      @@lorenzobonazzi2269 trasferitisi negli USA non è affatto semplice. Io ottenni il visto di lavoro perché lavoravo per un’azienda italiana che aveva una sede in USA e loro mi sponsorizzarono il visto di lavoro. Con gli anni sono riuscito a trasformare il visto di lavoro in Green Card e poi di conseguenza sono arrivato alla cittadinanza. Questo percorso è durato in tutto oltre 10 anni. Per arruolarti nelle forze armate USA devi avere almeno la Green Card.

    I was there in September1983 ( 7/2/83 ) for my military service in " Folgore " Brigade, Was a fantastic experience and I managed to make about twenty launches from the Hercules C-130 and the Chinook helicopter Ch-47., I remember that with the parachutes of the time (I think they were called ch55 or something like that) you wanted to pull the risers but you moved very little ! I also discovered that the reinforced concrete towers of the parachuting school with the false nacelles had been designed by my engineer father who had studied at the Engineering University of Pisa.

    My biggest regret as a young 82nd Airborne paratrooper, was not earning a set of foreign jump wings. Back in the 80's, it seemed everyone at Ft. Bragg wore a set of foreign jump wings on their BDU's. I know its no longer authorized except for dress uniforms now. I did earn a German Schutzenschnur medal while I was in Germany.

      GRAZIE America per averci liberato da nazismo e fascismo. CONCORDO sul fatto che i paesi Europei della NATO aumentino le spese militari . Unica cosa con la quale sono d'accordo con chi spero non vinca le prossime elezioni Americane (trump) . Per troppo tempo l'Europa ha vissuto a SCROCCO degli Stati Uniti per la difesa . L'Europa è ora che spenda per farsi un'esercito Europeo rimanendo fortemente alleata dell'AMERICA .

    The Folgore Paratroopers fought against the Australians and British in the Second Battle of El Alamein (1942), with no more weapons and ammunition and down to the last man. At the end of the battle the English granted the survivors the honor of arms.
    PS. The Germans of the Africa-Corps escaped on the Tiger-Panthers, using the Italian "Allies" as a rear guard. But on the Eastern Front the Germans paid dearly.

      To say. The Folgore Paratroopers do bound launches at an altitude of 400 meters (1300ft) at night. They sporadically do bound jumps at even 213.36 meters (700 feets), but as training and in a non combat scenario is evalued as an useless risk, even if they are capable to do that.

    Hey SGT, commenting again one of your videos. I’m really interested in going airborne and could get the option this summer, what do you recommend to get over the heights and fear with jumping?

    • @pousinboots
      @pousinboots  Před 6 měsíci +6

      I recommend going to a rock climbing gym. Get harnessed in, climb up. Make sure you’re belayer is ready and let go of the wall.
      I used to do it for fun where I would even have some slack built in so that I fall a bit before the belayer would catch me.
      Don’t be afraid to push yourself off the wall. Use your legs also to get used to bouncing off of the wall. This instills trust in equipment which is what you need to be a paratrooper.

      Your "MAXIMUM Fear of Height" occurs at 34.1 Feet above Your Ground Altitude. As You go higher than that, Your fear DECREASES.
      Also, Instead of "Looking Down", develop the habit of "Looking Out toward the distant Horizon". It does help.

    1:50They´re not holding the static line in double-loop which may cause incidents if the line goes below the arm in the opening phase. That would have cost me a lot of pushups. Did that change or is it specific italian?
