Man you're not kidding about the skydiving world being full of old hippies. I civilian skydived from 1988 to 2004. Man at the fun we had before 911. With all the things we did I can't imagine going through what you guys did.
Much respect
Chad, thank you for these videos. Your demeanor and personality alone make these videos worth watching, aside from all the great content. Thank you again.
I totally agree. So collected, and brilliant too.
Thanks Chad, your stories are a inspiration to all of us old broken down guys.
Great video! I went through the Army jump school at Ft. Benning back in 2003 and that was about the most fun I had while in the Army. The first jump had me a bit nervous when the doors opened and I saw just how close 1,250 feet is to the ground but man...what a rush that was! I am only a 5 jump chump but have always wanted to try actual sky diving. Thanks for you service Chadd!
Airborne all the Way! And then some!
Thank you Shipmate for the continued conversation!
My first (and only) jump was from 15,000 ft. I did it for a Charity. 60 second freefall before my Tandem Instructor pulled the chord.
We came out in a somersault.
I remember looking down at birds circling below us.
❤
It was great 🎉
My 1st jump - 12500 ft - 20 degrees at altitude - jumped out, same thing tunnel vision and lack of awareness till 8000 ft so about 25 seconds, I was awakened by my main AFF jumpmaster shaking me by my leg and arm grips like i was some kid who got caught smashing his pumpkins on his porch at 2am holloween night... I did a practice touch checked main and reserve jump masters went for my second practice touch and wham! I was under my main at 4500 ft and watched my instructors peel off and track away.... Crazy experience.... Went on to jump over 330 civilian jumps, 12 night jumps, 2 🎈 jumps, halo training, and my 1st base jump in Moab last Oct. Thanks for sharing it brought back those memories like they were yesterday.
Not a hippie, but I am a skydiver. I second that motion that everyone should try it at least once. You’ll fall to the ground and your confidence in yourself will skyrocket.
In preparation for skydiving training, to get used to the height and to overcome our fear, we had to jump from the 3m and later also from the 5m tower every Friday after swimming in 10-weeks-programme. From week to week new jumping tricks like somersaults were added. We got three types of men:
1. „The ones who did perfectly jumps without any fear.“
2. „Some guys who had some fear because of the height, standing 10min on top of the springboard and then finally to crash into water“
3. „The fearless ones who gave all their will and passion they have to finally crash also into water.“
When they emerged from the water they looked like someone had beaten them up with a wooden slat in their face.
That was a nice spectacle for the instructors.
Good times! :)
Greetings from the „Schwarzwald“ GER
I was never airborne in the Marine Corps but I did get into jumping for a while afterwards as a civilian. My Jump Master was a prior active Marine and his 2 sons were as well. They assisted him and were about my age. The comradery made the experience even better. Anyway, I always wondered why there were active Seals jumping with civilians. Now I know why. Thanks for the video.
Hey Chad. I was a Navy Test Parachutist in the early 90's. My 1st jump was a static line water jump. I've got about 900 jumps (military & civilian). 40-ways killed it for me bro. Too many canopies in the air and everyone is shooting for the same target (no bueno). I'm 54 and quite content on the ground these days. Love the stories and the way you tell them. Thanks for your channel.
I had anaphylactic shock from a "siete del mar" (7 of sea) soup from a Mexican restaurant. I couldn't breath, I broke out in hives, I couldn't even speak to the hospital staff. Benadryl and Epi are life savers but the upper/downer effect is hell.
I know! I have never even been drunk before so when I started feel that way after they started the IV/injection, I turned to my husband and said “oh hell no, I’m not going through this!” And closed my eyes and went to sleep. 😂 Craziest feeling ever for me! I wondered if that’s what it feels like to take recreational drugs.
1126 jumps personally, in service and retired. I won't stop until my brain tells me it doesn't want to. 😁. Love yer vids Brother. ❤🇨🇦
My daughter wanted to go skydiving for her high school graduation present. It was her and her best friend, both adrenalin junkies and myself. The experience was absolutely amazing and yes, I would do it again. My profile picture is my daughter and I pre-jump.
I was a PR in the Navy. Allegedly, the old school before Pensacola, there was Lake Hurst NJ. When A school graduation, you jumped with your rig that you packed.
I’m just amazed you have kept all your certificates. If all else fails you have a future in scrapbooking for sure.
I’m starting my AFF later this year, I’m a former Army Paratrooper with 31 static line jumps but I’ve always wanted to free fall. Looking forward to progressing up to my C license. 🤘🏼😎🍻
I enjoyed your telling us about your experiences!
Skydiving is the best experience I've had besides my kids. But with military gear is such a next level. ☝️🤙
A couple hundred is a lot. You definitely got your sky time in👏
Intense! I’m petrified of heights.
Man what a tale! Ive been through a bad allergic reaction, it was so miserable, but to add to that, being chutted up, standing up in a stick shuffling out the door thinking "omg what am i going to do!" because i cant breathe!! Ive never felt any fear greater or more urgent than that feeling that comes over you when you realize your oxygen supply or ability to breath has been cut off, nor can I imagine any more panic inducing moment than that even being possible!!!
Man I love your shared experiences that youve acquired through your years of service in the Teams!
Thank you Chadd for sharing them with us!!!
Another excellent video. What a story! Skydiving Hippies training SF. Awesome!
So very sorry for the loss of your be beloved friend and devoted teammate...my condolences to all of his family and friends...
I just realized you posted this on the day of my birthday and my first ever skydive jump was a birthday gift to myself 22 years ago. Haven't jumped for a while now but it is fun indeed and totally agree, you have to do it at least once in your life. Peace.
Only got 55 jumps , nerves on all of them ! Free fall is great, landing safely is better.
Love your content, brightens my day . Laughing my ass off !
thoroughly enjoy hearing your experiences and how you turn a rigorous and strenuous situation into a real life memory that has meaning behind it
I've never jumped from a plane but the health issues you describe are real. In my job is see serious orthopedic injury from skydiving.
Had the pleasure of Airborne school at Ft. Benning, ‘87. Couple things stand out, the excellent cadre & thorough training regimen with all the phased devices (250 ft towers included, etc) we experienced which ensured success. The prayer, in that hallowed, stain-glass chapel before our first jump w/ the Chaplin - sobering!! As stick leader (1LT), standing in the side door for my first jump, w/ two great marines behind me, and staring out and down at the ground while the C-130 pilot made his final corrections to line us up for the DZ - it got real for me at that moment😂. Lastly, waiting for what seemed an eternity for that damn light to turn green and the jump master slapping me on the ass and yelling GO! Remember looking b/w my feet and seeing guys exiting the a/c like ants - amazing indelible picture culminating the entire experience, forever imprinted in my mind!
3 Of 7, you're the best thing on the internet.
Thanks for sharing! Love these episodes. Feels like I'm talking with good buddies. I am suprised yall did not use the Army free fall school.
Ignore the other reply. Seems a new kind of scam that will ask you to send a delivery fee for the give away stuff. This scammer usually pretend as the youtuber alt account.
Yea...Make more sense to send them to Ft Benning, Ga...
Chad love the content . Stay alert.
I love the jump.......I did see a canopy tangle so main release hit reserve pull
My favorite jump school rotation was marana AZ..
Both static and free fall. Mostly hollywood jumps. Good stuff.
Anaphylaxis and skydiving seems like a bad mix. Glad you realized what was going on before you jumped!
Crazy story. Man that is the deffinition of stress! Thank you!!!
Great story Dude....I enjoy your experiences
Thanks for your service. I’m not a military guy but my dad was. I agree with your view of skydiving. I’ve done two jumps so far. It’s certainly thrilling. I also scuba dive too.
Ive hauled jumpers in the past. One guy asked me where he was going to land? I told him to look for the boat, i told him that's if you missed it! Another guy told me to slow down so he didn't roll down the side of the plane! Told him if i slowed down more, wed fall out of the sky
Death by Sandwich, sounds like a 90s rockband.
I've jumped 3 times. The last one was 17 years after the first 2. Panic set in when I got to the door. When my instructor and I jumped out, it was awesome. Still got the taste at almost 50.
Now that's a ferocious story! You had the good sense to get medical attention but the same sandwich lady, same allergic reaction, damn! Thanks for making the video.
I was deployed 2× and almost collected all 2 DD 214s
Great Job Chadd,Thank you for sharing your experience it is inspiring Brother!
Skydiving was offered on weekends for a dollar a jump when I was in the 101st. After packing my chute for the 3rd time on a hot sticky day I came within a second of releasing my chute as it wasn’t inflating. Luckily it did but I remember my heart pumping so fast thinking I was going to need my reserve
chadd i enjoy your videos serious you are my hero thank you from the bottom of my heart i did 25 in the air force reserve and three active duty field artillery army at ft hood texas
Dude- we had a NOE ride on MC130 out of Iraq and we were PACKED AF on that bird. My dude was puking in his shirt almost all of us had to choke it down to Kuwait😅😅😅
Indeed a fantastic feat you have gone through, and nobody will truly understand your heart & desire. Heart to become what your mind was set on. Only a tiny percentage of people will accomplish your experiences and only a fraction of that! So much dang heart!!
👍💪 I did one…a tandem jump out of Marana, Az. SUPER FUN! Glad to hear you made it through your medical emergency.
This is so much fun to listen to your stories!!!
I wonder if my ticker would be strong enough to take the excitement of jumping of a plane. I am truly getting a kick watching this videos and hearing your story.
Brother, I love your videos! You are a true inspiration to me. Please keep them coming.
Thank you, good story.
We wanna see Chadd’s musical talents next 😆
Luv ya brother thank you for your service keep ‘Em coming.
I was fortunate to have my first of 2 dives being solo (not tandem) about 20 yrs ago. Had the goal to get my own chute and jump everyday. I loved it. Understandably not for everyone but I highly recommend it. I believe that it’s all tandem now if that is a consolation for the hesitant.
would love to just shake your hand and have a chat. Thanks Chadd
I feel you. You were lucky to make it to the ground. I have the allergy experience with Arugula, Celery and Lettuce. If I look at Arugula my throat and tongue start swelling. I got one on you. If I eat anything with any form of celery, my balls swell to the size of softballs. Epi-pen and Benadryl are the only hope, and they are a horrible combination. Take care.
Thank you man ! Injoy as always !
When I was active duty navy in mid 70s... I had a beard about long as Chad's. Regulations said it had to be well trimmed, and that was it! Today, I'm 70 yrs old and shave 2 to 3 times a week. Just thought I'd mention it. Go Chad!
Im glad I subscribed , love your honesty
Love hearing your stories.
Been there my brother. I would curl the nose when I packed my chute. My SF Career was ended on a Halo Jump in Eloy AZ during team certifications. I was jumping a brand new chute with 0 jumps on it on a Wall Locker Jump Turn Pull. It was the opening that did me in. It crushed my entire spine...I ended up fused 4 levels in my neck and 2 levels in my lower back. 6/14/14. Thew end.
I did a tandem jump, I must say that was one of the best emotional feelings that I personally expierenced. I agree, normally everyone should jump at least 1 time in their life, it´s a blast, and at the same time the emotional high is unexplainable.
Love it dude! Airborne
Cheers Chad, love these stories.
all the best
Ian
Great story God bless
Cant do a cartwheel, cant handle a sandwich from a roach coach. It's a miracle you made it through buds
Canopy open faced into the wind the other day, on my second tandem.
Hung up there like one of those big jet airliners waiting to land.
i love these stories , keep them up they are very intresting
Lol, transition from static line to Freefall is a fun journey . Two different worlds for sure
I know I’m late to the party but I’ve enjoyed the adventure so far!
Riding a Bull vs jumping from a plane. Man I can't even think how you get the same feeling. Yahooooo
When I was 19 I quit college and ended up on a chainsaw crew on the Canadian border. Just for the hell of it, I went skydiving twice at a tiny airfield out of an old Cessna 152 with no doors and oil leaking down the side. I'm glad I did it and it was an experience, and I can confirm the culture of the regular skydivers that were there as Chadd describes them.
I invested a lot of time into climbing before I skydived.
Only did it once because a fall is easy.
Cool experience, though.
Love the channel! Keep up the awesome work!
Ft Lewis WA 1980 CH-47. I remember getting thumbs up on the bird, I remember landing good, had to be good I wasn’t hurt. Ha How was it? Repack and out a couple lifts later. Good stuff. Have an all the way day. 🇺🇸
Altitude weather is good 👍 guy pull up in van with 4 instructor
I guess life went full circle now your a cool hippy great video thanks man you are one cool dude.
Thanks for the video. I was on a live fire range at ft Lewis Washington.
I was maneuvering through the range and was attacked by by yellow jackets the medics gave me epinephrine and benadryl, I was out it for the rest of the day.
Thanks, Chadd!
Hahahahahahaha. I burst out laughing at the hippie line because that's exactly what it's like. Great video 🪂it's surprising, though, that someone would get that far in the pipeline and DOR. That said, while I always enjoyed it, jumping out of a perfectly good plane is not a natural act. Screaming, "Geronimo!", out of the ass end of an aircraft ain't for everyone.
@7:58 - That's why that dude jumped out over Raleigh with damaged landing gear and without a parachute! (The pilot landed the damaged aircraft safely).
You gotta a knack for story telling amongst other talents! Hope you found out what sent you x 2 to the ER. Hoping to get selected for next year's basic at 3 of 7. Them coffee mugs you sell kick some butt. Keeps my drink hot for hours
I would ask friends of mine that jumped while in the service of our country "why would you jump from a perfectly good plane?" and they would ask why would I get on a boat that sinks on purpose. I enjoy your stories. From a Bubblehead fan, may God bless you
I am not very tech savvy, not sure how to direct message for this prize
Good One ! Like hearing ur training stories! I never jumped, but did see a couple live pilot ejections from their aircraft, while working the deck of a carrier.
Hair looking squared away 👍🇺🇸👍
Sure, everyone thinks they're a badass because they've done a HALO or HAHO, but I've heard that a HANO is definitely once in a lifetime experience.
Now. That is some scary ass story. Got to have some balls to do that.... I would DOR.....
Im with you. Army Jumping at Bragg, getting paid for it for my job. After that, too expensive for a young guy just out of the service, and then not worth the injury possibilities with a new family.
The bull riding comparison is on the $$.
i heard alot of the accidents happen when people use those suits.. the wing suits i think they are called.
First jump 17 years old out of a Cessna 172 at 3500 ft with a static line.
That used to happen to me too till we finally figured out I was allergic to raw tomatoes 🍅 and the allergy just showed up one day bc I was able to eat raw tomatoes years before and now I can eat raw tomatoes again it’s wild
What I finally figured out is that Anaphylaxis happy usually because a combination of things like extreme heat and eating something specific or a high stress situation with a belly full of whatever your body cant process
It’s the combination of things that activate the allergy
The bummer is once you have anaphylaxis once you are now susceptible to it happening more easily
The last time it happened almost killed ne because the more it happens the less effective the treatment is. So I definitely travel with an epipen great video brother
Keep up the great work.
Awesome 👏
Side note: I can’t imagine what Chief’s Initiation was like for a seal unit.
Sir, I could listen to you explain or talk about the old telephone books we used to use, back...in...the...day..
My wife has anaphylactic shock … you have our sympathies.
Adrenaline does many strange things. The tunnel vision is one great example.
We were always told to never jump out of a perfectly good airplane. Needless to say jumping wasn't a part of our job.
Maaaannnnnnn show off that badass mullet piece brother 🙌 😤 👌 🇺🇸 🇺🇸 🇺🇸
