2022 UPDATE (currently in the 1st week right now - did the 34 foot tower today (DAY 2) 20220308): - E7+ will stay in Abrams Hall. - No longer restricted to the barracks/training area(s). Everyone gets downtime after training and can leave the footprint just not base. This includes E7+ that aren’t stationed here and/or reside off-post. - Still no APFT/ACFT. We just did a 10 sec flex arm hang (chin above the bar). - You’ll jump out based on roster number (from what we’ve been told). An Officers roster number starts with “A” (eg A123), an NCOs roster number starts with an “N”, and for SPC and below their roster number is just a 3 digit number - hold overs have a letter after their roster number (eg, A123G). - Everything else is pretty spot on to what we’re doing/being briefed.
@@kellyayala1665 No. The mask mandate has also been lifted - here at Airborne the black hats “make” you take them off and have deemed them as “not allowed” during training. Additionally, just yesterday the ROM (restriction of movement) policy was lifted so now students are authorized to travel up to a 10-mile radius outside of base.
I truly remember some years ago I was at Fort Benning GA. after finishing jump school this Ranger cadre came and got us and told us to mount up with are gear. As a result , we ran all the way to the Ranger Compound and began getting smoked. Ranger selection began. CWO3 2nd Ranger Batt HHC Retired
@@Jabarikjay that’s the key. It definitely comes into play. You can’t help how hard you fall sometimes but feet and knees together is the best advice. Thanks!
Congrats on graduating jump school. I attended back in 1992 and curiosity about how it was being conducted during covid broought me here. Spent my enlistments in 2/504th, 82nd. While at Bragg, a few of us in our platoon also took a civilian recreational skydiving (AFF) course at Raeford DZ. continued to skydive even after retiring. I have a little over 350 jumps now (almost all of course recreational skydives). Not “bragging” on number of jumps as actually 350 is a modest number in the skydiving community as I know many folks that have 2,000+ jumps and have even known some with close to 10,000 jumps. I jumped once with Cheryl Sterns at Raeford, who is well known in the community and the lady that made my first jumpsuit (Wendy) also designed Cheryl’s suit that she broke speed record in. Anyway, I enjoyed your video. I wish was young again and envy you, lol. AATW, brother, and blue skies.
Congratulations brother. Once a paratrooper always a paratrooper! Went through February 2001! We ran everyday, everywhere. Great video. You are so right about jump week. Lol. We had a few get dropped because they had to go to the bathroom and touched their gear. 🤦🏽♂️ smh. I had to pass being part of a LRSD unit. Airborne All the Way. Rangers Lead the Way!
Maybe now it is, after they were forced to lower standards to allow the females into the school. Back in the day, 1973 for me, jump school made Basic training look like a playground date.
I went thru jump school way back in 92 had a bad sprain off the 300 ft tower ankle was all swollen and could barely put weight on it luckily we had a ortho dr going thru the course and he took care of my foot every day by wraps and stuff needless to say the black hats were on the look out for such injuries and I managed to stay clear from them and they never noticed my limp made my jumps out of the C141 and C130s and graduated with WW2 vets pinning the wings on
I'm a paratrooper from 1992. Was in both the 101st Abn in PGW1. After returning, I was relocated to 2/505 PIR 82nd. I encourage you all however, sounds like jump school has gotten eazy azz hell! Lol!
Is it a 20 second FAH or a 10 second one? An they’re not doing any sort of ACFT or APFT? I heard on the grapevine that it depended on your company. Can you please provide insight to this?!
@@POKEFAN023 haven’t gone yet. Got good PT scores, good motivation but I guess my unit just doesn’t send people there. I had it on my contract and my recruiter fucked it up.
Do not look at the ground under a round canopy. Keep your eyes on the horizon. Feet and knees together, but not rigid. When your feet first make contact with the ground, it should almost come as a surprise, then do your PLF. You’ll have good and bad PLF’s. Everyone has the occasional feet, ass, head PLF. I once had a lovely toes, knees, face PLF. You learn from your mistakes and it builds character and humor. Remember that there are no standing landings under round canopies! If you want to be able to do standing landing, take a skydiving course to learn how to fly RAM-air canopies. You fly them much like an aircraft: crosswind, downwind, base, final. The hardest part about landing those types of canopies is timing your flare, also much like an aircraft. It takes experience, but it’ll come as an art..
How fast is the running? That honestly is the only thing I’m scared for. I’m not the best at running. I’m working on it now while at ait. But I’m still nervous.
@@Jabarikjay so for the spot reports is it if you just stop running or if you fall behind, also what happens if we can’t do pulls up? do we do the flex arm hang instead?
@@mandykwiatkowski2653 Charlie didn't give out any spot reports. We had people fall out everyday and they still graduated. Don't be that person though. The flex arm hang is easy.
Hi ! Awesome video! My younger brother is heading to airborne school in about 3 weeks or so. Was there a graduations with Covid? I was really hoping I could go. Thank you for your service 🇺🇸
For the graded flex arm hang yes, for the pull ups we did outside before all the formations no. Those are more of an integrity thing because they don’t watch you do those
@@Jabarikjay I'll be enlisting soon and wear contacts, I heard you can only wear glasses. Are there any moments/times/days when contacts are allowed or never?
@@MrMan2101 yes you can wear contacts just don't tell anyone that you are wearing them and you'll be fine. I wore them when I went. Also, try to always be the number 1 or last man. Its the safest position
My class didn’t hear that one. It was always “Airborne prepare for wire landing” and we’d have to squat with our knees together and do the wavey thing until they told us to stop.
The parachute is pretty heavy , I don’t know how much the weight was tbh, the ruck it depends. In school they pack it and they’re all heavy af. Like 40-50 lbs. in Division it’ll depend since you’re packing it yourself
Bring: your own sheets, tide pods, a month worth of toiletries, your own canteen (theirs are gross), chin strap (same reason), charger brick (ideal), and toilet paper (yes seriously). You're spot on with the analysis LT. Our weather sucked too, had to stay until Monday. YOU WILL DO 5 JUMPS, there was rumors going around that the black hats were bluffing and they'd graduate you with only 3. Them is lies.
See that you bounced back from what happened to you in Korea., good for you curious to find out what happened next... maybe one day you will explain and what you learned from it in the long run., congratulations on Airborne School and where do you go from there?
Once this Airborne assignment is over I’ll be up for CPT and will have take a command somewhere. So far I’m okay. A lot has changed since my butter bar days in Korea. I may make a video
Sir, first of all congrats! I leave for airborne at the start of May and was wondering if you had any tips for stuff to bring, is there a packing list or did just bring your ocps, apfus, etc? Is there enough downtime in the afternoon to tend to school things (I leave the week of college finals). Did you have a full week of quarantine before starting (what my cadre told me). Physical preparation, just run up until ship date? I also have a crazy fear of heights but trying to tell myself to trust the equip/training. I appreciate it! Thank you!
Hey I appreciate the video, super informative. Question: did the cadre get on people for how they got to the school? The website said “sterile government transport.” Thanks
After training and on the weekends. You finish trading around 1600. Most people didn’t PT on their own cuz all we wanted to do was sleep after training but if you actually have energy then go ahead!
Hey Sir, are they strict about your boots? Packing list says standard issue (no alterations) so i’m wondering if my oakleys will be okay. Any other clothing tips they weren’t as strict about? Thanks!
Got a brother in the states, born in the states, volunteering for 37F Psychological Operations Specialist. They’ll have to do 20 weeks of one station unit training, airborne training. What should they expect from their airborne course? Is it any different than normal airborne training? If I may ask. They’re currently in basic, week two.
Slightly late but Airborne is the least of his worries. Simple 3 week class where he learns how to fall out of an airplane. There’s only 1 airborne school so it’s the normal one
Tbh just stay away from standard issue. I went into the boot store in the PX and simply said “I want the boot that feels like a sneaker” and they pointed me to one and I love it. I don’t the know brand name though 😭

My platoon sergeant had a very similar experience when he was telling me his stories
For the flex arm hang do you need to pull up or do you start at the top of the bar
You just stay up after you pull yourself up
No more band reactions???
Most likely not on this channel…HOWEVER I created another channel specifically for band related content that I was preparing. Possibly in the future
Start jump week on monday. I'm so pumped..

Isn't 82nd's signature "Death from Above"???!!!

It is “America’s Guard of Honor”. Death from Above is just for T-shirts.
There’s a bunch of little slogans out there
No gym or beaver fit box. WACK.
THANKS for the video!
Yeah it sucks. Crazy thing is the cadre have a gym right on the first floor of the barracks. We just can’t use it. Thanks for watching!

tips on decreasing the impact when hitting the ground? How did it feel landing?
Always look before you slip, then slip into the wind
Slip in the opposite direction which the wind is blowing. Eyes on the horizon too easy!
Do not look at the ground under a round canopy. Keep your eyes on the horizon. Feet and knees together, but not rigid. When your feet first make contact with the ground, it should almost come as a surprise, then do your PLF. You’ll have good and bad PLF’s. Everyone has the occasional feet, ass, head PLF.

do they still require you to do 7 pullups before you enter sawdust pit?
We did 10 before we arrived and left
@@Jabarikjay do they still let the women do baby pullups where their feet never leave the ground?

I seen the packing list say army issues boots is that true? I threw my basic training boots away a long time ago?
You just need boots, not necessarily your basic training boots
I can't do a single pull up and I leave Friday... yikes
If you can do a flexed arm hang for you’re good. The pull ups aren’t graded they just tell you to do them before every formation so you’re fine

I’m sure you’ve gone through by now lol, alittle late. They were all formation runs. As you probably know now. I’ll say congratulations on graduating
Picking up from osut to airborne this Friday! Appreciate the help
No problem!
Running on a full stomach is not fun lol
At all! I haven’t done that since I joined the Army years ago. I Always run on an empty stomach!
Damn so you telling me I’m working out trying to max out apft just for us not to do it, that sucks
Keep trying to max. APFT is gone though so just focus on ACFT.
Just made it to bravo company how was the run pace
8:30-9:00
Thank you
Hey Sir, are they strict about your boots? Packing list says standard issue (no alterations) so i’m wondering if my oakleys will be okay. Any other clothing tips they weren’t as strict about? Thanks!
Don’t bring standard boots lol, you’ll be fine with your oakleys
Got a brother in the states, born in the states, volunteering for 37F Psychological Operations Specialist. They’ll have to do 20 weeks of one station unit training, airborne training. What should they expect from their airborne course? Is it any different than normal airborne training? If I may ask. They’re currently in basic, week two.
Slightly late but Airborne is the least of his worries. Simple 3 week class where he learns how to fall out of an airplane. There’s only 1 airborne school so it’s the normal one
How many weeks was it?
3
Can we bring civilian clothes ?
If they’re still not allowing students to go off post there’s no point. If you bring them you can’t wear them out the barracks
I’m a newly commissioned 2nd Lieutenant.
Which set of combat boots would you say are the most advantageous and stylish to buy ?
Tbh just stay away from standard issue. I went into the boot store in the PX and simply said “I want the boot that feels like a sneaker” and they pointed me to one and I love it. I don’t the know brand name though 😭
You did airborne at Bragg?
Benning
So you switch barracks after quarantine at Cornett?
I don’t know what Cornett is but we switched barracks once class started because our barracks weren’t available at the time.
Congrats sir!
Appreciate it!
Average pace for the runs?
8:00-9:00 per mile
What pace were the runs (you mentioned 3 miles MWF)
