I am telling you from experience; don't do it. Like everyone says being AIRBORNE opens so many doors including SPECIAL Operations.

Shelly,
The hardest walk you can make is the walk you make alone. Something inspired you to volunteer for Airborne. This hard walk we're discussing is the walk that makes you the strongest. That is the walk that builds your character the most. To all who are fighting battles alone, to all of you going against the grain, battling the naysayers - stay strong! This walk is hard, but the hardest walks lead to the greatest destinations. The toughest climbs always lead to the best views. It will be worth it in the end. And if you show what you are made of, the right people will show up in your life. You have qualities only a few can admire because most don't possess. You have strength only few can understand, because most have never experienced. Stay true to yourself and never give up! Attend the Airborne School and achieve that which many will fail to do.

Airborne school was a blast and it’s a tough school to get. Don’t pass it; you may never get another chance.

Here is another think Airborne School is the key entry point of Spec Ops Special Forces, Rangers and Navy Seals. Oh and forgot my brothers in Air Force Paramedics that come rescue our dumb asses. Thank you AF buddies. But message is you get Airborne the world of the military opens up to you, but from that point on NEVER

I'll put it this way all you have to say is I quit I'm not doing it and you will NEVER get any Spec Ops training again. but if that is not your deal then get out of it. Airborne and above are for lifetime and a very small brotherhood. And Sisterhood, when I was at Ft. Bragg in Special Forces we were experimenting with integrating Females but that is a very select few and like .001 percent of the nation and yes that is a . in front of the 001

"Airborne", is all voluntary.

When I went to Airborne school, they asked you, morning, afternoon and evening everyday, if you want to quit Jump School. If you said YES, you would be out the next day.

Don't know about if you have a contract, in my days, it's was about your "Word", and that meant something in those days.

You can ship to basic with it, just notify your DS you want to drop it and they'll work up the paper work and bring you in to sign it.
