It also speaks volumes that this is and END of course critique and not a washout.

This 27 year Soldier graduated with a Bullwinkle badge and should probably be heeded.

I have heard anecdotal stories that Air Assault has a 50% drop rate in the first few days. Airborne school has a much better rate.

Sometimes an intelligently worded course critique goes a long way.

As a Drill Sergeant we are taught how to judiciously dispense yelling and stress, it sounds to me like Air Assault school is run by a bunch of power trippers. Power trippers who don't have the proper training on how to motivate.

They overbook the school on purpose and then just try to get people to quit on Day Zero. Sounds like a colossal waste of money to me.

I remember being yelled at all day and night during this course. It reminded me of Basic Training. You just got to know how to block out the noise and concentrate on the Core of the Course.

I went through in 1997 and didn't get a single wrinkle in my tuxedo.
