Start running push ups and sit-ups. In basic the DIs will dog you like you slapped their mother. Don't take it personal. Do exactly what they say when they say to do it and you will be fine. AIT they will let up a bit but jump school will be a whole different story. Shit gets real and the Black Hats take their jobs very seriously. When you get to " the nut cracker ", make damn sure Mr. Johnson and the twins are on the IN-BETWEEN the harness leg straps other wise you'll talk like mini mouse for a few days until they drop again. Watched a 2nd LT do that. The way he was screaming you would think it was painful. Jump week will max out your pucker factor. It's a fucking hoot. ABATHW!! 2/504
I am proud to say that it's a joy to watch our young American men and women in the paratroopers in the airborne. 30 years ago I joined and went through the same ordeals and same practices as mostly they do today I think each and every one for their service and sacrifice.

Chinook jumps are the best! Do they still do fun jumps on weekends at Bragg? Where you go out to a drop zone and jump as many times as you can to boost your numbers?
@Tom Doland From what I have been told they don't jump as much as they use to. My Chemical Company was taken off jump status in 2008. I remember reading the S&S battalion was as well. I guess it makes sense that support units would most likely not airdrop their equipment, so not a priority to air drop the troops. Someone more in the know could give more detail. However, I guess the concept is that they are still at Fort Bragg and can attach to the division or Corps if needed, thus keeping the division light and speedy.
I'm proud if you guys! Proud of your service! Very proud of my own service. But no, I'm a firm ground pounder, worked on M1 MBT. I've never been afraid of heights, so much respect for the airborne

@@peterruiz6117 yeah he was fine. Just some pretty bad whiplash and bruising. He commented on the video of it happening and said he races motorcycles now.
The history of airborne forces began after World War I, when Brigadier General William Mitchell first conceived the idea of parachuting troops into combat. Eventually, under the leadership of Major William Lee at Fort Benning, Georgia, members of the Parachute Test Platoon pioneered methods of combat jumping in 1940. In November 1942, members of the 2nd Battalion, 509th Parachute Infantry Regiment, conducted America's first combat jump, leaping from a C-47 aircraft behind enemy lines in North Africa. This strategy revolutionized combat and established airborne forces as a key component of our military. During World War II, airborne tactics were critical to the success of important missions, including the D-Day invasion at Normandy, the Battle of the Bulge, the invasion of Southern France, and many others. In Korea and Vietnam, airborne soldiers played a critical combat role, as well as in later conflicts and peacekeeping operations, including Panama, Grenada, Desert Storm, Haiti, Somalia, and the Balkans. Most recently, airborne forces were vital to liberating the people of Afghanistan from the repressive and violent Taliban regime; and these soldiers continue to serve proudly around the world in the global coalition against terrorism.
@@ArtyBowling Howdy IB - Never made it to a Batt. As I already had 3 combat tours, General Allen kept me at HQ to command HHC, 173 ABN. However, in sending HHC Assets to combat, I used the Caspers to fly Medics, Scout Dogs, Tracker Dogs, etc, and me in to the Batt LZ and introduce those teams of troopers to the Batt CO and SGM.

And they say Marines are first to fight. Army Airborne Infantrymen are designed to land deep behind enemy lines and often among the fist in battle.
Even Indian Army has music.

My grandson graduates high school in a year. He told me yesterday that this is what he wants to be. I knew for the last 10 years he wanted to join the military. I cannot believe its just a year away.
