Site News Could You Have Stopped This? Vegas Shooting Analysis with Attorneys on Retainer

So I'm a member of the Texas A&M Corps of Cadets and I got a shot at going to Air Assault School this summer; should I take it and can anyone offer some advice about the course?

Do it. I had a line for the school in Germany. I received orders and my slot was pulled.

Take any and every school you have the chance to.

Drop.  You're a cadet and you were offered a shot at the Bullwinkle badge.  Of course you should take it.

Why wouldn't you?  Much more useful than Airborne I would imagine.

Yes, and may I repeat an oft mentioned old joke:

"Know what holds up a chicken's ass?"

"TWO LEGS!!!"


Sure, go get your whop-whop, "Aerosol-Death from a spray-can" wings.

Then next year go get some REAL wings!

Thanks for making a guy feel old.

And in the best ARFcom tradition, I got both.

Airborne School class #38-79, graduated 29 Aug 79.

Yeah, I know.  You were 98 days old...

PT, road marches, layouts, rappelling, road marches, PT, slingload, PT, roadmarches, rappelling, slingload, and maybe some more road marches.

its a good school-like everyone else said never pass up a chance to go to a school.

Hell yeah! Other than two zero weeks Air Assault school was a blast, of course I suffer from selective memory so YMMV.
1/24/2008 12:42:31 PM EDT
[#17]
Loved it.  Definitely go if you can.  I went through at Ft. Campbell February of 93.  Nothing like rappelling of the tower covered in snow and ice.  

It was a great time and the 12 mile road march at the end is nothing.  

Go

I'm probably going to Air Assault this summer too.




They wouldn't let me go to Airborne School twice!


AIRBORNE!

Where are you going to go to take the course?

Advice:

Get a new belt buckle for the first day

Don't be late

Have everything on the packing list, including the 3X5 card (bring spares of it, had a buddy finish the 12 mile road march but lost his 3X5 and had to redo the march to graduate)

Get comfortable standing underneath a helicopter

Have fun

Graduated Air Assault at Schofield Barracks (East Range) in 94.  The 12 mile road march was in the rain and mud (it sucked). I slowed down at the 3/4 mark to keep a few guys from my unit from falling out from blisters.

He's a cadet, not active duty.


If he fucks up a leg he's screwed. He doens't have the benifits as a solider. No medical discharge and benifits.

I tried out for Air Assault at Ft. Hood in '89.  They had a 15 mile (if I recall correctly) road march just to get selected for the class.  I didn't finish in top 150 or so of the 11ty million who wanted to go to the school.  I swear, every son of a bitch on Ft. Hood was at that road march.  I put in for airbourne and air assault many times but was never sent to the regular classes.
