00:01.210 --> 00:02.550
- This is the Guardian Angel

00:02.550 --> 00:04.340
Military Free-fall Jumpmaster course.

00:04.340 --> 00:07.510
We established this
course way back in 2015,

00:07.510 --> 00:09.270
and there were talks even before then

00:09.270 --> 00:10.400
to try and get this course here.

00:10.400 --> 00:12.729
And we facilitate that requirement

00:12.729 --> 00:14.640
to be Military Free-fall Jumpmasters

00:14.640 --> 00:16.620
not only in the Air Force, but
throughout the DoD as well.

00:16.620 --> 00:19.320
So, the first two weeks
are mostly academic weeks,

00:19.320 --> 00:21.040
the students learn everything
about the perch systems,

00:21.040 --> 00:22.900
everything they need to know
to be Free-fall Jumpmasters,

00:22.900 --> 00:24.540
with the exception of actually performing

00:24.540 --> 00:25.670
the air operations.

00:25.670 --> 00:26.810
So, in the third week of the course

00:26.810 --> 00:29.200
we take the students out,
we have our aircraft,

00:29.200 --> 00:31.920
we have them spot, and just
fulfilling all the roles

00:31.920 --> 00:33.030
of the Free-fall Jumpmaster.

00:33.030 --> 00:35.240
They have the jurisdiction
as far as the jump goes.

00:35.240 --> 00:36.280
They're in charge of the jumpers,

00:36.280 --> 00:37.270
for inspecting everything,

00:37.270 --> 00:38.630
make sure the jumpers are
wearing the equipment right,

00:38.630 --> 00:39.693
make sure that there are
no deficiencies within

00:39.693 --> 00:42.390
the equipment, making sure
that the jumpers are current.

00:42.390 --> 00:43.730
They are responsible for,

00:43.730 --> 00:45.050
up to the point of releasing the jumpers

00:45.050 --> 00:46.702
out of the aircraft.

00:46.702 --> 00:49.535
(energetic music)

00:56.980 --> 00:59.440
If it takes somebody who
has just enough jumps

00:59.440 --> 01:00.610
and just enough experience

01:00.610 --> 01:02.220
to meet their standards of this course,

01:02.220 --> 01:03.450
and by the time they leave here,

01:03.450 --> 01:05.340
they leave this course
ready to take on the world.

01:05.340 --> 01:07.860
They leave very confident,
motivated Jumpmaster,

01:07.860 --> 01:08.693
ready to go.

01:08.693 --> 01:10.900
(energetic music)
