We were not scared of death. The safest place to be is out of that plane. We couldn't wait to jump.

@@Wildcat5181 Haha, I feel the same. The fucking plane was the worst. It was instantly better once you were out. My hands are sweaty, I havent watched a jump since I did it myself. Fuck me.

@@pikeminnow2080 I remember the C119s in jump schoo me They would pop and smoke like crazy, then backfire, scream as if they were in pain and almost sounds as if they were saying, "PHEW!" and then roar during the run-up me During taxi, the winds would move up and down as if flapping. I didn't know metal could bend so much and not break off. Once or became airborn, I could wait to reach the drop zone so I could get off before the wings finally broke off. And while that was going on, there were all the guys vomiting, which lent a special flavor to the cabin air. Oh yeah, you didn't have to coax jumpers out of the plane. We were pressed tightly against the guy in front and even the last guy was pushing to get out. It was definitely healthier in the air. I jumped out of everything but the C-5A and the C-17. I think everyone had decided that if we ever went down by any cause, that best part would be the impact. Nevertheless, I didn't risk my life in bravery; like a prostitute, I did it for the $65.00. And I'd gladly do again tomorrow, tonight on a jump into pitch black darkness would pump me up. Enjoy it while you can lads. Get all the night jumps you can because you will never experience a greater sense of adrenalyzation, except for being short down and surviving, or surviving a firefight uninjured. Damn, I miss it all. Airborne All the Way! and then some.

Me too. The C130 jumps were the scariest to me.

Thank you for your service, may God bless you and your family.

Mike, I may have been on that jump with you in 1975. I got out in October of 75. Wish I could go back and do it all over again.

Never jumped with 101st, but wished I could've. Deployed with 101st in OIF I, III. Junped with multiple units

Never had the opportunity as a 91R Food Inspection Specialist; As a civilian at 45 years of age I trained for free fall, jumped at 10,500 successfully free fall tested with two instructors at my side longest 30 seconds of my life, pulled the cord releasing a yuge Cadillac of a para foil at 5,500 ft coasted on down in 2 1/2 minutes... Most Awesome experience

Should have gone with 82nd, I did and jumped offen, loads of fun

@@jeremysweet3457 101st isn't airborne anymore. Hasn't been like that for a while.

It is so organized, that it's hard to mess up. But I have seen a few people fall straight to the ground. I did everything by the book, what I was taught, 52 times, and I never had one issue ever. Scariest jumps I ever did was night time jumps, I did 5, what a rush, I was 17years old 1975. Parents had to give the Army consent to join back then.

I always died a bit inside when they said we were jumping c130s with an inflight rig. Give me a c17 any day. Or better yet a chinook ramp jump

Yeah, but he is an Air Force guy so it is permissible.

Me too-exact same situation 505 PIR !!

i gave you a ride 35 years ago 445th

Eduardo Rebelo love you brazillian man

hi

God bless all America’s troops and allied troops.

@Sirius Magus the only reason you get to sit behind a keyboard and say that is because people die. it's a sad fact, but it's true. God is not a pacifist. He is not a war lover. Just remember, you owe it to these people to at least shut up when they're around. The country is not perfect, but neither is anything else. if it's between them and you, I really hope you see it should be them. Oh, and if you really want to change things, join the US army... hooah and God Bless

I hate America. American Military is used to Theft other countries natural resources like oil, minerals, gold

Perfect isolating scene... hmmm... why isolating this particular soldier? Hmmmmmmm
