If you want to go airborne then you should have it in your contract and go to an airborne unit.

Are you active? Just pass both pt test and you&#39;ll get it 6 of my battles left right after ait Response by SPC Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 10 at 2017 10:42 PM 2017-12-10T22:42:25-05:00 2017-12-10T22:42:25-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3164242 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>For one you have to pass PT test of course, then pass your airborne physical, which you could get at your local Soldier Clinic. Then you need a Da 4187 sign by your Commander asking to attend Airborne Training, the hard part is now the Army won’t send you to Airborne unless you go to AB units, unless your unit is ok with loosing you to an AB unit then should be no issue then. Confirm that with your 1st line supervisor ask him to ask higher.

It won’t happen right away, there is a bit of proving you have to do. The unit will need it’s justification for A. Losing you for training, B. Betting on your succeeding C. Does it correspond with their METL - can they justify losing you for training, etc. all in all, the more junior you are, the easier it is to send you. Make it known in your face to face with your leadership, and in your monthly counselings Response by SSG(P) Private RallyPoint Member made Dec 11 at 2017 7:37 PM 2017-12-11T19:37:38-05:00 2017-12-11T19:37:38-05:00 SSG Private RallyPoint Member 3198201 <div class="images-v2-count-0"></div>They asked my class back in 08 who wants to go airborne and who wants home town recruiting, the guys going airborne was held over for two weeks after AIT. So just ask when your about a week out from graduation.

That will dictate how many QUOTA they get for seats at a airborne school house. More than likely it will be difficult because well let&#39;s face it they don&#39;t typically drop a D7R out of the sky......
