How to Jump Like a Paratrooper Without Joining the Military | Tactical Rifleman

- I am asking ALL loyal Tactical Rifleman fans to join the RCPT.
This video, we are going to follow Nickolas, Imri, Chad, me, and the rest of our TR family; as we go through Airborne School (for civilians) in Palatka Florida, with the Round Canopy Parachuting Team. I started off the week doing Jumpmaster Refresher, as I was already a jumpmaster in the Army before I retired. I then help the RCPT run the TR Team through their version of Jump School. I say "their version, because it was modeled off of the actual US Army Airborne School. However, I honestly and humbly say that this was the most professionally ran course I have ever seen. It was incredibly fun, while still ensuring the students learned all the information and remained SAFE. I learned more about airborne ops just watching this Airborne Course than I did during my whole 20+ years on airborne status.
We really enjoyed our week jumping with the RCPT. This video is the 2nd in this series, introducing you to the Team. Part-1 will cover the Round Canopy Parachuting Team. Part-3 will cover the C-47 aircraft. Great time indeed.

You can tell when the switch gets flipped from civilian life to SF when Karl is in the JM slot on the plane. Outstanding video on being alive!
This is great and all but I would always Pick freefall over static, softer on the knees 😂
RIGHT?
First thought I had was "but why tho?"
I believe you! I was a Jarhead so didn't jump while on active. But I have been skydiving 3 times! And plan on going again on my 40th Birthday!
Apples and oranges boys. Try free fall with all of your battle rattle in pitch black at 4 A.M. Yeah you hit hard but fancy walk in landings don't happen in this scenario. That's not including trees, water, airport fencing, aircraft, vehicles, yer battle buddies, ect
Why is free fall softer on the knees?
@@SPLTDP the landings are more controllef
Ohh boy what a fleshed out library you guys have: rolling cars, shooting from all 783 positions, building caches in the middle of the woods, rappelling, cqc, legit weapons and gears reviews, cyber security and now PARACHUTES !
I have lived a blessed life
I just recently jumped alongside RCPT in Normandy for the 80th Anniversary of D-Day. Great group of people doing great things!
Me too 🇬🇧 🇺🇸
Man this is a dream come true for me, I always wanted to be a paratrooper, but unfortunately could not meet the universality of service requirement for the Canadian military. I would love to come here some day.
Be glad to have you come on down. Next class is at the end of October.
Normally I’d say jumping out of a perfectly good airplane is not sane, but that old C47 looked great. Think jumping from a piece of history is outstanding. Great video!
Totally agree
Great video, I can say personally it was the best week of jumping and hanging out with so many great people. Way more fun the the Army lol .Nick and Chad did fantastic 👏 RLTW
One of the greatest things I've ever done. Thank you TR team and RCPT. See you in October!
Fantastic!
Very cool. Thank you for sharing. It's great that you are getting some time back with your son.
Thanks for watching!
Thank you Carl for ur service,sacrifice,an for standing up for us ,from mid coast Maine 🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸👍👍⚓️⚓️🇺🇸🇺🇸🇺🇸
The flag that run offf my house if for everyone that protected us ,an my nephew an E 8 sear instructor an for my father Korean vet TANKER .
In Maine we love our service men an women, we take it seriously ,god bless you all
Thanks for the support, TR
We had an Army warrant officer pilot in my unit in Germany that was was AF prior enlisted that was assigned to the AF Academy that got his Jump Wings while stationed there. We all still thought of him as a leg...
This is the best video of parachuting on RUclips
Even though I've been out for 10 years and I'm currently in a CAM boot due to my Paratrooper days catching up with me. I don't regret it. SKY SOLDIER FOR LIFE!
This looks AMAZING
Looks like y’all had an amazing experience. Way to go TR team.
Yes! Thank you!
Awesome!! Thanks for giving us a bird's eye view of what it's like to jump out of a perfectly good air plane!!
Glad you enjoyed it!
Karl - awesome video; jumping rounds (FS-14) in Canada regularly, we still use a CH-47/ DC-3.
Always remember the three point landing....
... feet, ass, head.
Great video Karl. This made me want to relive my glory days. I researched static line skydiving in my state and I'm arranging to go make some more jumps! Maybe I'll see you guys down in FL one year. (2-505 PIR).
We will be jumping again in March at RCPT
No one else is so direct and honest about promoting sponsors
Also of note, when Douglas engineers where deciding how much to strengthen the airframe, they resorted to driving a tractor over the wing, when the substructure held the weight and still flew they decided it was good enough.
Army jump school is 5 days of a lesson plan stretched out to 21 days. Pure boredom.
Idk when you went, but when I did it was a well structured crawl walk run for something new everyday
#TRUTH
Only a "leg" would pop off like that. Boredom? Lord!
@@tomswarts403 c'mon man, you seriously don't think that school could be chopped down to 5 days? Be honest.
I had a big, goofy smile on my face just watching this ! Must have been a great time for all of you !
We had a blast and ask everyone to support the RCPT.
Hell i miss it sooooo much to jump out a Plane.
Love being a part if RCPT! Such an awesome group of airborne brothers and sisters! AATW!
Too cool!
Second.... Grettings from Culiacán Sinaloa México...
This is completely awesome!
The scariest think to me at jump school was the towers. The guy before his chute disconnect about 75 up and he was dangling by his safety line. The cable system locked up and he was up there for about 30 minutes. Nothing like being the next one up after that.
our class was a lucky one... winds were too high for towers. Got to skip that entirely :)
That guy got a 30 minute break, that’s bullshit.
@@AGTXCD It is Airborne School the whole thing is a break. Drink all night and hurry up and wait all day.
So the TR team jumped from a WW2 veteran aircraft... amazing guys, thank you
I miss Everything about Jumping, except that sudden stop at the end.....LOL. Who the hell thought it was a good idea to let a "sky god" be the stick JM???....LOL. AATW
As a former JM. Only two things that fall from the sky..............
Outstanding!
Awesome. Might actually make me get over my fear of heights! Thanks Karl! Keep your head up!
Yeah, I'm scared of heights too.
I'm terrified of heights, and I *run* the training program. LOL
What a Great video!! Awesome job as JumpMaster Karl.
Love the video, more airborne stuff pretty please
More to come!
Great Stuff Karl !!! Hope everything is well on the hill ?? Stay Strong and Be Safe !! God Speed !!
Damn! Karl and Son jumping the WW2 kit!!! AWESOMENESS
I like Jerry J's dance with the chute
Lol skydive palatka.. Who is the Bulgarian in the team. Thats the thing i miss the most. And i promised my son that his first jump will be with me. Cheers brotha
Great report. Great times. But one static line parachute jump is enough. After that get training and a canopy or ram air chute and have more fun and save your legs( most of the time 🤣). Lot more options on how to kiss Mother Earth.
OUTFUCKINGSTANDING AIRBORNE!! I just loved everyone talking about a perfectly good airplane, Right.. almost time for another jump.. AATW! RCPT getting rid of the world of DNLs, one weekend at a time.
Couldn't agree more!
Fuck yeah, AIRBORNE, ALL THE WAY!
No Fair!! We learned the Hard Way!!!!
Thanks for the video, see you Tuesday.
I’ve jumped for sport since 2000, I have PLF’d more times than I can recall, boom!
For sport?!? Y’all are insane. I could never do this for fun. My knees are too fucked up
Jeff, I was the same till my son expressed interest... then, I HAD to do it... here we are afterwards and I must admit we DID have fun
@@TacticalRifleman 8 years is more than enough thank you 😂. Maybe when my daughter grows up I’ll go again with her. But that’s years ahead. I’ll try to get my friends to do it
"jump school" is a state of mind, then you learn how to jump out of a perfectly good airplane.
Outstanding Video!
Glad you liked it!
I used to serve in the Marine Corps in Korea, but unfortunately, I ended my military life without getting on a parachute. So, my wish is to ride a parachute beautifully. One day, I'll use this place to ride a parachute like an airlift.
😂 Just make sure you have good health insurance. As a paratrooper, I can’t tell you how many times I fucked myself up during landing.
Agreed
I never went to airborne school but I heard that fucking cadence about a hundred times per company run and I never realized how accurately it describes the process.
I hated cadence runs... yet I know them all. Thanks for your service, TR
Great video and program.
Thanks Brother
Glad you liked it!
awesome, cool. Historically necessary.
And useful for yongth to try airborne before get airborne. And Karl is insructory cool))
Did you cry "Geronimo!" before your jump?))))
Actually, I believe it was more like: "Follow Me... Oh, Shit!!!"
@@TacticalRifleman :)
A month of Benning in one day, surely you jest. I haven't jumped since the 80s.
Actually, Jump School is three days and you get 5 Jumps. Then, we got a couple more from the C-47, just to pop their cherries.
Good times!
AIRBORNE!
82nd 93-98
2/505 98-02
@@jaybee6505 SAPPER for Bco 2/505 good times
That Was awesome it remind me when I jumped 🤙
TEN MINUTES! GET READY!
This looks awesome
I couldn't get the P.C. doc to give me the all clear to jump to lose my leg status. However i would love to come hang out sometime and support the RCPT.
We would love to see you there in October
I want to do that!!
Wow that is so amazing
Cool training!
The real deal no question.
Looks fun!
Great video.
People are paying to static line jump? Send them to the 82nd or 173rd and let them get their fill in! My knees still hurt doing that SHïT!
But, will you still qualify as a super duper paratrooper?
4:49 did i hear that correctly? 😂
What type of parachute is that? I've only jumped T11 so far.
Nice. too old and screwed up to jump now. My time was 58-60 101st C119,C123,C130
Would love to but my knees say no.
Cool
LITERALLY!
That is some cool shit ! iam in, not far from there
De Oppresso Liber
any age restrictions ?
Went through Jump School in 1962!!!!!! Last jump was with a Mc1-1 in 1978.
Nope... old and young are all welcome.
Karl did you get your jump helmet situation squared away? I have several post WW2, Nam era and 1980s M1C Helmets.
I still need two with hinged metal loops, not welded.
Hey karl was the music on this video from a collection of what nick wrote/recorded?
Nah, we picked royalty free pieces from the Web. Nick will be writing us some soon.
👍💯🇺🇸
As an active duty paratrooper in the 173rd I have no idea why you would want to jump static line over free fall… free fall is better in every aspect for civilian jumping. Unless you are trying to milsim??? If you want to do army shit join the army and pass the school so it actually means something
Hofer, you are missing the point. We have another video about the RCPT that came out a few weeks ago, that you can find in our video archive, or just search RCPT. It outlines the WHY behind what they do. 90% of the jumpers are either former Airborne, military vets that never got to attend ABN School, or are there to honor loved ones that were proud to be ABN. There's also a lot of messed up vets out there, and the suicide rate of vets has just passed combat deaths (let that sink in). The RCPT gives these guys something to focus on bigger than their problems. The RCPT have literally brought guys back off the end and saved their lives.
I agree about MFF being better for most operations. I had literally hundreds of HALO jumps before I retired. However, I have never seen a civilian skydive club that has the camaraderie that you'll find at RCPT. Seeing the faces of the old Nam guys, dressed in their old uniforms & chutes, and the old WW2 vets sitting there cheering us on, truly was great indeed.
Thank you for your Service. Strength & Honor, TR
>>>Airborne!
How do I join??? I really want to be a part of this.. please. Can Someone tell me.
Go to RCPTusa.org
Kind of stupid, but when's I jumped from a Cessna 172/82, I was always afraid of stepping out on that little step because I might slip and fall before I was supposed to.🤷♂️🤦♂️🤯👍🤣
It is a small step
@@TacticalRifleman Right??? With my size 12 Clodhoppers
wait so you are up for minutes up there right? not the 10000 feet that civilians are limited to?
We are jumping round canopy static-line military chutes; so jumps are done at military 1,200 feet.
Anyone got a link for this? I want to do this with my dad for old times sake but can't find info to jump
RCPTUSA.ORG check them out. Have operation black cat at the end of October. We will be jumping from uh1 helos. Sign up for the basic jump course you will get 5 jumps. If you are already qualified and have your records then you can do a airborne refresher school.
Thanks Leif
What, no dials of death?
Hell No!!! THat's some scary stuff right there. THis was fun, and still ran very safely.
What is the URL for the company?
rcptusa.org/
How much does it cost?
Depends on what you want to do. YOu can find all the prices at RCPTUSA.com, but honestly I spend more on beer, food, lodging during the jump than the cost of actual chute rental. It is a non-profit, so they are just covering expenses. Thanks for watching, TR.
Nice Nice ! Show and tell there Awesome 😎 loved the music 🎶 is it on iTunes? Y’all should play some on intro on Tuesday 👍 live stream And more question 🙋♂️ If I’m at the door 🚪 is it to late ⏰ to say No I dont want to jump 😭? 😂🤣👏👍👌✌️🪖🇺🇸
If you’re on my stick, I’d let you sit back down, but I would NEVER let you live it down. I’d call you every couple of months just to remind you that you pussied out.
@@TacticalRifleman lol 😂 I’m jumping
If you sign up you get paid to do it!
Talk about HR3960 the bill that can Abolish and get rid of the ATF and how people can help pass it.
Jumping without 100lbs of gear in a drag bag and landing in a tree free environment actually does sound fun.
Agreed
