With the virus going around, is Airborne School only available for Soldiers that are already here on Fort Benning ?

I've been with my training company for a month or so and I got put on the list for airborne school, I was told that my chances of going are higher now because only people here on benning already were the only ones going as of now due to the virus. Anyone here know how true this is ?

Many schools are still running, but people are not allowed to travel to them from off post. It's probably a good time to get airborne school and Ranger school if you can.

This is a question your CoC would be able to easily acquire the answer to.

I would imagine that if they're still running the schools like normal, but not allowing people to travel to them, it would be the best time for people stationed there to get in and knock them out.

SPC Harrison,
Have you heard of any new information about getting into Airborne School? Are they banning travel to and from?

More than likely a good chance since travel is limited even from one post to another, most part are on lockdown.
