If you want to do both, try and get both.Response by MSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 2:14 PM2019-01-17T14:14:20-05:002019-01-17T14:14:20-05:00SFC Private RallyPoint Member4294601<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get everything you can in a contract, but no, there's no "guaranteed" air assault school unless you go to the 101st or another air assault unit.<br />An airborne unit will eventually send you to air assault school if you request it. There is an air assault unit that travels around the globe teaching at different posts, so you'll have the opportunity.Response by SFC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 2:31 PM2019-01-17T14:31:27-05:002019-01-17T14:31:27-05:00WO1 Private RallyPoint Member4294633<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can’t get Air Assault in your contract lol the only guarantee to get Air Assault is getting stationed at Ft Campbell. However, you can definitely get airborne in your contract.Response by WO1 Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 2:42 PM2019-01-17T14:42:11-05:002019-01-17T14:42:11-05:00LTC John Shaw4294667<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div><a class="dark-link bold-link" role="profile-hover" data-qtip-container="body" data-id="1553350" data-source-page-controller="question_response_contents" href="/profiles/1553350-johnathon-greer">Johnathon Greer</a> You should request 101st at Fort Campbell, KY. If assigned to the unit you will be required to attend Airborne and Air Assault. You need to be in the best shape possible before you attend these schools.Response by LTC John Shaw made Jan 17 at 2019 2:56 PM2019-01-17T14:56:55-05:002019-01-17T14:56:55-05:00SGM Private RallyPoint Member4294677<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can only get Airborne in a contract, in that you would attend Airborne school after AIT enroute to your assignment to 82nd, 173rd or some other Airborne assignment.<br />Air Assault is only "guaranteed" if your contract is for the 101st, then you would go to Air Assault school at Campbell sometime in your first year there.<br />If you want both, get Airborne in your contract, and keep asking for Air Assault after you get to your unit.Response by SGM Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 2:59 PM2019-01-17T14:59:51-05:002019-01-17T14:59:51-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member4295106<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>You can’t get air assault in your contract, most posts either have an air assault school or will have a team come there during the year.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 5:37 PM2019-01-17T17:37:30-05:002019-01-17T17:37:30-05:00SSG Private RallyPoint Member4295186<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Easy choice. Get airborne. It's easier to get an air assault slot later in your career.Response by SSG Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 6:17 PM2019-01-17T18:17:32-05:002019-01-17T18:17:32-05:00LTC Private RallyPoint Member4295309<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>It isn’t possible to get both in your contract. <br /><br />Take Airborne since it is very difficult to get now after many Airborne codes slots/units were taken off status. <br /><br />Once you get to your first unit worknhard and earn a slot to AA school. There are numerous schools now but the Sabaluski at Campbell is considered the best (hotly debated though) and it is now easier to get to AA school than ever before. Passing is still a challenge :)<br /><br />Good luck and maximize you benefits before signing. Get it all in the contract and make sure you live up to the agreement.Response by LTC Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 7:19 PM2019-01-17T19:19:00-05:002019-01-17T19:19:00-05:00SGT Private RallyPoint Member4295789<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Yes when you get to your unit they can send you if mission dictatesResponse by SGT Private RallyPoint Member made Jan 17 at 2019 9:58 PM2019-01-17T21:58:38-05:002019-01-17T21:58:38-05:00SPC Bryan Gustafson6742392<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Of course I am biased but I say, faced with the two choices - going to jump school is a no brainer. Later on, you can always learn how to slide down a rope fast.Response by SPC Bryan Gustafson made Feb 12 at 2021 11:42 PM2021-02-12T23:42:36-05:002021-02-12T23:42:36-05:00SSG David Brandgard6997707<div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>Get Airborne in your contract. If you end up assigned to the 101st they will send you to Air Assault, or somewhere in your career you can go. But getting Airborne later is unlikely.Response by SSG David Brandgard made May 23 at 2021 8:17 PM2021-05-23T20:17:06-04:002021-05-23T20:17:06-04:002019-01-17T14:04:48-05:00
