The amount of trust these soldiers have for the pilots
I did hundreds of these in the worst of weather and conditions back in the early 1990s. I even got trapped between the bottom of a chinook and the webbing over our trailer one time because the soldier hooking the HMMWV in the front was too timid. Thinking back just amazes me.
Yeah we had a whole new crew on it during the video, the one who got “hit” in the head by the tire in the beginning just finished OSUT 3 days ago, so i can understand it being a lot to take in 😂
This is so awesome
Dude those helicopters are so cool 😱
Yeah aviation and what they can do always blows my mind!
Nothing gets your adrenaline going like having 13 tons hovering right over your head😅.. Now imagine doing this on a a ship with 50mph winds and 20ft waves😂
Wow procedures have changed from the 80’s when I was with the 101st and the 82nd.
I think it was a familiarization course for individuals that put in a 4187 for Air Assault school. The hook people have 3ID on their helmets. 3ID is mechanized and really has no sling load capable vehicles that are front line combat.
I served with STRIKE FORCE and IRON RAKKASANS after I was with the PHANTOM brigade 3ID in Desert Storm.
That's right, last century.
You can just call me Gruntpa.
101st here. this gets my blood boiling again! I did this back in 01.
Dude, mate, buddy. This is fucking sensational. If only they had fairground rides like this. Hahahah this made me smile with joy like a little boy. That must be the best job in the world having that beautiful big green lady just gently creeeping up to you all. Bloody awesome to see this guys! Keep up the good work, stay safe and Cheers from Australia!
I just remember that having 15 tons hovering over you was so surreal that it didn't seem dangerous at the time. I mean you "know" it was dangerous, but it lost all feeling of danger.
🔥🔥🔥
Do you know what the technical name is for the pallet/skid used for sling loading a vehicle that doesn't have sling load points?
Dude takes a wheel to the head and acts totally cool with it. That's trust.
Just another day 😂
Do you plan on uploading any more OSUT footage?
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Thanks 👍🏻

They ain't RAKKASANS. Then again 3rd ID is mechanized so I don't know why they are sling loading shit. Maybe this was familiarization training for people that put in a 4187 for Air Assault school.
I say this with the experience of being being in the Phantom brigade in Desert Storm and later serving with the IRON RAKKASANS.
Many units conduct air assault operations not just the 101st. That was an entire heavy weapons company and not familiarization for air assault school. You do not need to be air assault qualified to hook up sling loads, only air assault personnel verify loads before pickup.
@@FitOneTech like 10th mountain and 25th but they are light infantry not mechanized like 3rd. When I was 2nd ID in Korea the light battalions would conduct air assault operations but not the mech or armor. Maybe if they were loading fuel blivets I could understand. Either way way they need more training. Also using a Chinook for one humvee when it can carry two doesn't seem logistically efficient.
@@jasonreisenberger1285 so this battalion is actually light infantry that was part of 3ID. That’s why they were conducting air assault “missions”. We were air assaulting out to FTX. It was absolutely a “beginners” level execution as most of us have never done it before. Totally get you all are the experts 😂 but it was really good training for us to see how we can insert and get our weapons mounted quickly.
@@FitOneTech 101st, 2nd/320th FA (13E 1992-1994). We did it so much, it just became routine.
