I’m leaving for Airborne School in about a month. What should I be ready for? What are the standards?

It's a lot of tough work, but floating down to Earth under that parachute with the view is unbeatable!

Work on chin-ups. Get ready to be hollered at, called dirty leg and other names. When you get to tower week, don't tighten your harnesss so tight you can't stand straight. You will jump out of the 34 foot tower until you are very sore. It took me a few days to figure that one. Don't close your eyes and do everything the way the Black Hats tell you. You will be jump qualified if you make it. You are not airborne until you make your cherry jump in a airborne unit. You will not regret making the leap!
