The Paratroopers in Diani

It has been the highest of pleasures and an absolute honour for us to work with airborne units of the Kenya Defence Force over the last two months.
An extraordinary level of dedication and professionalism results in a new generation of paratroopers for Kenya and Africa as a whole. “Huja!!”

No nO …HELLL NO!!
People nope I can’t trust fate like that.Karma is a bitch and I ain gone be caught slacking

They meant this particular team’s current training…@jazzman is the 20th para same as the green berets?

Yap, that’s them. Being a commonwealth nation, Paras is more known than green berets.

Parachute ikikatalia juu kufunguka inakuwa aje, kujiharia

Kuna nyingine ndogo ya emergency…

Daaaaamn!!! The pictures are breathtaking…This is in by bucket list.

That is my fear like fuck hakuna second take…if your chute fails zote mbili, its hoping the others fikia you and release it holding on to each other!!
FUCK NO! was invited once when in Portugal nilikwama kwa runway didn’t even board the plane was like fuck no! I can climb mountains fuck it even board small planes but parachute is pushing it too far for me.

@Jazzman nilisoma eti parachute landing adversely affects the back and legs with time. ni ukweli?

Same here…but 1st ni bunjee jumbing and going to sa via tz, zambia Zimbabwe

Not really, if done according to set standards. Hapa ndio madaktari husema inategemea na physiology yako. One may develop mild, moderate or severe degeneration as skydiving puts enormous stress on the spine.

Hapo kwa miguu ni mtu kuland vibaya.

Is it a battalion? Or smaller
