For all of our jumping at SEAL Team 3 is below 13 grand.
It just makes the training more efficient.
And you'll jump during the daytime, maybe a little night jumping.
You'll probably have some lights for safety.
And if you look out of the airplane, you would be able to see the orange T on the drop zone, right?
That's your standard jump profile.
Maybe you'll jump with some weight.
You'll certainly jump with your weapon, probably your helmet, but not all your jumps because you're bringing guys from zero to be able to do tactical military free fall as a group.
When you go to the command, your jumps are
from 25,000 feet, you do 30 minutes of pre-breathing on oxygen, helmet, night vision, zero lights, an attack board that has your navigation system on it, 100 pounds of gear, your weapon, your oxygen, all your shit, and 45 dudes piled up in a C-17.
And you drop miles away from the drop zone because you're over ground speed at 25,000 feet is hauling ass, you know, because of the wind.
And if you take your hands out of your gloves at 25,000 feet, it's curtains.
Like you're not going to be able to use your fingers because it's so cold.
And you jump from way away.
obviously, and all your jump is completely blacked out.
Everybody turns IR lights on, their helmets and their infrared lights so you can see through night vision.
And you got to fly that canopy multiple, multiple miles and land everybody on a drop zone.
You know, that's, if you take every tactical thing we do,
and expand the same way you would expand free fall.
That's the difference at the command, which is, look, I want to own this.
