I'm going to Air Assault school in about a month or so. I'm a skinny guy, 125 lbs 68". Any other skinny guys make it through? Tips?

Skinny has nothing to do with passing the course. It is seriously 90% mental. You can power through the physical stuff. Work on your upper body strength and you should be fine.
Most people fail out on the technical stuff. Pay attention to detail. That is critical. Follow the packing list to a T.
Good luck.

Awesome. I've just been real concerned with the physical aspect. As long as I push through that, I should be fine.
Thank you

As long as you can climb the rope on the zero day, you'll be fine. Just learn how to climb the rope using your legs (instead of relying on your upper body strength). After that, weight is immaterial.

Rope climbing I haven't done since basic, but I was able to do it there. I'm hopo ng to find somewhere I can practice that

I had a friend do it and he was about the same build. He told me “don’t break yourself.” He said when you’re getting smoked, save the energy for the O Course.
