In your opinion what is the most elite school and why?

Of course each school has its different needs and reasons for being around in todays Army. If you had the chance what school would you like to attend and be proud to attend?

From my 4 in a half years in the Army I've heard everything from Airborne (Bragg Babies mostly) to Special Forces for obvious reason. In my opinion the Pathfinder badge is most elite. For reasons unknown to myself even. I think the reasoning behind the people being around that are certified are for excellent reasons. I have not had the opportunities to attends any schools this far. One day I'll be rocking Air Assualt, Airbone, and Pathfinder.

Just my thoughts.

First I would have to say that I do not necessarily put "Special Forces Training" into the schools category as it is a total M.O.S. transformation.

I can say that Airborne is not really that elite to me as it is the easiest of all mentioned. The cool thing is getting to wear the Maroon Beret. Definitely an Earned Device.

Air Assault is physically Demanding, Pathfinder is mentally demanding, and Scuba is both.

I would have to say the Combat Diver is the most Elite. For health and positioning reasons I will never get that.

I may have an opportunity to attend Pathfinder this year though.

Yes, that is true. I wish regular Units would do as when I was with Group; wear the one you are authorized.
Unfortunately in Airborne Units people get to wear the Beret even though they are not qualified. Something which I dislike.
We live in an everyone must be equal society so no one feels left out.
Just like when they took the Black Beret from the RANGERS. Totally uncalled for so as to make others feel special for regular service.

This Question gets two answers. most elite I think is delta force, supported by how little we know and my one drill sgt's description of when he saw them training.
As for which I would most like to go through would be ranger school. This is because of my grandfather who was in the first ranger school class.
