Wow, this video is incredibly well put together... good job! I am static line qualified... but this (free fall) is just INSANE!! I was reading some of the other comments... (frown!). No need to argue... just remember that we are (all service branches, regardless of MOS, etc) are all on the same team and we are all brothers and sisters in the end... It is all of us vs. the bad guys!!
just pure brilliance... these guys got guts.... who would of thought of jumping out of a perfect plane :D awesome vid... 5/5 This takes someone who is fearless and has the toughness of an ox... Thanks to all who give their lives to serve and protect the USA!!! Godbless em, and GODSPEED
@MrFlavorcrayon : The area where the free fall school is the Otay Mountain Range near the US/Mexican border. I work near by and I see them jump. The actual school is of Otay Lakes Rd mile marker 7. There is a civilian school and also the Navy FF school at the same location. I think some of their instructors are civilians with thousands of jumps under their belts.
You are very right,I had a 'Bail Out' bottle as well as special cold weather gear for my jump.however we do lower altitude jumps for practice.the video LOOKS like it was shot in Yuma.there was another comment posted a comment on the planes being jumped from were civilian planes.I find that rather odd myself,if only that I jumped frm. C-130's.of course that was in 1993.thanks for the reply..if your in the army try and apply for Ranger school,we need more good guy's like you out there.
I didn't know the Navy had their own HALO program(?)I jumped with a few out in Yuma and have met others that went there and to Bragg...I to am a former Ranger with HALO wings.however I earned them while going through Pathfinder school.although the program did't require it I was offered a slot and took it.
Well hand signals are used to communicate in the air, since you cant hear a voice in the air, and probably the videos on youtube are training videos thats why there are so much hand signals because they dont film on operations thats because Special Forces usually HALO drop.
Wow. I can't believe some of the people commenting aren't even familiar with Air Force Pararescue. Everyone keeps talking about Rangers, Marines and Seals. But seriously give respect where it is do. Pararescuemen are among the elite of the U.S. Military.
Maybe I should note more that My response was more rhetorical then questions. I'm no noob when it comes to methods of insertion, SF troops, HALO, HAHO, Static insertion or rope a doping it in. All SF are Airborne. I was reacting to the lack understanding that was being posted. Thanks for the reply though.
@ChristopherJManess // Thanks for your comment. What I meant was, all us us (servicemembers) vs the bad guys (all the folks whom we are fighting in this "war on terror"), etc. I serve my country proudly, and those who "bad guys" are the ones who have caused casualties (of our fellow service members). Aloha!
HALO jumps are above 25,000 ft, it does require oxygen mask..so for some of you out there who don't know this is not a HALO jump, this is just a free fall jump.

Sadly the movies have too many people misunderstanding HALO. What you see on the big screen is mostly fiction. The military definition of HALO and HAHO is quite different. If you don't do it for a living, ask someone who does.
Actually my comment about paratroopers was a rhetorical question. As for the radar comments that have been made. I believe they are asinine. A jumper cannot be detected because they are too small in weight and size. If they opened low because of radar what about when they originally jump out of the aircraft? Or how about HAHO jumps? We're talking less then 400 lbs with all equipment and smaller then a UAV. Except some of the super small UAVs.
@TheGreekxicans You said it the first time...we are all brothers and sisters. There is no such thing as bad guys, unless you include yourself, because we are all human.
@TheGreekxicans I really see it differently. I won't argue with you about it, but hope that your eyes will open, as mine did in Iraq. May you have inner peace.
that is not true if you are a recon marine you can parachute and/or scuba dive into areas its a part of some marines MOS MOS= militart occupational specialty
@ChristopherJManess// My eyes ARE open; we just have different opinions, that is all. You said it; we won't argue about it... so I guess we can agree to disagree.... Regardless... we are all here on TH-cam having a good time watching these motivating videos... this free fall video rocks and it really makes me want to do it; though I imagine it is 100 X scarier than a static line jump!
@Canuck1337 they wear oxygen masks, so they can breathe when 30, 000 feet up.. in this video, they havnt gone that high...this comment is a month old so im guessing you no that now
ok first of all your being ignorant marines do have mos if you go on the website and request information you get sent a booklet that summs up what there is to being a marine and it includes different MOS for enlisted Marines such as combat arms,enlisted aviation,combat service support,computers/communications/intelligence/electronics,and also the marine reserve so i support you for joining the army but you did not join the Marine Corps so you would not know much about the Marine Corps

This is still my favorite video you created!
Hell yeah they do. Combat Controllers do all kinds of crazy shit aside from that. I leave in january. I'm totally stoked
@JavierMen5 It is a HALO jump. Anything involving freefall (not a stand off (HAHO), is considered a Halo.
cant wait to get to this point in my military carerr. i am 11X Airborne in the Army leaving August 13 HOOOOAAAAHHHHH!!!!!
@MrFlavorcrayon Navy FF school is in San Diego. Civilians jump at the same DZ also. Its one of my favorite DZ's to visit.
I didn't know the Navy had their own HALO program(?)I jumped with a few out in Yuma and have met others that went there and to Bragg...I to am a former Ranger with HALO wings.however I earned them while going through Pathfinder school.although the program did't require it I was offered a slot and took it.

@EIIBipolarpig
It depends on the altitude there jumping off.
HALO doesn't mean that they have to wear oxygen but that they jump high and open low.
Wow. I can't believe some of the people commenting aren't even familiar with Air Force Pararescue. Everyone keeps talking about Rangers, Marines and Seals. But seriously give respect where it is do. Pararescuemen are among the elite of the U.S. Military.
I like this video

Good training.

HALO: High Altitude Low Opening
Airborne, its just a method of insertion now. What ever happened to "Paratroopers"?
Being a military freefall skydiving instructor in the skies of California sounds like an enjoyable job, doesn't it ?
damn this is sick i want to be a combat medic but i also want to jump and do everything how would i be able to get in the class ?
the hand signal that looks like a wave off on an aircraft carrier is saying i'm pulling my ripcord move.
hah yea thats true and also when the airplane is going up XD man i cant wait till i do this in the navy
HALO jumps are above 25,000 ft, it does require oxygen mask..so for some of you out there who don't know this is not a HALO jump, this is just a free fall jump.

@JavierMen5 im guessing halo is the name of this skydiving school?
Not sure but i guess it makes sense.
i honestly think the scariest part is standing in the door way but idk never done it...
whats that song called, and how does it feel to freefall?
true! AF PJs and Coast Guard Rescue teams aren't given enough credit!
--AROTC Cdt. Pvt. Kouba
so cool man!
the big "wristwatch" on their wrist is an altimeter. tells you how far from the ground you are.
Thats What i thought it meant but i wasnt sure. But the whole thing about the radars not detecting them thats genious!
Many in the Army or SF will tell you there is NO SUCH THING AS A PERFECTLY GOOD AIR PLANE!!! Specially an AF plane!!! :D
Marines can do HALO military freefall training any branch of the military can althogh its hard to get into
Sadly the movies have too many people misunderstanding HALO. What you see on the big screen is mostly fiction. The military definition of HALO and HAHO is quite different. If you don't do it for a living, ask someone who does.
how do you propel yourself forward like the third guy? that was pretty cool.
This looks like it would be fun but some people it took them 10 years to get into HALO military free fall training
Where exactly did you jump from? Looks almost like a desert down there.
Well the radar thing was just something i heard i never validated that information.
You don't even have to be in Special Forces. Just in a JSOC unit that does RSTA
Actually my comment about paratroopers was a rhetorical question.
As for the radar comments that have been made. I believe they are asinine. A jumper cannot be detected because they are too small in weight and size. If they opened low because of radar what about when they originally jump out of the aircraft? Or how about HAHO jumps? We're talking less then 400 lbs with all equipment and smaller then a UAV. Except some of the super small UAVs.
Not really sure. But A HALO Jump is good enough for me i mean the jumpers arent detected by enemy radars when doing a HALO jump
@TheGreekxicans You said it the first time...we are all brothers and sisters. There is no such thing as bad guys, unless you include yourself, because we are all human.
Of course before I deploy there are no slots to freefall and when I get back everyone has got there MFF wings...grrrr!
This looks so fucking wicked.
What does HALO stand for. I know its High Altitude but what is the L and O?
I've also heard It's can be about 40 minutes. I'm sure it can go longer. However we need someone who has actually done this stuff to tell us..
Man, I want to do this so bad.
O_o thats so fuckin awesome...but scary
dont you need to be on oxygen to halo jump because halo jumps are usually conducted around 25,000 to 30,000 feet?
the parachute is the worst part...I like to fall fast and get it over with
@TheGreekxicans I really see it differently. I won't argue with you about it, but hope that your eyes will open, as mine did in Iraq. May you have inner peace.
sick
i dont think its just navy, pretty sure its a joint school at Yuma
hey guys i9 was thinkin should i be in special opps or the 3rd Battalion, Royal Australian Regiment
why does so many military videos have breaking benjamin music?
@MrKANbeats im thinking about it to
directional commands to see if they can move in the air
navy military free fall school contains personnel fromk eod,swcc, and seal
@LevelCarnivore1 Force Recon is full ... MARSOC needs new bodys but first join the Marine Corps kid.. and no not all marines are airborne...
Sounds like Breaking Benjamin Breath
that is not true if you are a recon marine you can parachute and/or scuba dive into areas its a part of some marines MOS
MOS= militart occupational specialty

if its oz, who lives across the street from you?
its training so hes telling the student what to do.
I thought they had to wear oxygen on HALO jumps?
ok first of all your being ignorant marines do have mos if you go on the website and request information you get sent a booklet that summs up what there is to being a marine and it includes different MOS for enlisted Marines such as combat arms,enlisted aviation,combat service support,computers/communications/intelligence/electronics,and also the marine reserve so i support you for joining the army but you did not join the Marine Corps so you would not know much about the Marine Corps
Apply?
@jamiehyne ha. im kinda stupid for askin that haha. but thanks
Hmm. Yes you do but this is isnt 25-30K feet. Probley less since its training :). Not 100% sure though
ooooh and by the way, at the start of the vid they even tell you is "free fall" geez..check yourself before insulting people..
