What do US Army Paratroopers traditionally yell when jumping from an aeroplane?
When Paratroopers jump out of an airplane, they don't yell anything. They do execute the 1st point of performance; the first point of performance is to execute a proper exit, check body position, and count. Counting by 1000nds, (e.g., one thousand, two thousand, three thousand, four thousand) is how Paratroopers determine if they need to deploy their reserve parachute. If no opening shock from the main parachute is felt by four thousand (4 seconds after exiting the aircraft), the ripcord rip is pulled thus deploying the reserve parachute.

Can you join the army if you have a high school equivalency diploma?
Yes.
However, it's not easy. While you can enlist into any branch of the US armed forces without having a high school diploma, you must have a GED. In addition, you should be aware that only a small percentage of overall enlistees will be allowed entry in the military with only a GED each year.
The Air Force allows less than one percent of annual enlistments to be recruits without a high school diploma. The Marines have the next highest standards. No more than five percent of Marine recruits can be GED-holders. The Army allows no more than ten percent each year, and the Navy limits GED enlistments to no more than five to ten percent each year.
There are always many, many more GED-holders who want to enlist than there are available slots, so -- even to be considered -- a GED holder must score much higher on the ASVAB, than a high school diploma recruit.
However, if a recruit has 15 or more college credits, he/she is in the exact same enlistment category as a high school diploma holder.
