The US Army Special Operations Military Free Fall school (HALO / HAHO) is one of the most exciting, but difficult, schools to get a slot for in the military.
Let’s discuss
• Prerequisites
• Location
• Duration & Phases
• Sleep & Food Deprivation
• Harassment
• & Graduation Requirements
Military Free Fall can be an extremely fun experience…. As in a day-time jump without any gear or weapons. The cold air at altitude. The adrenalin rush. The whistle of the wind as you fall to earth at 120 miles an hour.
But it can also be terrifying… as in a night time operation, blacked out, with full combat gear, and weapon, on supplemental oxygen.

On my first jump in school my main didn't deploy. I tried to dip and pop the bubble to get it to free from the pack. Just as I was going to cut away the my main, instructor reached in my pack and pulled the main out (keep in mind were in mid flight). I knew at that moment I was being taught by the best the world has to offer. The instructors are no joke, world class individuals.

I went to the MFF (Military Freefall) course at Ft Bragg in the summer of '73. I was one of 6 Air Force members (3 CCT and 3 PJs) in the class. Us three CCT were from Pope (right next door) while the PJs were all from different units. I had about 100 sport freefall jumps and found the course very easy. We jumped on the drop zones at Ft Bragg. The instructors were very good and there was no harassment, just high expectations for attitude and performance. The NTE (night tactical equipment) jumps, especially those on oxygen did present a rather high pucker factor. Standing on the ramp, at 20,000 feet, at night was a feeling you had to experience to believe. Of course I was 23 at the time and, in my mind, bullet-proof. My TSgt and I were selected to stay on for the Jumpmaster course. About a year or two later the Air Force must have pulled some strings since I was invited to be the only Air Force member to participate in the initial trials of the HAHO (High Altitude, High Opening) program. For a while I felt that I was on top of the world.

I went through in 1992, and was on a Special Forces ODA. Back then HAHO wasn’t part of the course, it was picked up at the unit level. I was an experienced skydiver, but had a problem flying a rucksack. At only 5’4” tall the ruck definitely made a big difference.

@@jackjack4412 You are likely thinking of the price of tandem jumps. The price of the AFF course + regular jump tickets would definitely not reach $30000, even if you include brand new gear.

@jdam8674 2 года назад

Best school in the army. It was pretty tiring due to the nonstop tempo to get your jumps in before the weather got bad in the afternoons (due to winds) if you are going to this school my tip to you is to go to the commissary when you get there and buy at least 2 Gatorade's for each day and peanut butter and jelly. The reason is for when I went there were no meal breaks. You are when you had time. So if you get done packing fast enough that was your little break before rigging up and getting on the bird again. The last thing is just to listen to your instructor. They will make sure you are ok.

@dallasyap3064 2 года назад

No meal break? Are candidates really that busy? Bcoz if they are that busy, then I'm sure they'll get more than 30 freefall jumps in that course.

Has nothing to do with courage, more like proper training, confidence, and the approval of your instructors knowing your the right person for the job. Then conducting yourself in a safe professional manner with the right attitude to achieve success. A lot of people have courage to make the jump, but as you know it takes more then just courage to be successful.

@Woody-nc1ru 2 года назад

There's oodles of things that can go wrong. Bad pack job, trash pack. Your chute just doesn't open up. Your slider doesn't come down, the chute lines twisted, broke. For a MT1X, pulling at 3,000ft if it doesn't open for what ever reason, by 2500-2000ft your cutting it away. The red tab/handle just opposite of your main ripcord is the cut away handle. That releases your main chute, it completely goes away so your reserve is clear to open up. You grab the cut away handle with your right hand and grab your reserve ripcord with your left. Pull, pull. There's also a (RSL) reserve static line that connects to your main chute risers to your reserve discord. So it's a back up. Combat equipment, this gets tricky as you can probably see. If your ruck sack isn't nice and centered it can cause you to spin, then your in trouble. And combat O2, that adds even more. Gotta make sure you don't run into anybody either, freefall or in the saddle. If for some reason you get incapacitated during freefall, you have a automatic puller. (FF2) Its a mechanical, spring loaded devise that you set around your main ripcord. It goes off barometric pressure. There's a little fancy wheel calculator you use, you get the barometric pressure and line it with the feet above ground you want it to pull at. Above ground!!!!! Gotta remember, if your DZ is above see level you add that in!!! Example: Albuquerque NM is 5,000 ft above sea level. So you want your reserve to pull at 2500ft above the ground, so you have to add that to get 7500ft!!! into your calculation. Some teammates made that mistake and someone burned all the way in. Maybe try to look up MFFJM brief, it goes over a lot of malfunctions you can have.

Special Forces Detachment - Korea (SFDK) was, in the early 1980's, one of (if not THE first) US SF detachment to use and teach, via MTT missions, HAHO operations. I recall traveling to ROK in the early 80's to visit members of SFDK and learn about HAHO ops - some of which was then and may still be classified - whereupon I discovered that "stabilization" at altitude at night was, in the sardonic words of the CO ... "often subjective." All I know is that these guys are the best of the best and I have and will trust them with my life. Airborne.

@richardrejmer8721 2 года назад

I couldn't do that. . . HOWEVER, I *have* done a night SCUBA dive to 29 metres (95 feet) on a completely moonless and cloudy night, in pitch-black conditions - into a white-pointer shark infested area near a seal colony. As we hit the bottom, we had about 7 or 8 BIG white-pointers lazily circling us out there in the dark, just at the edge of our flashlight range. . Swam around on the bottom for 15 minutes, then started our slow ascent with decompression stops. . Sharks still circling *_Juuuust_* out there at flashlight range the whole time, and that hardly bothered me at all. . BUT a parachute free-fall jump. . Nope! Thanks all the same.

Could you do a video on Army Sappers?

The jump at 5.20 looks like it is in Europe, at Mont Saint Michel in Normandy in northern France . . . . .

I went to MFF school in the early 80s, and our class was the first class to train in the vertical wind tunnel, which at the time was a civilian wind tunnel located in Las Vegas. It was great training and the instructors were extremely professional, with minimal chickenshit throughout. This is a very good video, the only mistake I saw was at 2:38, where the female being checked out by the Jumpmaster is wearing a static line rig.

I was in the 509th on the demo team in the early 80s. I would have given my left nut to get this school. I jacked my left knee on landing a stack and got out. Loved jumping with the HALO det A guys from Bad Tölz during the herbsfest. Best summer of my life. Broke my heart when I jacked my knee. Treasure you experience for sure.

50 miles west of Yuma Arizona is a Navy base called NPTR. National Parachute Test Range. My Last duty station. So tell me again about Haho and Halo. My kind of recreation. Hoo-yah

I joined on the split-op program, so i did basic between my junior and senior years of high school then was scheduled for ait after i graduated. Well 2 weeks after i got home from boot, i had a motorcycle accident that shattered my left ankle. I didn't do my physical rehab therapy as diligently as was necessary, so i lost a few degrees of my range of motion. This has had zero impact on my life since, it didn't affect my job as a combat engineer, i was even a rock climber. But that 5% loss i was told disqualified me from any jump school. Well I've jumped as a civilian and love it, but I'd LOVE to do a HAHO jump. Hell when i saw that guy jump from, what was it? 100k ft? All i could say was "can i have next?" Tl;dr would i do this? Yes.

@josephholt7425 2 года назад

I would love to.

@deltaorion4826 2 года назад

Yeah, I would have the courage to jump out at night with full combat gear. Everything is air-droppable at least once.

Marine Recon and Raiders don’t go to this school. They have their own in Coolidge ran by Complete Parachute Solutions. Similar course, but they use the MMPS that allows for a drogue to be employed when jumping equipment, similar to jumping tandem or bundles.
