Night jumper, NOT! This is a hollywood jump! Extreme exit! Dirt Dart! 

Old times

Served with acres myself in the same unit fine nco

I feel the same now.

@@Rugaru 75 in a couple of months. I’d do it again if I had to but I’m not going to jump just for fun. I didn’t like it the first time around. I don’t see it improving any at this point.

Mine got scratched. CH47.

Very

AATW!

I wish I still worked there

@@Rugaru C/1/508

Yep

Happened to me just this past Wednesday. But they did a no drop. Took too long to open the door

AATW!

I served in the 313 MI from 96-98.

I was in the 313th from 85 to 86.....prior to that in the 3/325th Inf....2 years with only 1 or 2 day jumps...never Hollywood.

Yep

I wish I could rewind and get back. The best unit and people I have ever served with.

A-Co 4/325 AIR

Miss it daily. 4/325 AIR, A-Co and HHC Commo

Bravo Bulls

I’d rather be a baby in the belly of whore than member of the 504…

No one said the loadmaster was any good. LOL

As said, Old School

Rate of flow looked great and that’s how we tried to do it when I was in Division. Do they purposely go slower these days?

Back in those days, very little effort was made to slow the stick once it started moving. “Stick pushers” made it doubly hard to follow the guidance of a one second interval much less a “staggering” of jumpers either side of the aircraft. Once that first jumper was out the door, it was a mad rush to the door. We had our share of entanglements and “chance meetings” under the aircraft due to this. My first jump from a C-130 at Aviano with B Co 1/509 in 1975 was a harrowing experience with guys literally running out the doors!

We’re you even born when this video was taken?

@@jeffstone7912 I was on the jump

Goodbee, Louisiana. You know about that?

@@Rugaru that's rt there on da other side the lake from norco

trail edge, up and back

Your JM was right.

Exactly!

@Johnny Rep I like seeing the subtle differences between then and now, I'm a JM in Alaska currently. We get the door about 45 seconds from green light, mad dash to conduct door check

@@dannyhanson3434 I left AK in 2008.We had plenty of door time when standing up 4/25th. This was mainly a short call on the loadmaster.

@@Rugaru I was part of the 3/325th in 89 and went to the 82nd Jumpmaster school in 78. The one thing that I always asked for from the loadmaster was, that if all possible I wanted an "honest" one-minute time warning. Sometimes it did not happen like that and then one felt rushed as one did not want to circle around. On one jump, thank goodness I was part of the Drop Zone party they had the aircraft fly at least four times around the drop zone because it was a twelve C-130 formation (in-flight rig from Italy to Germany), and the Drop Zone Safety Officer was "reluctant" (maybe felt pressure to not cancel) to cancel the drop due to wind conditions on the DZ; Ultimately it was canceled, much to the relief of the jumpers that had to circle around four times. At an altitude of 800 AGL, one could see the first jumper standing in the door and I did not envy him and was glad that for that training exercise I was part of the advance party. Good times!!!

As I recall the “standby” command was used when jumping the C141. There was no command to “stand in the door” when jumping the 141.

@@geodes4762 That is correct.

Hmmm, did time in 4th Batt
