My close friends' son was a halo jumper. He was KIA in Afghanistan two years ago. Godspeed Major Andrew Byers!

American Hero.
What Regiment was he?
No such thing as a HALO jumper! HALO/HAHOis a type of entry method used by special forces! E.i. SASR, seals, Delta, green berets paras ect. So he would've been a SF unit.
‘Fighting soldiers from the sky, fearless men who jump and die, men who mean just what they say, the fearless men of the green beret” 🇺🇸
Wow words physically showing meaning

Hooooooooooah

My brother, Capt. Wade T. Herrington did this during his whole twenty-year career in the US Army. He was the very best brother anyone could hope to have. I miss him more than I could ever state in mere words. RIP Tindall. Sgt. Herrington... US Army, (Ret.) TX
Rip vro
☺️👏🙏🇺🇸🇺🇸🕊️🕊️🕊️
These guys jump so often it becomes second nature like stepping on the curb. Yea with a gun and back pack and oh yea their belt with pistol, knife, ammo clips, other equipment. Glad their on our side. Your brother was a great guy. RIP.
Did he die jumping?
@@richardmillward8200 My brother died peacefully in his sleep at seventy something years old. His freakin wife and no one else even told me that my brother was gone. I had not heard from him in a while so I Googled his name to see if I could find out anything and what came up was his obituary. What a shock that was! That is a hell of a way to find out your brother had died. I think my brother must have left me something in his will and his wife did not tell me my brother had died so I did not get whatever my brother had left me in his will. I did not even get to go to his funeral in North Carolina. I live in Texas. I am the only one left in my family and I live alone at 77 years old.
MY SON SERVED FOUR TOURS AFGHANISTAN AS A GREEN BERET MEDICAL SPECIALTIST! HARD TO BELIEVE AFTER WATCHING THIS THAT HE ,,,,,, CHOSE!,,,, TO DO ALL THAT HE HAS DONE! SO VERY PROUD OF HIM OF COURSE!
Thank Him For His service? After coming Back from Kitzigen in 83I was done.

My son is a Green Beret stationed in Germany. He's being deployed to help with Troup training in another country
it amazes me how confident these guys look while waiting for the green light. the're like, just chilling, about to jump off a plane like a million feet in the air, no biggie.
+Ammar Abbasi how do i join. i wanted to usmc. but army has rangers, delta, barrets.
+dieing REPUBLIC talk to your recruiter and see if any slots are avaliable. delta is not a job you just sign up for. they offer it to you. and average age of delta soldier is 35. best way for Rangers is using the op 40 contract. special forces (green berets) i believe its job title is 18x? cant remember but those guys are tough as nails. hope if you do it that you gove it your absolute all. those contracts are very hard to get since theyre downsizing the military and are becoming more selective on how joins what. but mentally, prepare yourself. thats if you were being serious.
+dieing REPUBLIC Also, as in sure you know, dont let your recruiter BS you. gamble for your job
remember that your signing up for yourself. they WILL lie to you. if they say that op 40 or 18x isnt open, tell them to give you call when it is.
+Easton West my thoughts exactly man

@snake man Unless is a real mission, I'd imagine it would be pretty fun
@MrCloudseeker Well . . . er . . . . Hard to argue with your assessment
It's humor people it's a video of soldiers training they aren't in combat.
exactly but you have to have guts my first time doing it scared the crap out of me
Old good days gentlemen. Once a green beret, always green beret. I'll die next to my honoured beret. Respect and Honor to all of you!!! God bless you and thank you for your services 🙏!!!
God speed guys..and break a leg
What our service men do is beyond mind blowingly awesome. And most people have no idea.
Not HALO if none of them, including crew, are on O2.
That's why anyone who loves this country enough to serve and defend it should be allowed. Sexuality, gender identity, religion, race shouldn't matter. Only ability.
I'm Canadian but from what I understand about Green Berets makes them one of the most unsung, awesomely scary soldiers in the U.S. military. They can pretty well operate and use any type of machinery and weaponry be it land, sea or air and they specialize in forming militias or guerrilla units from local populations. Major respect to these soldiers.
Nah man that’s just the fun part the scary part is that they are meant to destabilize a whole country in a man team of 12
They are absolute machines. I was just a regular grunt. They made me look like dogshit. I make regular people look like dogshit.
03:31 There's always that one guy who has to break form 🤣🤣🤣
He knows what he's doing and he does it with style.
So you're giving an F to a platoon leader?
Gotta have fun some way
@@omicron5128 platoon leader?? Da Fuq😂
@@tony180a Squad Leader? Never heard of it or what
Either you have it or not. I was in this mood 35 years ago in Special Marine unit in Sweden. Only 80 pass the education, today it is about 20 men yearly depending it needs International combat experience in 18 months before entering this special unit. When you get to this point as this Green Barrets it is a very special feeling you are in a family you die for! To be Brothers in Arms are so spiritual so no one will understand if you have not experienced it
Ich habe es nie erlebt abet ich behaupte zu fühlen wie es sein muss einfach überwältigend und das Beste was es gibt !
I'm so grateful to finally hear my 2nd cousin Ken's story. He was sent home when I was 2.5 years old, and most of this was kept from me as I was way too young to hear it at the time. I wish I had the opportunity to hear this from him personally, but am glad that his story lives on now that I can fully appreciate what he, and other POW/MIA service members went through.
Kudos to the US military those who have served and now serving! Right on
Serving "bravely' behind Teenage Kurdish Girls who actually want to fight ISIS and don't just want to take the credit. US Troops are pussies, crying about being afraid of being captured. Russians don't cry when they are surronded by IS, the fight to last bullet, taking or 20 of them and use their last grenade to take out 5 more and leaving them nothing to show off on YT.
Ashley Thomas Why are you even on the video if you’re just gonna hate on American troops. I bet your country has worse troops.
KingJ2967
Not possible. USA has worst ever professional troops. Never has USA won a war alone.
My country's SAS are some of the best fighters on Earth but That's their achievement not mine.
Ashley Thomas Whatever makes you feel better about yourself.
คิดเองเออเอง
There's "service" to one's country by enlisting or in my case as a commissioned officer where one may actually get deployed to do something real, surviving it, returning home only to leave "service". I guess we call those types veterans or even combat veterans. But to do this kind of work is definitely something different, something truly special. These cats and those like them in other services are THE BEST men and women we have. The true 1%. Hats off to all of you, wherever you are. I have served, but you exemplify service. Seeing this makes me sleep well. Thank you all!
This is badass.God bless ever one of you brave souls and thank you for your service 🇺🇸
I was a former 2nd ForceReconnaissance Co. Marine, and on our first free-fall (HAHO) we jumped w/combat-equipment at 33k ft. on oxygen into an LZ at Bragg, off of the ramp I saw a lil’ bit of the curvature of the earth…thank’s to the C141 pilot and crew…to date I have over 1,500 jumps, and not all HALO!!! 🤙💓🇺🇸😝

Exactly what I was thinking
They're cloud gazing from the plane
but still, these guys have ice running through their veins!!!
They have my utmost respect. #salute from a Marine.

So what are you ultimately trying to say? That the Marines are ‘better’? Lmao

@@LuciousWeatherby Thank you.

I have such respect for these young men and women. I couldn’t jump out of a plane the way they do it. My legs were shaking just watching them do it and I’m sitting comfortably at home on solid ground.

Dude had a special forces tab, sapper tab, and airborne. What a badass. Wouldn’t be surprised if he earned more than those 3.
all Spec Ops have jump wings
Oh god just shut up.
Yeah, I could do this...NOT! Hats off to these guys. When you have Special Forces, Sapper, and Airborne tabs, I guess you can say you have accomplished something in your life.
Right on.... just imagine any of our enemies knowing that these “Silent Professionals” may be about to fall out of a pitch black, night sky & bring hell down on top of them in the middle of the night, without a sound or a warning.....Id imagine that fear alone may give a good number of em a sudden desire to pray to somethin’, & then find some damn strong anxiety meds LOL
u could do it if you needed too
Respect for all the painfully grueling and exhausting training they went through to get where they are. All to do an extremely dangerous job and risk their life every day. Respect.
Not to mention the arthritis they will have in later life.
And I know quite of few of them who have it.
All so you could sleep safe and sound in your bed at night.
One of the most exciting things that I was honored to experience while stationed at Bragg.
I am married to an ex Green Beret I like being at Bragg .Do you remember Smoke Bomb Hill? Didn"t they take down Iron Mike? My husbands plane caught on fire when he was about to make his cherry jump. They turned the plane around even though they were close to the drop zone. Go figure. This troops can go without sleep and hot food for days and still be up for a fire fight.Not only are they crack troops they are smart,too. I am glad I married a GB Life was never boring.I wish we could do it all over again.
My nephew if SF. Saved his team earned silver stare These men are special. See things and handle things. May god bless them ! 💪
The fact that man has learned to fly is AMAZING. Then the fact that man can jump from that flight, sail through the air and land on a specific target accurately is so AWESOME. Our military is the very BEST!!!!! Semper Fi.
MrAzrancher your military had he best soldiers due to the british
@@obi-wankenobi9187 still salty y'all went from an empire to living on an tiny island?
THE ULTIMATE yeah that’s funny cause we still made you our bitches, not only that we gave up the British empire ourselves and because all you Americans can get beaten by a bunch of rice picking farmers in Vietnam, I’m sure we can do it again considering you call in our special forces whenever there’s trouble. Good try though.
THE ULTIMATE also liking your own comment doesn’t make it any better.
@@obi-wankenobi9187 Yeah sure. Whatever floats your boat😂 This dude said they made us their bitch but we are still here being the most powerful country in the world. Lol your military is not even second or third powerful. Its ok man your country is now a shithole taken over by Muslims. So fuck you and your Islamic ass country
These dudes are just straight ☝ up badass. Ya gotta lovem. Very respectable group. That goes for all special forces
I hope these guys have fun during these jumps. They sure as heck have earned it.
My Dad was a master HALO instructor. His instructor certificate has that he jumped from 30,400 feet and fell for 143 seconds before deploying, they were trying to beat the Asian HALO record but the plane could not get any higher, this was 1967. They were jumping in Thailand. One comment he made about the jump, "It took for ever to get down, over 2 minutes, I was getting bored, jeez when is it going to be over." When he retired he became a civilian instructor for the US Army HALO committee.
I am a former grunt. Thanks to your dad. A badass!
I’m a Former Force Recon Marine and in my opinion The Special Forces are probably the most professional and efficient.
I agree. Im former 25 ID and think SF are like Ph.d's who can kill you. Plus they are almost exclusive NCO's which gives them a lot of years in green to develop. Unlike the SEALS, a soldier cannot go directly into SF. You have to have served already before you can get in.
Of course they’re are they’re not mirco managed like the regular force….things like uniform and appearance don’t matter to them only getting the job done is the priority and that would make anyone more efficient
watching this makes me so proud of my country...
@Marques Smith lmfao you're tweaked if they want to do it let them tf
Marques Smith lmao fucking idiot be glad we don’t have conscription dumbass

True that, the citizens comments express more awe, than understanding. Thats 5 miles, and most remarkable when you jump in the dark.......and nail it.
This is what i want to do when I get stuck on a flight with like 30 screaming babies
what airline is that bro

That's why we always have enemies lol.
iller mills But you are in massive debts to China , poverty level and jobless people rise but your government still spending mountains of money on weaponry
they can stop all foreign production , meaning no iphone and probs most of the man made things in the world but they might not , cuz it is owned my companies not government
ahh , u see you said right now , they already have 1 aircraft carrier so they can either buy more or make more , plus right now China is trying to take the southern asia ocean back
which is one of the key point in america's strong point in asia
German - American Friendship !!! Great Soldiers !!!

Russian solders great mens💪👍
Thank you for not putting music over this.
I had a business acquaintance that was a Green Beret. He would go missing for a couple of weeks every now and then and cone back to work with cuts and scratches some times.
Some 35 years later he tells me a little about where he was. He was a Halo jumper and also had done the vertical extraction thing where the plane catches you and jerks your straight up then reels you in.
He had does this back in the beginning of Halo and once he admitted to getting blown many miles into the wrong country. This was before we had good weather info and he could be dropped into a 100 mph wind they did not know was there. Poor guy had to steal a newspaper to figure out where he was and then walk 4 nights to get where he was supposed to be.
What a huge help weather satellites and GPS must be now.
From a brit paratrooper who has worked with several SF and US marines as always your guy's look the buisness you have some awesome kit.

This was like watching my old school G.I. Joe's come to life, those guy's with the masks look awesome! I am a civilian who was to selfish and chicken to join any branch of the Military when I was young enough because I didn't fully understand what It really meant and what they did for us. Today I am a different person and you people that are serving and have served have my utmost respect and I would like to thank you all and your families for the sacrifice you make for us and for those that have made the ultimate sacrifice ! God bless and God save America

Salute to this men in uniform so brave to jump in high altitude that looks so relax..and their faces so calm..
The C-130s from the 130th AW in West Virginia. That patch caught my attention immediately.
Brave men, God bless em. Thanks for kicking ass.
Football? Nah, no thanks, I'd rather watch these SF units perform. Such athleticism, conditioning and dedication! So much trainning leads up to a jump like this, it's just amazing what these men do. Go Army!!
Very nice to see how much better equipped these guys are compared to regular airborne, this is more like regular skydiving except they don't waste any time deploying their chutes.
Glenn McEnroe I know this comment is two years old but they open their chutes so early because this is a High Altitude High Opening (HAHO) Jump vs a normal High Altitude Low Opening (HALO) Jump
This one is HAHO not HALO that's why they open their chutes earlier. These guys are SFs as well so definitely they are better equipped than the 82nd.
No it's nothing like regular sky diving. They don't jump with 60 kilograms of equipment that is extraordinarily heavy difficult to even walk with in the plane and unstabilises your flight, and the glasses fog up because you sweat and oxygen mask on gives a very clostraphobic feeling and pre jump nerves all adds up to be nothing, nothing like regular sky diving. But yes, spec ops have the shit. They have to. Much can go wrong and does

How do you look so chill when you’re about to jump out of an actual plane
I’m Proud of these men for doing what they do, especially when I have a man that does that!!!
Funny as there are some comments on how calm everyone is. Wonder what they would say as we used to fall asleep waiting for our stick to go. AND for all those hesitating, you have a much greater chance of dying in your daily commute than you ever will jumping. Go try tandem & then AFF - you'll be fine!

Looks like so much fucking fun.
Benjamin Filbert It sure does, but if you consider how much pain these guys went through to be able to do stuff like this then it doesn't seem like so much fun

joe cheney Arkansas Army National Guard. 68N Helicopter Avionics. I got out back in 2000 though, back when they still flew hueys.
+Benjamin Filbert Cat got your tongue Joe? Oops, I guess you weren't expecting someone to come back with an actual MOS.
Never posted this. Spent summer of 1983 at the Rome, Ga airport learning to skydive ( 18 years old). First jump course was $65. Used T-10 and T-35 surplus rigs. Around 15 jumps they let me move up to a Paracommander PC. Few on them then they let me use squares. First two on a square fine. Third jump jumpmaster didn't inspect me. Had put belly band throw chute on twisted. Got out at 5000 and having fun.Reached down and threw out at estimated 3500 feet( no altimeter on). Waited few- nothing. Looked - throw out chute inflated but hung apparently. Yanked on it a few seconds- looked down- Jeezus!!! Pulled reserve- covered my face with arms. Jesus heard me as reserve opened at estimated 200 feet. Three second canopy ride then mother earth welcomed me with ass kicking hard landing. Everybody ran out to me- some of 'em crying. New nickname-Too Low Joe. So NOBODY tells me shit about a HALO as I probably have the record.
Sounds like a myth with no video evidence.
Well video was invented before 83, and sport jumpers had video by then. AFF is pretty much hands off by jump 4 or 5. Isn't HALO at 30k ft, O2 required.
This is an urban legend, I've read it on CZcams many times
Sure- ask any old time Georgia skydivers who were at the High Sky Parachute Club in Rome,Ga summer of 1983.
A55tech yeah if it was a Halo jump even the crew would have cold suits and mask absolute no breathable air up their . those mask are for them to be able to communicate on radio in case they see something bad stear away from the situation. are if well whatever that came up . they help a lot you couldn't hear crap if you didn't have them but I can see oxygen could be pumped in ...
This is Emerald Warrior practise year 2015 at Fl. First group Chile second USA 3. Türkiye, 4 th USA , I am a Jumpmaster of Türkiye, in this jump who is jumping and saluting at 03:31 ,, that was great memory, I retired, still parachute jumping is most adrenaline activity for me :)), saluting all parachutists from all over the world 🫡
Fighting soldiers from the sky. Fearless men that jump and die
There's something about that sound that is comforting... Can't explain it...

As cool as it gets. Army SF are silent professionals.
Do they have issues with PTSD though?
@@josephlawndale6065 I believe they are closely followed up by psychologists if they've been in hairy situations. But remember that these guys are trained to expect anything and as they operate often behind enemy lines, they are the attackers and they have the mentality of someone on the offence. It's often those that have to defend a position or being caught in an ambush that will need PTSD therapy later.
They looked so chilled and relaxed...like it's just another day at the office...which they probably were as there office is flying high like them. Good on them and keep smashing it.👊👊💪💪
God, I miss this. LRRP back during the Ford and Carter administrations. 10k feet from the back of a C-7 Caribou. A brotherhood like no other. Till Valhalla!
These guys are the eyes and ears for our country. When our country lose ONE SF soldier...we lose a lot.
If only our leaders"could match the soldiers...
In every jump there is some scintilla of fear. It is a part of achievement of something bigger than you. Blue sky to all of them!!!
I was at Ft Bragg for awhile and met some these guys . Top notch , best of the best
If it was high altitude, they’d be breathing oxygen. Love our troops
