I had a great job in the US Army, somewhat similar to these airmen- jumping “Hollywood”.

Hollywood- is military slang for parachuting or skydiving, absent the cumbersome combat gear that would be carried into battle, or worn during combat training jumps, adding about 75-100 lbs to one’s overall jump weight.

These jumpers are more than likely para-rescue or combat control team members. Woot! Woot!

Thanks for the great find.

I can’t begin to imagine the feel of jumping out of a plane.
