Looks like a great job, man! Wish I knew of something like this in the RAF seeing as I'm a Brit!
He is the Jumpmaster. He is making sure they jump at the correct place, so they land at the correct place. Thats why you see him looking out the side first. At the correct moment he gives them the signal to jump.
lmao yea i agree. i used to think HALO was a big deal till i started skydiving lol
Awsome pic SF guy! I wish I still jumped.
Actual militry def. of HALO are jumps made with an exit altitude of up to 35,000 feet MSL and a parachute deployment altitude at or BELOW 6,000 feet AGL. HAHO are jumps made with an exit altitude of up to 35,000 feet MSL and a parachute deployment altitude at or ABOVE 6,000 feet AGL.

I skydive also but the info is from my son who is a MFFI and teaches this stuff. HALO aint the movies. The FM IS THE authority.
Awesome!!!!
thats awesome
However no disrespect, hopefully that will be my next school because i want the badge
yup. McChord jet
life after death boiii
I don't jump. I'm not crazy!! But I will open the doors and allow others to leap to an uncertain fate. :-)
My dad told me you had to fold up your own parachute when he was in Special forces, you couldn't trust anyone with folding your stuff up.
cuz if it dont open, at least you can blame yourself
@godscuttingyoudown: Yes, and I'mstill alive...
Why jump out of a perfectly good aircraft?! LOL
Are you trained in HALO too?
What was the guy at the back telling them?
Really? I'm the trained airdrop loadmaster in the video. What do you do for a living?
You wouldn't be able to because you would be dead.
thats awesome
