No one cares.

If you're the top bloke of the paras and can't jump you're a joke. That's why he's there proving himself to his men

@@brandonmutton2971 I'm not judging his ability to jump 😂 I'm commending his willingness to. The General I knew could probably kick my arse but I'm just saying I've never once seen him out in the field, only in the office and parade square, so I respect this brigadier

@@PB-hr3hy brigadiers are a field officer & not a general officer (but yes 1 star) so I’d think this would be expected. Either way good stuff from the Bois

Back in the 90s it was not uncommon for me to be sitting across from the 101st CG and base Sgt Major

@@brandonmutton2971 do all para generals do it? That’s his point. Top bloke or not, there would be some who don’t jump @ brigadier or major general level, & they’re still top lads, do what gives.

Half the paratroopers in this video are Jordanian , give them some credit too

A true lad you are, from the bottom of our hearts thank you

No point in the run then , and how did the pti,s let this happen.

cheers dits

Respect 🇯🇴 from 🇬🇧

400+ jumps here...I've seen exactly *2* broken legs....I don't know where you saw that...

you only break your legs if you dont follow your training.

@@Old299dfk unlikely they’re all from not following training, for example is a fatality from a gun malfunctioning and exploding a death from lack of training or a failure of equipment, id say there’s definitely cases of faulty equipment causing these as well.

@@andrewrice4513 I broke my back the first time I jumped. I was too embarrased to tell anyone. I keep it quite and carried on.

"woke" adverts? because they showed a woman soldier? lol

@Harry Harry grow up

@Harry Harry oh noo I’m a white man who feels a tiny amount of hesitancy about my demographic !! Noooo lol I think white men will be just fine

yeah, I was wondering about that too. Most likely he swapped patches with someone on an exchange program.

Yep I saw that as well! Always good to see my beloved patch! AATW!

Definitely Caught My Eye.

@@vectors2final36 we have blokes on the exchange program at Colchester. He was probably American.

I saw that too. you confused for it bit

I really respect your honesty

@@sneakypeacock8394 Thank you. I'd love to do something like this but am scared og heights. Even standing on a chair gets me wobbly-kneed.

@Spooky gnu Congratulations om jumping out of a plane 7 times!!! At 68 though and with certain health probs, I don't think it would be wise. (they'd end up tossing me out to stop listening to my gibbering wreck. I admire you for wha t you have done and thank you for sharing

@Spooky gnu Believe it or not mate, I was the same and now I Drive a Tower crane on a Building site.

@@joekidd9456 You got some bottle to climb those ladders on them cranes 200 feet up

I see what you did there. Very good lol. On reflection a good night had by all.

😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖🐖

🇬🇧♥️🇯🇴

Fore and aft gear with 'Capewells'. The stuff of legends!

Yes it was a longtime to get rid of the Hastings and be able to jump from the Hercules. At least the Argosy was a good "Stand-in".

3am is in the morning, so the time your likely to be sleeping at

12 midnight onwards is considered a new day so yes 3 am in the morning. Evening is usually 7pm to 12 midnight. Not sure about where your from though, maybe you were taught differently

Lol.

You numpties. She said 3 am in the morning, as if there's more than one 3 am per day. I'm laughing at that making it through the editorial process. That's almost as funny as you guys not picking up on it.

@@percyfaith11 I thought her fudging her line was funny enough, but turns out these comments are even funnier!

They're not keeping you safe, they're keeping British interests safe. while the individual soldiers may care about you, the missions they're sent on are not in your interest at all

And you’d know this how?

@@mickydrippin3105 because our countries are run by lobbyists and politicians who have monetary goals and war is especially profitable when you have your fingers dipped into arms manufacturing businesses

LOL

No government would ok a operation into that kind of toxic environment, it would be a war crime

They are fearless...but not stupid!

What’s the replacement

@@4TheWinQuinn nothing. A400 atlas’s isnt certified to para drop, we need these hercs aircraft for tactical drops and they have and do serve us well and our Special forces. Shame we’ve lost so many and only have 14 left that will be sold cheap to ashithole nation like Bangladesh like some of our other hercs.

What have those transport planes being replaced with?

@@1anre a400s but they can’t para drop just now.

@@bulletproofguy5112 why’s that? They can ascend to the needed height no? And have multiple exit doors on both sides right?

2 Para organized a Free Fall course in Aden in 1966. Based in Bahrein it made for a break from routine , even though Aden was not exactly a peaceful location. We all enjoyed the early morning flight's in the Army Air Corps Beavers. Our Instructor was a former member of the Red Devil's Team , Ray Etchel , R.I.P.

🤣 nice try

I believe once they’ve completed depot training (P Comany) at Catterick they’ll arrive at Merville without any wings and will then be loaded onto a jumps course at Brize. From my experience there was quite the waiting list to get onto your jumps but 2 & 3 para had priority as it’s their bread and butter. I did P Comapny and waited 7 years to get onto my jumps as I wasn’t serving with an Airborne unit, so I was a penguin for quite some time.

@@richardp4776 : cheers

@@jujitusuka no dramas 🤙🏼

It’s bullshut everyone has wings for the ones that don’t they are waiting for there course

officers for you

When his hands are up to surrender the badge will be in the correct orientation.

All the gear no idea

now now, dont be bold

keep dreaming colin

Can you tell me what military force in the World is better?

@@colinsmith6116 yes russia

You HAVE to be bleeding joking. They like the Chinese have lots of troops, most of whom are back in the feudal days.

They are airbourne soldiers you might have noticed it in the title.

150 Paras can deal a fair chunk of damage.

That’s right, the briefing is standard and SOP

In the US Army it is. Different wording but pretty much the same thing. Only thing that was added is that you will be ordered not to touch your equipment.

Yes. Its called a green light warning order.

Yeah, I thought so too. Like he was barking at raw recruits. I said so too and came in for a mixed response.

2 if you count Zulu.

Doubt it’s eveytime. They seem to like this sort of rigor + the holiday in Cyprus first of all.

Imagine not being able to get all your jumps done , and you are flown out to Cyprus, and do.them all . Sheer heaven 👍

Islam.

@@alexsmart5452 the only one who is doing bad stuff is Isreal

I know they do exchange programs so that actually might be an American from 82nd 🇺🇸

@@Foxtrottangoabc While true to the most part, an American in the exchange program would be wearing it as a FWTS SSI (i.e. combat patch). An American in the exchange program would not have to be from the 82nd or even have been assigned to the 82nd, they could have been previously assigned to say the 173rd Airborne Brigade, or the 4th IBCT(Abn) of the 25th Infantry Division. And in the exchange program on either side, they usually wear the appropriate SSI of the unit that they are assigned to, i.e. the 16th Air Assault Brigade insignia or on the flip side the insignia of say the 18th Abn Corp or 82nd SSI.

@@RWebster325 thanks 👍

And reason for such a brief opening window ?

@@1anre They jumped from 800 feet altitude...

@@GM-fh5jp that’s what I asked you the purpose of picking that height

@@1anre It reduces the exposure of the transport aircraft to radar as it's flying low and also limits the exposure of the very vulnerable parachutists to ground fire while they are swinging in their chutes as they are on the ground litterally seconds from exiting the aircraft. Also it drastically increases jump accuracy as the parachutists have little time to be swept away by prevailing winds Some high level drops have seen men scattered over a wide area,sometimes miles from the target and in small easy to defeat groups whereas a low level jump puts all the men in a tight pattern over the target.

It's a legal requirement.

Done before jumps

Really!!! we worked on the theory that if you are in the first dozen or so and Debussing a C47 in 15 seconds the guys behind will make sure you go out the door 😂😂😂

@@victornewman9904 it’s not a legal requirement of a forces media video is it though

Even the most seasoned trooper must twitch when you only have 800 feet to play with, so the warning is unsurprising.

Yes, other wise when they land they can’t fight

I thought they only had handguns and rifles were dropped separately?

@@lucasdalli3256 where do they carry them when they jump?

@@teilohow3561 packed in bags disassembled or packed without ammunition loaded

@@teilohow3561 Only time paratroopers of any nation did that was in WW2

Ex (para)noid here jumped at 400ft

As a Rhodesian in my mid 60’s 650ft is not low either. We op jumped between 500-550ft with FN or MAG (GPMG) strapped to our sides and a Beretta or Star 9mm tucked behind the reserve…..you were never going to use that anyway unless releasing and climbing down it if stuck in a tree 😂. Respect to anyone standing waiting for the light to turn green. Stand up, hook up, check equipment. Like it was yesterday. Death from the Sky. Stay safe lads and keep your head down. Respect and thanks 🙏🇬🇧

@@bulletproofguy5112 - not on a UK 'chute you didn't, we don't have any cleared for that height. I was on JADTEU for a couple of years and the lowest height we had cleared was individual jumpers was 500ft with the lowest for mass jumps being 600ft.

no threat just a brief they’re obliged to give prior to a jump, i’m sure they began after there was some kind of incident of a non jumper

Its actually called The Green Light warning. Once you are parachute trained and excepted your wings you are obliged. Its read out before every jump.

Yeah. Or the "16th Aerosol Brigade". :'D

@@TrueChell Ya, thats what it sounds like too! :D

When enemies sign the Geneva convention and don’t shoot them out the sky. You think isis & the taliban wouldn’t hesitate to light them up lol
