Is a pretty easy school in the Army. When I went through it, had a blast. The jumps weren't bad though the damn running was, haha. I got to meet some great people from different branches, ranging from SGT to Officer in the Marines, Navy, Air Force and of course Army. We had about 500ish soldiers in the beginning and ended with about 200ish. How and why? Tons of drop outs and the PT test in the beginning. The club still exists for those who know what I mean, haha. Overall if you push yourself and get passed the bullshit, it's worth it all. Just having the Airborne tab helps and creates this pride of knowing you did something.

Man I have to somewhat agree with this ... in that I had first volunteered to go to Air Assault School at Ft. Campbell in the early 80s w/ a dropout, failed, graduation rate at about 50%. Cat 5 heat all day, mandatory hoses down by ice cold water 5 times during, as everyone knew, the "toughest 10 days in the Army"... And then, later, I had actually gotten, found, qualified for, a slot in Jump School at Benning...but only to say that, yes, I agree, Jump School, Airborne, blood wings are covered in the Army...but, still, jump school, to me, was easy as pie, lots of hype, almost all of the so-called Black Hats weren't even Air Asssult graduates, non-combat patch recent Vietnam Veterans, ex-Rangers, Special Forces, etc... Easy, albeit a still, hyped up school wherein, too, a lot of Air Force, Navy, Marine Corps personnel clogging up the ranks, making s**t even more difficult for regular Army Soldiers...a mess... Moreover, back then and unlike Air Asssult School, if you had at least made it to jump week and, say, broke a limd, leg, arm, during your first jump, they still gave you the wings! Air Asssult School, though, you can make it to the last day, fall out, get disqualified...no Wings whatsoever or period! Furthermore, if you go back, you didn't start where you had left off, but rather, you back to day 1 and or zero day....hype, hype, but, I'll still admit, Airborne troops, especially in WW III, awesome, real, fearless, fighters, troopers..............

Some of you fools say that Airborne School is easy, but in all honesty it is if you are in great physical condition. But one thing is certain, and it's the fact that the black hats will make it unbearable in that they will mess with your minds to try to get you to quit every single hour. And as a final thought, once you are airborne on that plane is when you realize what the hell you got yourself into. So do not believe that this course is easy, otherwise just as sure you will either fail or quit.

Going through Airborne School in 1986 was. Friday is in processing and equipment issue. Sat-Sun off. Week one Monday morning. US Army PT Test for everyone coming from everywhere, all MOSs, different service branches, Ranger School walk on candidates and foreign students. We Infantry OSUT guys have PT test scores that were good because it was only a month old so we were good to go. So we good to go guys start with at least 7 pull ups before PT. The guys who didn't do good and never did pull ups got a second chance the next day. PT was an hour and a half and a 3 mile run everyday except for Friday which was 4-5 miles. The Friday run is not the day to ever fail in week one or week two. They kick you out. Every morning was the same from day one when every time they ask you if you want to quit? Everyday was, "Do you want to quit?.". We had quitters everyday. If you quit you were done. If the Black Hats see that you are weak. They either make you quit or be recycled. Everyday we got smoked if either someone made a mistake or the Black Hats loved seeing you get smoked. Every morning I saw many guys just quit, and a long line at the First Sergeant's office everyday for 2 weeks. Jump Week was easy, I saw no one quit on the first jump and 2 get injured. Second jump was 6 guys with 5 injured. Third and last jumps nobody quit and two injuries. Getting your wings was worth it. It was interesting and it was fun.

Easiest school physically, hardest school mentally (for some), but worth it for sure! I went straight from Basic and AIT in August 2000 so my PT was at its peak and I had a blast! It was my first dose of freedom after Basic so I reveled in the free weekends, although you'll still be assigned Fire Guard duty and I even got a Staff Duty shift which is rare in Airborne school. For those of you who want to try it, the school is all mental. I was 30 when I enlisted in the Army so here is how I did it. First, don't stress about NOT being scared! It's impossible to suppress the fear you'll feel on the first jump no matter how much you pump yourself up, so don't stress over it on week 1. Again; take it one day at a time, don't skip ahead to Week 3 until you're on Week 3 otherwise you'll psych yourself out thinking and dwelling on it. Pay attention to the instruction as it will give you a sense of comfort and confidence during the first 2-weeks. Get plenty of sleep during the day before Jump Day and when I say day, I mean day! You won't sleep the night before; nobody did. During parachute and equipment checkout, focus on rigging your gear best you can! Don't think about the jump until you're standing up to hook up. The Sergeant Airbornes will draw out the walk to the aircraft to amp up the anxiety, so don't freak out about the loud noise from the plane engines which will be cranking as you're being loaded on. Once in the air, Fryar DZ is just a short distance so as soon as the plane goes wheels up, you'll hear the "10-Minutes" command. If you're near the front, you'll get overwhelmed when the jump doors open as the air and jet noise from outside will give you the pucker facter +10. The rest will be a blur and instinctive and before you know it, you be out the plane. Forget counting to 3000 as you'll be under canopy as soon as you're out the door. After that, you're simply along for the ride, so just check canopy and gain canopy control and enjoy the view. Only after the last jump, that famous night jump #5 that you will know if Airborne is for you or if you'll be happy as a 5 jump chump. Me, I loved it and sometimes wish I was still in, just for the free one way plane rides. :)
@ivanlowjones4 жыл бұрын
I still remember my very first airborne school jump at Lawson Field. We were getting our chutes rigged up and the instructors were walking through and checking our equipment. The black hat instructor came over to me and barked, "Private, what is the purpose of keeping your arm locked and extended once your static line is clipped onto the static line cable"? My reply, "Sgt. Airborne, that is to maintain a 1 second interval between jumpers as they exit the aircraft". "Excellent answer Pvt., I just might allow you to jump out of my aircraft today". He actually cracked a smile as he walked away and I knew then that nothing was going to stop me from wearing those jump wings. AATW!

That said, one does have to overcome ones fear of jumping out of a perfectly good airplane. And that discipline and to do so of ones own accord, to risk putting oneself behind enemy lines, well that's the difference. BTW, if you're thinking about Airborne School, please do yourself a favor and don't think it's going to be easy. The instructors will smell that out it a minute and you'll be in for a rough 3 weeks.

Jump school was not a place to get in shape in those days. If you weren't in it you were weaned out pretty fast. That's how they kept you away from Bragg back then, and in those days, mornings on Ardennes were murder. H-minus!

First is I've skydive before so thankfully I already have a idea what freefall is like but when you jump do you have to deploy your shoot or does the shoot automatically deploy when you leave the plane since you are connected to some line in the plane? Also how much extra pay can a newly promoted Sergeant expect with airborne? Will there also be hazard pay and imminent danger pay too? Thanks David!
@lizardman94943 жыл бұрын
Don’t know if your questions got answered, but your main chute will deploy on its own after about 6 seconds, if that fucks up you have to deploy your reserve manually. Paratroopers receive an extra 150 with each pay check. Not enough to jump outta a perfectly good aircraft if you ask me

I had this 1st Sgt. He told us that if the day ever came that you weren't nervous when in the DOOR, move over and don't put your brothers at risk. Not afraid mind you, just a tad nervous. That nervousness keeps you from doing something stupid.

Graduated in 1994. I was OSET at Ft. Sill. Held over 3 weeks. Next stop Ft Benning. They had the OLD barracks. You must of been with a bunch of chick's. We ran 5 miles every day. Friday 10 miles. If you fall out 2 runs you get recycled. Friday fall out recycled. Loved black hats smoking Colonels and see high ranking soldiers fail. Do you still have to do 10 pull-ups to eat?. Dude. My Airborne school was 5 weeks. Was easy for me and my brothers, cause we just came from Basic. Run all Day. I retired 2018 with 168 confirmed jumps with the 82nd. Not including Helos. Best time of my life. Welcome to the family broth. All The way!

Serious-Question: There is a guy named :Russell-Jay:Gould, [you can see him on War-Castles youtube channel] who claims that the military knows him very well and that he is actually the real commander-in-chief of the military...Because the United States Inc. is a defunct corporation with no Internationally-recognized lawful-authority to contract...Has anyone ever heard of him??? He says he owns the true Title-4 flag and that's why all 65,000+ corporations within their corporate-family, under the foreign-corporation doing business as 'United States Inc.' always use your parade-flag with the gold-fringe around it...Because everyone is operating under Martial Law...Anyone have any logical-thoughts and/or intelligent-opinions...Or better yet how about facts???

So I'm a 13F now at 4/25 and went through basic, ait and ab school last year. So once you're in ait you should be able to volunteer if you want and in ab school you should be able to volunteer also. Personally I would wait until ab school to volunteer if you still wanted to do rasp. When I when through ait I volunteered for ab school and I could've for rasp too if I wanted in ait. And at ab school they asked again if we wanted to go to rasp. Hope this helps

Jump school 1982. Went straight to Ft. Bragg as 11bravo. Alpha company 1/508. Good times. I did get tossed out the door maybe my third jump at jump school. I had door position and seen the green light come on...was waiting for the tap on the ass and jump master tossed my 120lb. body out the door. Very bad way to exit and risers were twisted bad...colusion with another guy...couple of leap frogs...we both landed safely all tangled up. Good times!
