*PLEASE HELP ME*

Im 16 and not the best kid. gotta couple ticketss no drug charges but an assault ticket a trespassing ticket and failure to appear or some dumb shit. I want to go to this class soon. I turn 17 in march. Will these tickets fuck me over, when should i go tothis class? when im 17 or should i wait a little. and also . i know this is a weird quesiton but do they let you smoke on the airplane or smoke at all?

@covington55 You should be okay... You can't smoke on the plane... ever.

I'm going there this fall but after airborne school does that mean I'll be put in an airborne unit or will it just be any infantry unit?

[savingpvtbryan]

It doesn't mean you'll go to an airborne unit but there's a good chance you will.

[xcutioners]

Do all the branches go here for airborne training?

[savingpvtbryan]

Yeah, army, air force, marines, and navy.

It's mostly all in your mind. There's a video on Youtube of a 35 year old man making Army Rangers which is exponentially harder than Airborne School. lol, the dude got bit by a brown recluse during it and fought thru infection despite the medics recommending him to drop out.

PFC Sword- 35M, could you tell me what airborne is like as far as freedoms. More like BCT or AIT, cellphones and such banned in barracks? I'm guessing weekend passes are definitely not there also..? Just a little curious about ANYTHING you could tell me bout airborne.

I'm signing next week hopefully everything going well and I will be choosing infantryman (11x), can't you choose what unit you want to be in before you go? Like aren't there specific units that require you to go through airborne school? I need some help ASAP, want to be prepared before I sign. Thank you.

@Dreaklock Thats what I have wondered.. I remember the seals all came in about a 20 or so man unit for jump school and never strayed apart.. they all wore gomer pyle type olive drab.. I thought that was cool..The school was so fast for me (Us Marine recon) I never got to talk to one.. We.. Us marines were not bunched as a strict unit like I saw them.. we got weekends off to go to bars ect..I think the jump school part was part of their BUDs training for the seals-no freedom..like USMC boot camp

I think this is the funnest anyone has had in a training school or at least funner than ranger school

[igloofantasies]

@sylux688 82nd is a division not an MOS, and you can't get any division guaranteed. Pick an MOS and get airborne school in your enlistment contract there is a good chance you'll go there or 25th ID ABN or 173rd or whatever. To everyone out there, recruiters are the best people to ask all your questions not random youtube users. Airborne school is a lot of fun and then again not fun at all lol, but one of the best accomplishments you will ever achieve.

Us Canadians do it so different we only pop one canopy release.

[Dreaklock]

I believe this is where the BUDs graduates go after they complete BUDs.

what do Infantry do when there not deployed and just working at a base?
