In 1975 or so we had a group of Belgian airborne soldiers come to Vicenza on an exchange with 1/509th ABCT. They brought along a lone female soldier who was quite pretty, airborne qualified and they were all going to make a helicopter jump out at VAAF on to Parson’s DZ. This was long, long before there were any sizable numbers of female airborne soldiers and most of us had never seen one with the exception of maybe a rigger or two. All sorts of speculation and yucking over who was going to do the JMPI especially the part with the squat! Can’t recall who did it but it was done with all the detached bedside manner of a doctor! Now an everyday occurrence but back then this was “shocking”!

“With your head approximately 68 inches away perform a visual inspection. “😂😂😂 if there is a number it will probably be on the written test.
The JM said “six to eight” you’re a no go at this station.

I don't own the rights to the video honestly - you'd have to contact the advanced airborne school located at Fort Bragg, NC.
Demonstrator very tough.
Marine must be Force Recon .
Recon or Force Recon...both go to jump school
And I thought us army EOD (Eglin afb, Indian head nb, Redstone arsenal) school was hard... Wow
