I'll stick to being a Marine and humping everywhere if it means I can stay on the ground.
This is why I'm not Airborne

That guy is obviously trying out for the Leap Frogs before he even graduates basic airborne.
God made wind.... Man made canopy releases. Of course, not being a bean pole helped ensure that bullshit never happened to me. That, and what the hell is a hollywood jump anyway? LOL

Are you kidding? The ground was clearly the suck in that video. If it didn't keep getting in the way he may've had a fun ride.
Bah! Canopy fucking release! Hollywood jumps are for Coscom. The only Holloywood jumps I made was Sat. "fun jumps" when the C.O. felt we did not jump enough....that was never the case. We jumped all the fucking time.
F.M.

What's a "Hollywood" jump? @Firemedic
Anyone else surprised this is a Russian video? I know we've all seen the dash cam ones out there, they seems to do things not quite right but you can't stop watching.
No combat load, or generally any gear at all.
What the crazy Ranger's wife said. All jumps in Division or Ranger Batt are combat load...full ruck with name the MOS gear, aid bag for medic, radio for commo, dragon gunner, go gunner, mortars.....Plus 1950 (M4 bag), main chute, reserve, blah, blah, blah. It all hangs between you're legs and they fall asleep. Then you have to manage to exit the aircraft. Real fun.....While you gotta pee bad. Ask any Paratrooper / Ranger, what ever what the first thing on the ground...after popping said canopy release is and if they tell you get weapon ready, they are lying. It is get in a combat ready position, pull you're junk out and relieve yourself, then get weapon ready. LOL.
F.M.
I can remember........2 total hollywood jumps planned/executed at Batt. One of which was my tree landing which also happened to be the softest landing I ever had, thanks to the tree catching canopy and bending down to where I was placed on the ground kindly by the pine gods. The other was a pay-hurt jump for some reason I got slated for without being pay hurt, was supposed to be a blackhawk jump departing from Peden Field... ended up the only people who got to jump before winds were too high was reups.
I had a tree landing in Lejeune when we trained with some Marines and other people...That was fun, and hot and the mosquitos are the size of fucking Dodge Rams.
F.M.

In Russia, parachute jumps YOU.
We actually jump hollywood in the Marine Corps all the time. We aren't allowed to jump combat equipment, at night or into water (intentionally) if we aren't current so we normally start a jump package with a slick jump or two. We also do quarterly hollywood jumps to get everyone current who isn't.

We jumped Hollywood in Group more than CE.
Pre-skydiving: Man, I love jumping with the Army even when it sucks,
Post-skydiving: Screw this. A round driving my dick into the dirt on every jump? Do I have to jump this month? What's the point, I'm in Support Co.?
So does that count as more than 1 jump? lol
