Wake up gentlemen I think that it's gonna be hot today so let's go swimming. The new guy says alright let's do it. Get on your swim trunks and gym shoes and meet me in 10. But sarge where is the pool? Oh don't worry...haha.
I never static jumped only free fall. My 1st free fall jump was 10,500 ft. Delivered from a little Cessna w/pilots seat only, carrying 2 instructors, me and a photographer all on the floor. A FULL load. Walked out onto the structure under the wing, counted to 3 and simply let go. Floated into the massive abyss. Tested during 1st 30 seconds, next 2.5 minutes was an awesome ride back to terrafirma under a Yuge parafoil. Was like riding a fat tire bike, just cruising, executing voice commands from a ground operator. Totally Awesome, Woowho
Brings back memories of how loud ch-47s really are. I was in 83-89. The most Hollywood jump I had was just no equipment bag. We never jumped in shorts and t-shirts.... I guess it’s this generation.
@mouthwash884 ahh we didn't do water jumps in t shirts and shorts. Who are to tell me what I did in the army. You should think before you run your mouth.
@@williammason8566 Nah, they’ve never done training static line jumps into water in full kit. Big Army, Rangers, SF, MARSOC, Navy Seals etc all do the water jumps the same, in shorts, T-shirt and combat boots/tennis shoes. We do helocasting in full kit, but that’s a lot different.
Chase Anthony hey Brother - new chutes are 6 for high performance A/C- must be same for rotary wing? There would be a lot of reserve deployments back in the day after a five count. AATW/RLTW/DOL.
one soldier: Sir is there any chance that while we are on break we could maybe go for a swim in our downtime? superior: Sure ill coordinate a swim time for you soldier after jump: what the fuck superior: so what had happen was
Lmao, me as a civilian, never seen this type of stuff was just excited/terrified to see what would happen when he lands in the water, that chest carrier and parachute would certainly drown you. But then, POOF these enlarged arm puffers pop out of nowhere, made me laugh.
Is it bad that while watching this I couldn’t enjoy it for what it was because all I could think about is how much it sucks to hang, wash, rinse, hang, rinse , hang, then final rinse both the mc6 and reserve lol.... that damn parachute rigger mentality. Nice jump bro (=
You jump with two parachutes. The static line should pull open the parachute on your back, which should inflate by the time you count to 4 (or 6 if jumping from a helicopter). If it doesn't, then you deploy your reserve chute.
Can someone tell me why the other people in the plane not have parachutes on, is it because they are just training or if in war would everyone in plane wear them including pilots?.
Crew don't jump out, only the paratroopers. Only fighter pilots really have an ejection option at certain altitudes and speeds. Also, it's a Chinook (helicopter), not a plane.
@@corylynn8739 Thanks for that, oh dear and it's not a plane but a helicopter,sorry about my ignorance, I'd best read up on the types of military helicopters.I can just hear my sons saying, god mum just google it.Cheers.
@@mikluvin4633 So depending on which planes/helicopters and depending what equipment you have with you when you jump,does that mean you would also have different sized/shape parachutes as well to accommodate that.
petrina erskine currently for static line jumps there are only two types of parachutes they will use. Either an MC6 or a T11. The MC6 has “toggles” which are used to maneuver and steer the canopy and the T11 doesn’t. The main reason they would choose NOT to use an MC6 is during large amounts of jumpers from a c130 or c17. When your jumping 30 to 60 jumpers it can become chaos in the air if everyone steerable canopies. So weather your jumping full combat gear or just a Hollywood jump “jumping with no equipment” doesn’t dictate what parachute we will use. Nor does the type of aircraft.
Mark Bohm I’m not positive but I’ve heard it takes 3-6 seconds for a parachute to open once pulled so he was probably counting in case it didn’t open so he would know to open a backup parachute (this could be completely wrong, I’ve heard this about civilian parachuting so it might be different for military chutes)
This looks like a very basic training jump. No full uniform, no equipment. I assume that will come later. Of course, you must wait for boats to get to you. You can't immediately ditch the chute and move out on an exercise because the gov't, for some reason, wants its chute back. So ya gotta stay there in the water and wait for someone to pick up the chute while you bounce around on the surface like a bobber. Very anti-climactic.
@@Vision-zv6ho Well, having done this myself, I do "know stuff". I particularly like the self-revealing rejoinder of keyboard warriors, "Ok boomer"-- the apex of idiocy. What a maroon! What a maroon!
