkload]

So, how's the civilian life?

[@randalllusk8547]

AATW! Was in C 1/504 from 78-80 when I started my career.

[@SoldierDrew]

@@herkload Civilian life sucks. Its not living. Just existing.

[@martinbrand6652]

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

[@zeeprincesszee]

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

[@Mithrall]

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.

[@SharkAttack37]

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

[@cocolucia74]

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

[@Harbisondude]

Pure genius! Keep those feet and knees together jumpers!

[@mgdiver]

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?

[@MANIAC119833]

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.

[@markduncan6105]

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

[@M18A1]

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

[@damonclayton]

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

[@antoniocruz5596]

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

[@VIKINGHUN]

🤣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.......

[@samman82]

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.

[@herkload]

Do you still love this video?

[@AgentSmith4200]

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

[@claytonandspencer9866]

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

[@sschang009]

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

[@Hans4n6]

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

[@HDridr2000]

Tain't SF.. this is Ranger footage (and I'm an ol' has been SF guy). Great stuff.. a classic (you know it's a classic because you see the Ranger run buy with his black beret on his noggin'). God bless all those serving in uniform around the world. De Oppresso Liber,

[@codyamann12345]

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

[@RoguePhoenix6]

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

[@randalllusk8547]

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!

[@jumpin800agl]

@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.

[@njdevil186173]

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!

[@MysteryMachine13]

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

[@LouieUPS]

wish my black hat did this when i was in jump school

[@paraguaymike5159]

The more I drink the more epic this is.

[@wacollier]

LMAO - he indicates 20kts win then goes up with 7kts right before he gets the jump going by kicking the first one in the backside. Rifle stuck on release, but a nice PLF though. The rest of it is funny too, doubletiming, falling asleep on perimeter and having to do pushups and kicks, etc.

[@careyepp969]

This one never gets old! Seems like yesterday

[@1xXitachiXx1]

no homo, but this is like Glee for war.

[@Hornadayfan]

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...

This is so true love it

[@marycarroll3084]

Still love to watch this in 2021.

[@HAWX234]

i laughed at every minit of this enjoy youre job boys

[@Janeintheok]

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!

[@soulfulsolitude6927]

+Jane Buchanan its not an mos

[@swiftsmile]

Its a qualification and sometimes a unit identifier

[@Strkr3]

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.

[@Mystik7]

wha.. no "check static line" command?

[@ErikWolowitz]

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

[@wolfsvain2]

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

[@hermitcleric]

There's real and painful fighting to do out there if you have the guns and means to. My actual fight is against the enemies of the Church. Hail Mary.

[@Slaterator]

@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.

[@hermitcleric]

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.

[@19Aviationmax94]

the typical action on military bases

[@PropheticallyPoetic]

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

[@xFogxofxWarx]

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

[@njdevil186173]

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.

[@jackmillay8455]

Sadly i believe this guy got killed 2 weeks before he made it home. I got a Chain email with names and i goggled it just to see if it was real. I remember seeing his video and all the people saying he was a fine / funny man as you can see. And it would be a hard loss. loosing good people to take out a few bad is the sad part in war.

[@kodoman66]

@Avera9eWh1teShark6 It's actually hand signal communication for exactly what he does preparing everyone to go out the door. when he puts his hands up hes telling them to hook up to the cables as an example.

[@johndavis5190]

Anyone who's ever worn a blue cord, understands you put infantry in the prone for more than 5 minutes it's nap time 😆😆

[@johnnyllooddte3415]

hahaha location song ahahahahah you had to have been there ahahha

[@desertstorm1989]

My MSG knew this guy, I was talking about him the other day in his office and he didn't mention him being killed. I'll ask him when he gets back from Fort Lewis, WA and let you know.

[@JesterEXW]

There are no tiers in SF, stop talking if you don't know, please. Rangers are advanced infantry, not Special Forces. Doesn't make them better or worst, they just have different missions.

[@kungfuiskoo]

So thats what Ranger School's gonna be like. And to think I was training my ass off for that. I think i'll just take contemporary or ballet for prep.

[@Felaris]

@gtaclevelandcity Not a bit goes to waste either. These are all regulation by the book examples of proper jump technique. Jump master knows his job.

[@HawesEA]

Love It!!

[@gwhetsel]

@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.

[@Christian7thSF]

@Slaterator This isnt RAF? this is U.S special forces and nobody in particular started it, im sure they have been doing that for decades.

[@mollymu1]

@gtaclevelandcity He is at an ROTC Combat demostration they have every year and he does it on his own time .

[@GhostDog65]

@kodoman66 Are you that much of a nerd! Really? 5 Jump Chump! If the civs don't get it- dont explain it!

[@iflickuoff]

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

[@SrgntProtector]

Alright i got it..... left foot bounce, flail arms, pull shute ,dance your way to victory got it

[@Dahigi777]

yeah thats what i thought, i dont know why i thought it was the reserve hanging from the tether..

[@hermitcleric]

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?

[@phoenixkluke]

lolz this vid TOTALLY ROKZ MY SOKZ ^^)

[@michaelcarron3418]

Looked to me he tossed to the left side emergency chute, hope he held on to the D ring.

[@wwe4everfav]

@Slaterator the US because of his hair cut, RAF doesn't style their hair like that.

[@carymonfort3624]

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

[@milesdancy8284]

how do you convince higher ranking soldiers to do this?

[@Purpolvr]

rangers wear tan berets, not black.. come on now guy... 11b the way to be

[@HelenaVanCity]

THAT's how they train military aircraft directing guys! LOL Name of the song, pleeeease! :)

[@michaelcarron3418]

Remember you need both hands to release the H harness straps.

[@sweetladykandi]

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!

[@unmotomarine0351]

lol at going to sleep in the prone!

[@germantellez18]

i would lmfao if the jump master did that on one of my jumps,,,,

[@Slaterator]

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.

[@olivermilsom602]

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

[@jdmarcus59]

benn 20 years sence I left the Rangers, and this brought back so many momories....It made a old man smile.

[@denisdegamon8224]

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.
