I served with Folgore as “drill instructor” - Caporale Istruttore back in 1993/1994.
Now I live in West Texas and I’m also an American Citizen.

Airborne Brother! Glad I could bring back a piece of good memories back! 😃👍🏼
Ciao, posso chiederti come sei riuscito a trasferiti in USA io mi sto informando perché vorrei trasferirmi lì e iniziare una carriera militare ho scritto anche ai recruiter dello USArmy ma dicono che devo avere per forza la cittadinanza, se ti va potresti darmi qualche consiglio? Io ho attualmente 20 anni, grazie mille e buona giornata😊
@@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.
Ti auguro buona fortuna.
@@lorenzobonazzi2269 Ciao! Puoi entrare ne l'esercito americano con la cittadinanza o la "Green Card". Ti consiglio di fare la "Green Card Lottery". C'è un Italiano con noi chi era ne l'esercito Italiano con la Folgore e ha fatto la Green Card Lottery e adesso è nel U.S. Army con noi. Prova! Good Luck!

Real nice to see your practice. my grandfather is named Luigi Tosti he is 103 years old, and is a paratrooper of the Folgore. God bless your service for your country and people.

My own father was a paratrooper back in WWII ,unfortunately when he died , I was too little to ask for more details and he didn't use to talk about It, I asked once at the Sea when I saw a few scarsi on him and the he told me they were bullets and knives , but no more details . I was only 6 I wouldn't have understood the real meaning of them, he probably would tell me later on in my life but didn't have the time
Sir, as an Italian adopted by the great state of Texas, it make me thrice proud. for the continued partnersheep between the American and Italian armed forces (y'all now have a certified jumpmaster that attended the Italian school), for the profesionalism of our soldiers and for yuur Italian... you damn well deserve a medal for that! thanks Sir, thanks a lot.
Did a jump with Italian paratroops near the Alps in 1970. Man, they treated us good after the jump. The food and wine were great! I was with the 8th Airborne stationed in Germany. I was also with the Herd in Nam. Airborne!!
My father was a paratrooper Folgore in 69/70

I worked a few time with the Folgore back 87 and 88 when I was stationed at Camp Darby... great bunch of guys!
che bei ricordi , per un'anno ho fatto esattamente questo . in quella palestra ogni mese formavamo centinaia di ragazzi .
IV '88 .
GRANDE! Mi fa piacere che ho potuto portare dei bei ricordi 👌🏼
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.
Quanti ricondì , sono passato 46 anni ma lo spirito è sempre lo stesso , folgore for ever
Thanks for standing in the door 🫡.
Wow this was incredible, American Airborne and Italian Folgore! I really enjoyed the video, thanks!
It was a memorable experience worth sharing! You’re welcome! 😉
My dear brother had been a soldier of Folgore at the end of '70. I have always been so proud of him!!! ❤

E stato un onore e un sogno indimenticabile di fare un lancio con loro! 😃
Lovely footage❤ Cheers from an Italian guy living in Spain!
Non so se tu sia italo-americano ma il tuo italiano è perfetto, complimenti. FOLGORE!
Grazie! Non parlavo un cazzo d’Italiano quando sono arrivato 😂. Imparato tutto qua 😃 Bellissima lingua! 😍
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.
It’s too bad they don’t allow foreign jump wings on ACU’s anymore. It took me 4 years to get mine!
Folgore!!!! Greetings from Tuscany my friend...see you soon
WOW, your Italian is amazing, were did you learn how to speak so well, I'm truly impressed.
GRAZIE! I learned on my own. I really like languages so I put in the effort to learn. It took me 1 year to be fluent 😉
Middle school. 😄 no seriously you must comunicate during International deployments, so ..

Very interesting to see the training and all the safety procedures. And nice to see the area around Pisa, I often go there, lots of nice little towns, Lucca is a real gem. My compliments for your Italian.
I do like Lucca 😃 neat little town 👌🏼 I thoroughly enjoyed walking around. And thanks! Ci Provo!
Un bel addestramento militare lo dovrebbero fare tutti
Oh wow, those canopy's seem to be very maneuverable. When I was doing Italian jump they were still using T10's. Good to see you doing well dude.
Yeah, that’s the best chute I’ve jumped so far. Very maneuverable 👌🏼👌🏼👌🏼
Shite you say?
Yep, those Italian chutes are basically MC-6s. Super maneuverable for a static line chute
... those canopies*
@@leeriterii2128 Fixed it! I wrote “chute” (short for “parachute”) was a typo 🤦♂️
Bellissimo vedere come i nostri militari siano un punto di riferimento nel training di forze armate di altri paesi. Lo dico sempre che l'EI ha gli operatori più preparati in tutta l'Europa.
E specialmente i COMSUBIN che vanno regolarmente negli USA come coadiuvanti istruttori e più ancora gli Alpini coi Mountains
Simply amazing and congrats for your italian, sgt!
Thanks! Amazing experience! These Italian Jump Masters were very professional and detail oriented. EXPERTS! 💪🏼😃👍🏼

Excellente
Amazing narration.
Thanks!
bel video ero nella Folgore nel 1998 a livorno caserma vannucci.
gran video, complimenti! mi viene voglia di provare l'emozione del lancio, anche se ho superato i 60...
se fossi capo di stato della difesa, adotterei la lingua inglese in tutti gli addestramenti...
Awesome
Thanks for sharing the video. But I confess I become sleepy when watching this video.
You’re welcome!
That’s the reality of an airborne operation. It involves a LOT of preparation and “down time” prior to the actual execution of the jump. The purpose of this video is to show you all aspects of the jump. Not just the cool part.
@@pousinboots Please make a video that make us alive. That means you're not creative.

Zona lancio "NELLA", si chiama ancora così?! Era Altopascio (se non ricordo male) , mentre "TANIA" era Tassignano dove ho fatto i lanci dal C130 Hercules e dal CH47 Chinook. 1985 gestivo i collegamenti dalla sala radio della SMIPAR con l'aereoporto (CICOGNA 30 ALFA) e appunto le zone lancio NELLA e TANIA, bèi ricordi 👍
Si si, si chiama ancora così. Tania pero, non lo usano piu per colpa della strada vicino (se non mi sbaglio). Pero lo usano per fare dei test per i nuovi paracaduti lanciato dalla mongolfiera.
Non usano più la ZL TANIA, non lo sapevo! In effetti era vicina alla strada e in mezzo c'era anche un canale tipo acque di scarico (un mio amico c'era caduto dentro 😂). Grazie dell'informazione 👍
@@Graziano_Ferrari Certo!
AWESOME DUDES ......AIRBORNE !!!!!!
Loved the view
Sunset was BEAUTIFUL 😍
Proud to be italian !!!
Great video! Jumping from C-130s, but the troopers don't shuffle to the door. Interesting. I'm guessing things have changed from the 1980s. Yes, I'm old.
Us Americans don't shuffle anymore. We walk normally. But Italian Paras still shuffle at airborne school (CAPAR). This aircraft was the C-27J. Very similar to the C-130 😉
Excellente video, collegue, ca vaut bien une petite mousse !
Merci mon gars! 😃👍🏼
Dimenticavo...non c entra con la folgore, ma siamo tutti fratelli!!
Hey guys just wanted to say this experience is amazing, I apologize for some things I mentioned in the past, and I'm just glad that our airborne family surpasses that. Love you all and thanks for the comraderie...
Great video and great collaboration between us.
I hope to meet you next time.

Sono CONVINTISSIMO di essere dalla parte giusta ,stando con gli STATI UNITI , a differenza di tante CAZZATE che si sentono dire da parte di la pensa diversamente . La mia generazione (prima volta nella storia ) ha vissuto per 70 anni senza la guerra . RINGRAZIAMO GLI STATI UNITI .
Si intanto andiamo a fomentarle negli altri paesi.😏
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 .
diciamo che gli usa è meglio averli con che contro, ma è anche grazie a loro se la situazione attuale nel mondo è messa come è messa ora (come per esempio il voto contro il cessate il fuoco a gaza e l'eccessivo supporto e vendita di armi ad israele)... non sono certo diplomatici
@@Nick-rg8oz sì perché i russi lo sono 😂
Se ci troviamo in questa situazione è responsabilità di putin e basta. L’adesione alla NATO avviene su base volontaria, e se a Est non comprendono la cultura della libertà di scelta, allora è l’Est che deve soccombere.
se tu pensi che chi non la pensa come te dice CAZZATE, beh , allora autorizzi chiunque a pensare lo stesso di te. Buona vita.
bel video
Grazie 😉

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.
There wasn't panthers or tigers at that point of the war.
But the rest is correct.

I don't know why but the jump itself was shorter than I expected. I always imagined it would take some time to land, even though it would probably be counterproductive.
And we jumped high on this jump! On average our time in the air is 1 minute from jumping out the aircraft to touching the ground.
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.
Onori agli eredi del Gruppo Combattimento Folgore!
FOLGORE! 💪🏼⚡️🪂
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?
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.
General of the ARMY
@@generalkaffenberger8675 unfortunately didn’t get a slot to go to airborne school but I am heading to air assault school soon and I’ve successfully done the confidence climb so I know I can do it
Back in my Folgore-days it was the "fune di vincolo", not "nastro" ( rope, not ribbon).
Anyway, nice memories.
Si giusto si chiamava fune di vincolo e ci sonno ancora che lo chiamano così però ufficialmente adesso si chiama “Nastro di Vincolo” perché è proprio un nastro e non più una fune.
Grandeee viva le forze armate, viva l'esercito italiano viva l'Italia
FOLGORE!
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?
This is an Italian Jump to the Italian Airborne standard. That’s how they hold it. We hold a bite in the static line like you said in the U.S. Army.
@@pousinboots yea, I am proud to have earned the US wings in 1995 as a german member of the Airborn brotherhood and I saw now differences in procedures.
